About Robert

Robert Ruane is a Clinical Neuropsychologist whose work focuses on brain injury rehabilitation (for example after a traumatic brain injury or stroke) and the assessment of older adults with cognitive concerns or dementia.

He also works with people with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and encephalopathy, and with neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and intellectual disability.

Robert has worked in multidisciplinary healthcare teams. His assessments can inform diagnosis, identify the areas and severity of any impairment, guide decisions about returning to work, study or driving, and support NDIS and Centrelink applications.

He takes a person-centred approach, working with individuals and their families on compensatory strategies, lifestyle changes and cognitive remediation to make the most of preserved abilities.

Your first session with Robert

Expect a conversation, not an interrogation. Robert will ask what's been happening and what you'd like to be different, and you share only what you're ready to. By the end you'll have a rough plan, and a sense of whether it feels like the right fit.
