Therapy Service

An interdisciplinary approach to rehabilitation for people living with brain injury

Our Therapy team use their expert knowledge of brain injury and skills across a range of therapies to offer a bespoke and specialist interdisciplinary approach to neurorehabilitation. 

We work collaboratively with other Headway East London services to support people to achieve their potential and live a meaningful life.

 

We offer private therapy sessions with the aim of supporting people living with brain injury, their family or carer in navigating the complex path of recovery.

We offer the following therapies and services:

  • Occupational Therapy
  • Neuro Physiotherapy
  • Speech & Language Therapy
  • Psychotherapy
  • Neuropsychology
  • Medico-legal assessments and reports
  • Vocational rehabilitation

Therapy can support people living with brain injury to manage symptoms such as fatigue, pain or dizziness, develop strategies to manage cognitive impairment, and gain confidence and independence.
