Welcome to NeuroHealth

At NeuroHealth, we focus on living well. Our mission is to make neuropsychology assessments accessible to all, empowering individuals to lead their best lives after injury or illness.
With almost thirty years of combined experience in healthcare and neuropsychology, our team offers personalised, evidence-based assessments to help you or your loved ones understand changes in cognition (thinking), memory, and attention.

WHAT IS Neuropsychology?

One of the most common questions we hear at NeuroHealth is, “What is neuropsychology?”

Neuropsychology is a specialised area of psychology focusing on the relationship between brain function and behaviour. It helps identify how changes in brain health can impact thinking, memory, attention, and emotional well-being.

For a more detailed explanation of what a neuropsychologist is and what they do, check out our What is Neuropsychology page.

ASSESSMENT Services

NeuroHealth is a specialist healthcare provider based in Christchurch, offering a full range of neuropsychological assessments. We support individuals experiencing cognitive changes due to:

  • Acquired brain injuries (e.g., stroke, concussion, traumatic brain injury, hypoxia, infections like meningitis)

  • Age-related conditions (e.g., mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease)

We provide both brief cognitive screenings and comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations, guiding diagnosis, treatment, and recovery planning with a focus on improving quality of life.

Our Assessment Options

Below is a brief overview of our three core assessment types. For a full description of each assessment, please visit our Assessments page.

  • This is a one-off consultation with a clinical neuropsychologist. It provides an opportunity to explore current concerns around your cognitive or psychological well-being, without formal testing.

  • This focused assessment helps clarify current changes in thinking, such as memory lapses, attention difficulties, or slowed processing.

    It offers a flexible alternative to a comprehensive assessment, adapted to your specific needs.

  • A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment provides a detailed understanding of how your brain is currently functioning. It explores a wide range of thinking (cognitive) skills, including memory, attention, language, problem-solving, processing speed, and multitasking.

    This type of assessment also considers how psychological factors such as low mood, anxiety, fatigue, or post-traumatic stress may be affecting your cognitive function and everyday life.

PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISION for Health Practitioners

At NeuroHealth, we also offer confidential, professional supervision for health practitioners.

Our supervision services provide a supportive, reflective space to enhance clinical practice, professional development, and personal well-being.

NEUROHEALTH’S Story

NeuroHealth was founded by Jonathan and Leah Hackney, experienced clinicians with over two decades of combined experience in New Zealand’s health system. Frustrated by the gaps in long-term neurorehabilitation and the slow, fragmented care many patients faced, they established NeuroHealth to offer timely, evidence-based support without the barriers often found in traditional healthcare settings.

Here, our clients receive the understanding and personalised care they deserve, without unnecessary delays. We hope our approach empowers individuals and whānau with the knowledge and support needed to confidently navigate cognitive health challenges.
