Older Adults

Lifespan Health offers geriatric psychology, providing assessments, therapy and support for older adults and caregivers.

Helping Older Adults Maintain Wellbeing in Later Life

At Lifespan Health, we offer mental health services for older adults, focusing on age-related concerns such as depression, grief, anxiety and dementia. Our psychologists are highly skilled in providing compassionate, person-centred care that addresses the unique emotional and psychological needs of older individuals. Whether dealing with normal brain aging, navigating life transitions such as retirement or the loss of independence, or managing the emotional impact of age-related conditions, we are here to support our clients every step of the way. In addition to direct therapy for older adults, we also offer support for families and carers, helping them manage caregiving responsibilities and providing tools to ensure the wellbeing of both the caregiver and the individual in care.

Therapy

Therapy for older adults focuses on managing the challenges of ageing, including depression, anxiety and grief. We offer person-centred approaches tailored to each individual’s life experiences, strengths and needs. Our services are delivered in a comfortable and accessible environment, supporting older adults to engage with care in a way that promotes dignity, connection and emotional wellbeing.

Comprehensive Psychology Assessments (CPAs) and Neuropsychological Assessments (NPAs)

Our CPA services for older adults include assessments for neurodivergence, such as ADHD and Autism, providing insight into cognitive strengths and differences to guide tailored support. 

We also offer Neuropsychological Assessments (NPAs) to evaluate cognitive, neurological, and emotional changes, including those related to dementia, stroke, or other neurological conditions. These assessments help families, carers, and healthcare providers understand an individual’s cognitive profile and functional abilities, supporting personalised strategies and care planning.

Telehealth and In-Clinic Services

We offer flexible mental health services through telehealth, clinic appointments and in-home visits, ensuring accessibility regardless of location. Our telehealth platform provides clients with the same high-quality care as in-person sessions, supporting both convenience and consistency.
