Dr Christopher du Plooy

Neuropsychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“An experienced Neuropsychologist who conducts assessments and works therapeutically with adults.”

About Me

As an experienced Neuropsychologist with a Ph.D., I help adults gain clarity about their cognitive world. My detailed assessments offer clear insights into how brain function impacts daily life. We then work therapeutically, exploring practical strategies for concerns like memory, attention, or executive function. I offer a grounded space, supporting you to navigate challenges. Together, we build effective ways to manage your unique neurological profile.

Approach

Assessment findings become the map I use to structure focused, manageable sessions that translate cognitive results into everyday strategies. In Cape Town, with English sessions, I keep meetings paced and practical: short reviews of progress, targeted exercises, and collaborative planning between appointments so adjustments are concrete and measurable. For concerns arising from stroke, dementia, brain injury or Parkinson’s, work is steady and skills-based, blending problem-solving with real-life practice. People who want clear, usable steps tend to find this approach helpful.
