Carrie Allen – Neuropsychologist - Claremont

Carrie Allen is a Neuropsychologist and Senior Clinician at Perspectives Psychology Group in Claremont, Cape Town. She earned her Honours in Psychology and Master’s in Neuropsychology from the University of Cape Town, where she developed a deep fascination with brain–behaviour relationships. During her Honours research, she explored how traumatic brain injuries affect cognition, mood, and behaviour, which inspired her to specialise in neuropsychology.

Early in her career, Ms Allen completed an intensive internship at Groote Schuur Hospital, rotating through adult neurorehabilitation and cognitive assessment units. There, she collaborated with neurologists and occupational therapists to design evidence-based rehabilitation plans. Subsequently, she served at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, where she assessed paediatric neurological conditions and tailored interventions for young patients. These experiences honed her skills in both adult and child neuropsychology, enabling her to deliver compassionate, precise care.

At Perspectives Psychology Group, Ms Allen integrates her multidisciplinary background into tailored assessment protocols. She applies standardized neurocognitive tests, clinical observation, and patient history to map each client’s cognitive profile. Furthermore, she liaises with psychiatrists and rehabilitation specialists to translate findings into personalized treatment plans that address memory, attention, and executive-function deficits. Consequently, her patients benefit from clear insight into their strengths and challenges.
