Dr Sarah Gillanders is a clinical neuropsychologist with 20 years’ experience working with people affected by traumatic brain injury. She currently works at the South East of Scotland Major Trauma Centre and is a Director of Edinburgh Neuropsychology Ltd.

 

Her experience spans the full journey after TBI — from supporting patients and families in intensive care in the days following injury, through to therapeutic work years down the line. Over two decades, she has drawn on countless conversations with patients and families to understand not just how brain injury affects people, but what it actually takes to live well afterwards. She has a particular clinical interest in helping people adjust to, and live well with, the lasting effects of brain injury, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support recovery, adjustment, and emotional wellbeing.
