About of Linda J. Richards

Linda J. Richards is a neurologist based in St Lucia, QLD 4072. She works with people who have brain and nervous system conditions, including problems that start in childhood and longer-term conditions that need careful follow-up.


Her clinic experience covers a mix of areas. For example, she looks after congenital conditions like congenital mirror movement disorder, corpus callosum agenesis, Aicardi syndrome, Marshall-Smith syndrome, and septo-optic dysplasia. At times, these diagnoses can be complex for families to understand, so she focuses on explaining things in plain language and helping people make sense of next steps.


Linda also helps manage brain tumour and brain growth concerns. This can include astrocytoma, ependymoma, glioblastoma, glioma, and gliomatosis cerebri. When symptoms change, or imaging findings raise questions, she takes a steady approach and supports patients through the process, step by step.


Neurology doesn’t just involve scans and reports. In many cases, she also supports people dealing with related developmental and behavioural needs, such as autism spectrum disorder and increased head circumference. These conditions can overlap with brain development in different ways, and getting the right care early can make a big difference to how things play out over time.


Living with a neurological condition can be stressful, and sometimes it affects sleep, mood, learning, and daily routines. Linda aims to keep care practical and grounded. She works to coordinate what people need, so appointments feel more manageable and the plan stays clear.


Linda is based in St Lucia, serving patients across the local area of Brisbane and surrounds. If you’re looking for a neurologist who understands both congenital neurological issues and brain tumour concerns, Linda Richards is a name worth knowing.
