Alex Fuchs-Bahar is a neuropsychologist based in Heidelberg, VIC. The clinic is at 145 Studley Road, Heidelberg, VIC 3084. Alex works with people who are dealing with changes in memory, thinking, and everyday communication.
Many appointments start with something that feels small but keeps getting in the way. At times that might be memory loss, trouble finding words, or noticing changes that affect work, school, or home life. In other cases, families come in because they’re worried about dementia or how the brain is coping over time.
Alex looks after people who may be facing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, including vascular dementia. There’s also support for situations connected to CACH syndrome, and for developmental dysphasia. For some clients, the goal is to understand what’s happening and what can help most in day-to-day life.
Neuropsychology can also cover communication and speech-related needs. Alex works with people who experience selective mutism, and with those dealing with developmental language differences. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies, clear explanations, and ways to reduce stress for both the person and their family.
Another area of care is anosmia, which is a reduced sense of smell. Even though it can sound niche, it can have a big impact on safety and quality of life. Understanding the pattern of symptoms can help people plan what to do next.
In many cases, the work is about finding a clearer picture. That might include looking at memory and thinking skills, how they change, and how they affect daily tasks. Over time, this helps people make more informed choices, whether that’s about supports at home, adjustments at school, or planning for the future.
Alex’s approach is calm and grounded. The focus stays on what the person needs right now, and what matters most for real life. If you’re not sure where your concerns fit, it’s still okay to start the conversation. A first step can be sorting out the main concerns and building a plan from there.
Research and clinical trials: specific trial involvement isn’t listed for this clinic. The care is mainly focused on assessment, support, and practical next steps for brain-related and communication-related concerns.
