Medico-Legal - Psycan

Having qualified I am able to carry out a full range of medico-legal assessment and intervention services.

This includes child protection, care proceedings, Mental Health Capacity for Children, Adults and Older Adults (now under the umbrella of Adults) and private law cases – within my area of expertise within Psychology -  across Southern England and -  if required -  further afield.

I have also been involved in cases that have reached the Criminal Court with regards to both children and adults. All my clinical work is self-regulated and not reliant on support staff.  

Areas of medico-legal expertise and ready practice:

• Comprehensive and global family assessments for Child care proceedings – This covers the full age range spectrum.

• Attachment, parenting, sibling and family assessments

• Private Law proceedings assessments for custody and access controversy

• Forensic adolescent and adult risk assessments

• Personal injury assessments of adults and children

• Assessments of post traumatic stress disorder – Working with both acute and
 long-term PTSD. This includes war veterans.

• Cognitive, personality, emotional, developmental and comprehensive
  psychometric assessments of adults and children. Due to my developmental
  background  -   ranging from paediatrics through to older (now incorporated
  under the umbrella of Adults) adults -   I can comfortably implement and adapt
  assessments through the age spectrum and across the cognitive potential range
  to meet the client’s needs at the time.

• Assessment of abuse, domestic violence and emotional harm – across the
 gender and age spectrum.

• Assessments touching on neuropsychological and developmental delay and the
 subsequent impact thereof – stretching into adulthood.

• Supported feedback for potential care plans emanating from assessment is
 usually included/recommended.

• Supervision of child and adult care professionals -   whether supervisory or
 hands-on caring -   is also available.
