Expert Witness Services
At the Forensic Psychology Clinic, we provide expert psychological assessments and court reports for use in criminal proceedings. Our expert witness service supports solicitors, barristers, courts, and criminal justice professionals. All assessments are tailored to the specific legal context and are grounded in current psychological research and best practice.
We are specialists in conducting risk assessments related to offending behaviour, and our reports are designed to assist the court in making informed decisions around sentencing, risk management, and rehabilitation.
We are experienced in preparing reports for a wide range of cases, including those involving sexual offending, violence, arson, coercive control, and individuals with complex psychological presentations. We can also provide oral evidence in court when required.
We are specialists in providing risk assessments relating to offending behaviours.
We can assist in providing assessments in the following areas:
-
Risk of violent and sexual offending
-
Treatment and intervention needs
-
Mental health
-
Personality functioning
-
Trauma
-
Cognitive functioning
-
Suggestibility and compliance
We provide reports that are clear, balanced, and clinically robust, helping legal professionals and courts understand the psychological factors at play and the potential for change or intervention.
We accept both Legal Aid and privately funded instructions. For privately funded cases, we ask that referrals are made via a solicitor.
Based in Hertfordshire, we cover London and the home counties. For anything further afield, we are able to offer remote appointments or in some cases, travel nationally if needed.
