What changes are present, and how may they relate to the events?
Symptom chronology, severity, personal, work and social functioning, treatment, history and consistency of sources. Current impairment is distinguished from potentially lasting effects.
Useful records
Clinical and therapy records, sick leave, documentation of events and information about prior functioning. Psychological assessment complements the records rather than replacing them.
How we structure the instruction
We first define the question and establish what information is available. We then propose the necessary steps, timing and fees. Where direct assessment is appropriate, we arrange interviews and select methods suited to the person and the question.
The report distinguishes background, sources, findings and conclusions. Court attendance and subsequent clarifications are expressly defined in the proposal.
Explore the stagesScope and limitations
Symptoms alone do not prove an alleged event or a single cause. Causal analysis requires the timeline, history and alternative explanations.
Before instruction
How much does an expert psychological assessment cost?
The fee depends on the question, people to assess, volume of records, travel and court testimony. We provide a proposal setting out scope, stages and fees before the instruction.
How long does a report take?
Timing is agreed after reviewing scope and the availability of records and interviews. Tell us about hearings or procedural deadlines at first contact. Urgent work is accepted only after assessing feasibility.
Can the report be explained in court?
Yes. Preparation and attendance to explain the report are agreed in the instruction. In-person or remote attendance depends on the procedure and the court’s authorisation.
