Psychological Assessment
Assessments to Meet Your Needs
GB Psychology specialises in high-quality psychological assessments for use in personal injury and medical negligence cases. Our clear, evidence-based reports that assess the psychological impact of trauma, accidents, or adverse medical experiences. We offer services to solicitors, insurers and medico-legal agencies to deliver timely, objective evaluations that cover diagnosis, symptom severity, causation, prognosis, and treatment recommendations. Commonly assessed conditions include PTSD, adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain-related psychological distress.
All assessments are conducted with clinical sensitivity and a strong understanding of the legal context, ensuring reports are fit for purpose and written to a professional standard that supports fair and informed outcomes in litigation.
Court Reporting
We provide specialist psychological assessments to evaluate the emotional and psychological impact of incidents relevant to legal proceedings. These assessments are frequently instructed in the context of personal injury, medical negligence, occupational stress, road traffic accidents, assault, and other trauma-related experiences.
Our assessments are conducted by a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with experience in both clinical practice and medico-legal work. Each evaluation is thorough, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practice. We assess a wide range of psychological difficulties.
Each report includes a detailed clinical formulation, diagnostic impressions (where appropriate), assessment of severity, consideration of pre and post-incident factors, causality, prognosis, and treatment recommendations. Reports are structured to meet legal standards, providing clear, impartial, and accessible opinions that assist the court or instructing party in understanding the full psychological consequences of the incident.
We accept instructions from claimant, defendant and joint parties. Appointments are available with short turnaround times guaranteed.
Trauma Informed Approach
At GB Psychology, all psychological assessments are carried out using a trauma-informed approach. We recognise that many individuals referred for psychological evaluation - particularly in the context of personal injury, medical negligence or assault - have experienced significant distress or trauma. We create a safe, respectful, and compassionate environment that minimises the risk of re-traumatisation during the assessment process.
Being trauma-informed means we:
- Prioritise emotional safety and build trust from the outset
- Respect each individual’s pace and autonomy throughout the assessment
- Are sensitive to the effects of trauma on memory, behaviour, and psychological presentation
- Aim to take into account the broader context of each person’s lived experience when formulating opinions
This approach not only improves the quality and accuracy of our assessments but also ensures that clients feel heard, understood, and supported during what can often be a challenging process. Our goal is to provide clear, evidence-based reports that respect both the psychological impact of trauma and the dignity of those we assess.
