I provide comprehensive psychological assessments of adults, for a wide range of presenting problems, using objective psychometric and neuro-psychological assessments and by a semi-structured clinical interview.
Areas assessed include:
- Cognitive/intellectual functioning (e.g. IQ)
- Social and adaptive functioning (necessary for a diagnosis of intellectual impairment/learning disability)
- Memory functioning
- Executive functioning (i.e. the more complex areas of brain functioning, including adaptive behaviour, abstract thinking, mental flexibility, problem solving, planning, initiation, personality, especially drive, motivation and inhibition, and social behaviour)
- Fitness to Work
- Personal Injury
- Mental Capacity issues
- Fitness to Plead
- Capacity to consent to sexual activity
- Malingering
- Suggestibility and Compliance
- Personality disorders and clinical syndromes
- Dementia syndromes (e.g. Alzheimer’s Disease)
- Affective conditions (e.g. anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, etc.)
- Capacity to Parent
This is not an exhaustive list. Please contact me to discuss your individual requirements.
