I have a private practice as expert in the treatment of trauma and P.D. and have been instructed as Expert Witness in several instances (over 200 in the last year) reporting on cognitive and personality aspects, on behalf of defendants, claimants and local authorities. Remote assessments are provided on all major video platforms and face to face meetings can be arranged at either my East London or Shenley, Herts. clinics, or nationwide by appointment.
