She will examine the results of these in order to form an opinion as to whether it is likely that the claimant has sustained an emotional injury, in which case a full psychological assessment can be arranged.

Personal injury cases requiring psychological assessment after trauma including medical negligence for adults.

Over 30 years experience with birth trauma, major disasters and aftermath of sexual assault.
