I am Dr Ann Lewis. I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council  – HCPC. I have worked as an expert witness in the medico-legal field, specialising in personal injury claims, since 2001. In that time,

I have assessed around 4000 clients, including adults, teenagers and children and infants of all ages.

I accept instructions from solicitors, insurance companies and medico-legal agencies, acting for either the claimant and/or the defendant, to assess claimants for conditions such as PTSD post traumatic stress disorder – adjustment disorder, anxiety, depression, pain disorders, specific phobias, situational / travel anxiety or other psychological injury.

I produce high quality and thorough court reports. I am frequently instructed in the following types of cases:

Road traffic accidents – RTA, pedestrian accidents, accidents at work, medical negligence, dental negligence, slips, trips and falls, dog bites, work-related stress, assaults and false arrest / imprisonment by the police.

I also offer therapy to private clients, including cognitive behaviour therapy  – CBT and third-wave CBT. Alongside my medico-legal practice I worked in a secondary care NHS Psychological Therapies service for over 20 years.

I see clients either face to face or via video link. I am fully aware of my responsibilities as an expert witness and to this end,

I have undergone relevant training and obtained Part 1 of the Certificate of Medical Reporting: The Bond Solon Civil Procedure Rules Expert Witness Certificate.

I also keep up-to-date with medico-legal related CPD e.g. attending Bond Solon or BPS (British Psychological Society) training and conferences.
