Life has a way of piling onto us and sometimes its hard to recognize the effects of our experiences over time. This can lead to developing unhelpful coping skills in the moment, that are not conducive to a healthy and happy life. We need to adapt and find other ways of coping once the storm has passed, which can be difficult to do on your own. As a qualified psychologist, I have experience in working with inpatient and community settings over the last 6 years. I specialize in working with Personality Disorder (BPD, ASPD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD and CPTSD), and neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, LD, Autism).

Have you been through something painful or overwhelming that has left a lasting mark? It may have been a single moment — an accident, an assault, something that happened suddenly and changed everything. Or it may have unfolded over time: a childhood that didn't feel safe, or a workplace that was undermining, humiliating, or unpredictable. These experiences may have contributed to you feeling anxious, low in mood, mistrustful or self-critical — and may have affected your relationships, confidence, or your sense of who you are.

Forensic Psychology Counsellors
How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behaviour that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.

Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.

Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behaviour as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.

How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
