Our psychologists have had years of experience providing in-depth witness testimonies detailing various elements of a patient’s condition, from diagnosis and details of the disorder to treatment plans and progress information.

What does an expert witness psychologist do?
At Psymplicity Healthcare, our expert witness psychologists are trained to provide in-depth, reliable information about our patient’s conditions in a legal capacity.
The process usually begins with direction from a patient’s solicitor, who will ask our team to produce either a thorough medico-legal report or appear in court to deliver a witness testimony.
We can provide a variety of assessments and reports depending on the specific case and your condition. Our team can evaluate hundreds of conditions, assess cognitive impairment, family issues, mental difficulties, personality disorders and provide detailed risk assessments.
