We are first and foremost a psychotherapeutic practice providing psychological counselling on a one to one basis. As our focus is on non-diagnostic therapeutic work, it is the policy of the practice that we do not engage in legal work including drafting letters, court reports or attending as professional witnesses. To that end, we would suggest as an alternative that individuals access a service which has expertise in this area through their General Practitioner and/or the Psychiatry profession, who can provide ‘Medico-legal’ reports that cover diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
Should it arise during the course of our work with clients that this is warranted, we shall endeavour to, with their consent, refer the client to a specialist in the medico-legal area.
