I offer specialist psychological consultation and assessment for dissociation, stress- or trauma-related situations, and attachment-related difficulties. These services are designed to provide an in-depth psychological formulation, particularly where experiences involve memory disruption, self or identity confusion, depersonalisation, derealisation, or complex trauma, together with careful diagnostic clarification where appropriate.

Dissociative symptoms are often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. A structured specialist assessment can help clarify the nature of these experiences and provide clear recommendations for treatment. The aim is to provide a detailed psychological formulation to guide treatment and recovery, together with diagnostic clarification where this is sought.

My approach integrates clinical interview with validated dissociation, trauma, and attachment measures widely used in specialist psychological assessment, conducted in accordance with established clinical and professional standards.

Consideration is also given to temperament and neurodevelopmental factors, including sensitive temperament and neurodiversity, where clinically relevant. More comprehensive assessment of these areas can be arranged separately if required.

All consultations and assessments are conducted online.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call, which provides an opportunity to briefly discuss your situation and determine whether consultation or specialist assessment would be helpful in clarifying your experiences and identifying the most appropriate next steps. This also allows time to explain the available options and answer any initial questions. Click here to schedule this.

A 50-minute consultation to understand your concerns, consider possible diagnoses where appropriate, and discuss recommendations.
