Mental Health and Trauma Assessments

Diagnostic assessment of mental health and trauma in asylum and immigration cases.

How we assess mental health and trauma

Many people in asylum and immigration proceedings have lived through persecution, torture, exploitation or displacement, leaving deep psychological effects.
The experts at Psychology and Psychiatry Experts provide diagnostic assessment of mental health conditions, personality and the impact of trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder. We work with adults, children and unaccompanied minors, using interpreters and accounting for cultural context, and set out our findings with care for the Court or Tribunal, mindful of what a psychological assessment can and cannot establish.

What our mental health and trauma assessments cover

  • Diagnosis of mental health conditions and personality
  • Structured assessment of trauma and PTSD
  • Assessment of adults, children and unaccompanied minors
  • Experiences of torture, exploitation and severe deprivation
  • Assessment with interpreters and cultural sensitivity
  • Balanced reports that set out their limitations
