Immigration assessments

Asylum and humanitarian protection

Evaluating psychological trauma related to war, torture, persecution or exploitation. We assess post‑traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and other manifestations of trauma and explain how these conditions impact functioning and credibility.

Hardship and exceptional circumstance waivers

Assessing the psychological consequences of deportation or separation on the applicant and their family. We document stress, anxiety, depression and risk of suicide, explaining the likely impact on well‑being if a waiver is not granted.

Victims of torture, exploitation and domestic abuse

Providing detailed assessments for victims of torture, sexual exploitation, trafficking or domestic violence. Our reports consider the physical and psychological sequelae of abuse and the potential risk of retraumatisation.

Cognitive and mental capacity assessments

Conducting IQ and capacity assessments for applicants whose first language is not English or who may have cognitive impairments. We explain how cognitive limitations affect the ability to understand and participate in proceedings.

Our clinicians have training in trauma and cross-cultural psychiatry and are familiar with the standards required by immigration authorities.

Objectivity

We produce unbiased reports that are grounded in evidence and focus on clinical findings.

Sensitivity
