Clinical, counselling, forensic, educational or health psychologists are found in healthcare settings. Psychologists may specialise in mental health, educational or occupational psychology. Psychology focuses on behaviour and the thoughts which drive that behaviour. Psychology involves studying people and exploring how they think, act, react and interact. Independent Expert Psychologists are self-employed and either take on cases or instructions directly from clients or they work with an organisation such as WillisPalmer which matches cases to the Independent Expert Psychologists within our national network of professionals who have the correct knowledge and expertise for that particular case. At WillisPalmer, our psychologists also work alongside other professionals including expert social workers, psychiatrists and family support workers in our multi-disciplinary interventions aimed at supporting families by addressing their support needs. An Independent Expert Psychologist can provide a variety of services including assessments, expert reports and therapy. Certainly, at WillisPalmer, we would look for a highly experienced psychologist who has the skills, training and expertise to enable us to deliver the high-quality services that we promise.
Whereas there are no absolute guidelines which set out the exact nature or amount of experience or training that an Independent Expert Psychologist must have, it is essential that they have significant expertise and specialism behind them and that that they are able to carry out the highest quality assessments which are defensible in Court.
Any qualified psychologist who is registered with Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and who is an expert in their field can become an Independent Expert Witness Psychologist, sometimes referred to as an Expert Psychologist.
