Welcome to Psychiatry Associates
Psychiatry & Expert Witness Services for Legal Professionals
At Psychiatry Associates, we specialise in delivering independent, high-quality psychiatric evaluations for legal professionals and institutions across the United Kingdom. Our services are specifically tailored to support those working in law, insurance, and social services, including Crown Prosecutors, Solicitors, Children’s Services, and insurers, who require expert psychiatric insight to assist with legal and welfare matters.
Our Consultant Psychiatrists bring decades of experience in diagnosing and managing mental health disorders, evaluating parental capacity, assessing risk, and providing clear, defensible expert witness reports for both civil and criminal proceedings. Every assessment is conducted with the utmost attention to detail, confidentiality, and professional standards.
Why Choose Us?
We work with a range of clients, from legal professionals needing independent expert witness opinions to insurance companies managing complex psychiatric claims, and we understand the importance of precision and timeliness in legal settings. That’s why we offer:
- Prompt report turnaround to meet court deadlines
- Flexible assessment methods (video or in-person)
- A secure, confidential referral process
- Nationwide coverage with a central London office
Our goal is to provide psychiatric insight that is not only medically accurate but legally robust, clear, and actionable. Whether you are dealing with a case involving fitness to plead, capacity evaluations, risk assessments, or complex diagnoses, we are here to support your process with clarity and professionalism.
