Comprehensive Psychological Assessments for individuals claiming criminal injury compensation
If you have been a victim of a crime and are in the process of seeking compensation, I am able to help. I provide a comprehensive psychological assessment that involves in-person interviewing and psychometric testing to help capture how the incident has affected you. This is communicated in a report format and provided to your legal team for submission to the department of justice.
Assessment Process
The assessment process may vary depending on your needs. Generally, the assessment involves 4 hours of face to face interviewing (broken up into two 2-hour appointments). During these I will gather information about your current symptoms, your history, and the incident in question.
After your first appointment I will ask you to complete various questionnaires that assess specific symptoms and give me more information about the challenges you are facing, as well as inform any potential psychological diagnoses.
I then write up the report itself, which will be completed within 2 weeks of your second appointment. Once this is done I will meet with you a final time to talk you through my findings before the report is sent to your team, and give you an opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

Jessica's Approach
Collaborative
I take the time to explore and understand the problems you're facing, so that we can uncover insights and develop interventions that are individually tailored to your journey. I may be a psychologist, but only you are the expert in your own life!
Human First
I encourage you to come as you are to sessions. Whether that’s cracking jokes, sitting on the floor, or swearing like a sailor (as long as you don’t mind a little of the same from me!). I want therapy to feel like a safe space where you can present in a way that feels most natural to you.
Flexibility
I offer both face-to-face and telehealth sessions depending on your location and your needs. I also have after-hours appointments available to help you access support around a busy life.
