Kevin O'Doherty (Psychologist, CBT Therapist, and Expert Witness) provides professional services to solicitors and agencies across the UK and Europe. He is highly trained in the assessment and treatment of psychological injuries, adhering to the standards set by the Rehabilitation Code, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), the Psychological Society of Ireland, and the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. Kevin is registered with the British Psychological Society, the American Psychological Association, and the International Association of Forensic Mental Health Services.

​

Psychological assessments involve an in-depth clinical interview to evaluate the psychological effects of potentially traumatic events, such as immigration-related issues. These may include conditions like anxiety, depression, panic, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Assessments are typically conducted in a single session, either face-to-face or via webcam, depending on availability.

​

When preparing assessment reports, Kevin provides a comprehensive analysis of the psychological impact of the identified issues, considers the relevance of any pre-existing conditions, and offers a prognosis. Treatment recommendations are made when appropriate, following a thorough review of relevant documents, such as medical records, reports, and prescribed medications.

​

In addition to psychological assessments, Kevin also conducts forensic mental health evaluations in criminal cases. He assesses a range of factors, including the individual's state of mind at the time of the offense, their mental health during the intervening period, current mental health, diagnosis, prognosis, and the likely psychological impact of imprisonment.

​

All of Kevin’s work is supervised by a qualified Clinical Supervisor, ensuring adherence to the guidelines of the British Psychological Society and the International Association of Forensic Mental Health Services.
