Forensic Psychology
At CPFP we offer court and criminal risk assessments, offence focussed treatment and best practice psychological interventions, which can be delivered in person or online, in an individual capacity or, in some cases, a group setting.
We can conduct interviews and assessments in our rooms, prisons and facilities, or in consulting rooms throughout Ireland. Video interview facilities can also be utilised where necessary. Our focus is on providing clear, evidence-based reports and our consultants endeavour to maintain close communication with legal colleagues and clients to ensure accuracy and prompt delivery of work.
We can also prepare expert evidence reports for other purposes such as, Parole Board hearings, Family Court matters, Victim’s Compensation claims, Workers Compensation claims, accident and personal injury, medical negligence, pain and suffering, and other medico legal matters.
