Experience across clinical, legal and institutional settings.
Complex psychological questions rarely exist in isolation. They may involve mental health, behaviour, risk, treatment needs, legal standards, institutional systems and decisions that have significant consequences.
Our psychologists have spent decades working across these environments. Forensic Behaviour Services brings together experience in private clinical and forensic psychology, institutional and correctional mental health, sexual behaviour assessment and treatment, risk assessment, court-related work, program leadership, research, supervision and professional training.
Our role is not simply to administer an assessment or deliver a program. It is to understand the question, apply appropriate evidence and professional judgment, and communicate our findings in a way that is useful to the person or organization making the decision.
