Treatment of Problematic Sexualised Behaviours

I have completed specialist training at the Institute of Sexology and Sexual Medicine at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Dissexuality Therapy. Dissexuality Therapy seeks to prevent child sexual abuse and the use of child exploitation material, by helping people who are sexually interested in children manage these interests without acting on them.

I provide specialist intervention for individuals who have engaged in, or are at risk of engaging in, problematic sexual behaviours. Clients might refer themselves, or seek treatment as a condition of sentencing by a court.

Court Reports and Forensic Assessments

I can assist legal representatives with high-quality psychological reports for legal proceedings, including:

• Violence risk Assessments

• General offending Assessments

• Sexual offence Risk Assessments

My reports are written with both accuracy and clarity in mind, translating complex psychological findings into language that can be easily understood by people without specialist training.

When preparing a report, I take the time to build a complete picture of the individual and their circumstances. This usually involves a number of clinical interviews, psychological testing, and a review of background material. It might also involve talking with family members, other professionals or seeking information from additional collateral sources, when required. I then structure the report around the questions posed by the court or legal representative, ensuring that the information provided is directly relevant to the case.

The areas I most often report on include risk of future offending, the psychological factors that may have contributed to an offence, and how an individual’s mental health may be affecting their behaviour or decision-making. I also have particular expertise in assessing sexual offence risk, drawing on specialist training and experience in this area.
