About

As an Expert Witness Medico-Legal Psychologist, I work with UK-based law firms, government agencies, and private legal practices, specialising in forensic mental health. I provide comprehensive psychological and forensic assessments, particularly for clients navigating complex immigration-related legal cases. My assessments are conducted both remotely (via secure webcam consultations) and in person, and I regularly visit Immigration Removal Centres and Prisons in the UK and Ireland. I am occasionally also instructed to visit clients in prison in Spain and other Spanish speaking countries, especially where for example an English speaking person has been imprisoned or detained. All clients are referred through solicitors or accredited legal advisers, ensuring each case is handled with professionalism, accuracy, and ethical integrity. Beyond my expert witness work, I also offer forensic mental health consultancy through our specialist platform, www.cgforensicmentalhealth.com This service supports both corporate and individual clients, providing tailored guidance on psychological risk, behavioural health, and wellbeing in high-stakes contexts. A distinctive feature of this offering is the Private Psychological Concierge — a bespoke, discreet service designed for clients seeking high-level psychological expertise and personalised support. I am a native English speaker and fluent in Spanish, which enables me to work effectively with clients and professionals from Spanish speaking backgrounds. I am an active member of the British Psychological Society, the Psychological Society of Ireland, the American Psychological Association, and the International Association of Forensic Mental Health. These affiliations reflect my commitment to ongoing professional development, ethical excellence, and the advancement of forensic psychology on an international scale
