Professional Background & Expertise

The practice is led by a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) with substantial experience in forensic and secure mental health settings, working with individuals involved in the criminal justice system and presenting with complex mental health and risk issues.

Alongside clinical expertise, the practitioner is a qualified paralegal, with formal training in legal processes, documentation, and case preparation. This combined background enables a structured, legally informed approach to forensic mental health consultancy and expert witness work.

When acting as an expert witness, the practitioner’s primary duty is to the court, providing independent and unbiased opinion within their professional scope of competence. 

Mental health information may need to be understood within a legal context, while legal professionals may require clear and accessible explanations of complex mental health information.
