As a forensic psychologist in Madrid, I carry out psychological assessments, forensic appraisals and expert reports aimed at answering specific questions within a legal proceeding.
Clinical assessment seeks to understand and guide. Forensic assessment starts from a specific question and requires answering it with rigour, impartiality and attention to the available evidence.
I hold a Master's degree in Forensic and Criminal Psychology and accreditation to carry out psychological forensic appraisals. My experience in psychological assessment with children, teenagers and adults allows me to integrate interviews, documentation, psychological tests and other relevant sources, distinguishing between what can be supported by the available data and what it is not possible to conclude.
My experience can be especially useful in assessments related to psychological impact, childhood and adolescence, disability, autonomy and the provision of support.
Each commission is assessed individually according to the expert question, the available documentation and the scope of the assessment. The fee is quoted separately and, when necessary, can include confirmation of the report before the court.
