Clinical Services for Professionals
CLINICAL ASSESSEMENT
Structured assessment and clinical recommendations
We offer comprehensive clinical assessments for clients presenting with dissociative symptoms, trauma-related difficulties or identity disturbances. These structured assessments explore symptom history, diagnostic indicators and functional impact, helping to clarify the nature and severity of dissociation. Each assessment includes a written report with clinical recommendations, which can support ongoing therapy, multidisciplinary care planning or formal diagnosis. We work collaboratively with referrers and tailor each assessment to the needs of the individual and their care context.
EXPERT OPINION
Independent reports for diagnosis and planning
Our team provides expert opinion reports on dissociation, trauma and related presentations. These may be requested to inform diagnosis, therapy planning or processes such as tribunals and safeguarding reviews. Reports are evidence-informed, clearly structured and written with sensitivity and clarity. Each includes a summary of key findings and, where appropriate, a clinical formulation. We’re happy to discuss any specific requirements in advance – whether the report is for internal service use or part of a formal procedure.

TESTIMONIALS
What some of our clients have to say
The assessment process with my assessor was an incredibly validating experience. I finally feel like I have an explanation for what’s been happening all my life and a clearer direction for how to move forward….Thank you again for making what could have been a very daunting process feel so supportive and smooth.
Thank you so much for your email, and for the care and thought you put into your reflections following our session…..we really appreciate the way you held space for everything that was shared.
We really are incredibly grateful for the time you gave us in a safe way, and for how you supported everyone who came forward.
I just wanted to say how lovely you are and tell you how much I appreciated the way you were. I don’t have a great memory of the process for that day but my overwhelming memory is of your kindness, supportiveness and understanding.
Pottergate made a potentially difficult decision, full of trepidation, as easy as it could have been made for me and all our learned trauma responses that we had to navigate.
I could not have asked for any better in what you have provided in the reports. Thanks so much to the team for your efforts.
