Psychological evaluation for asylum cases

In an asylum case the applicant's declaration is the central evidence, and trauma shapes how that account is told: gaps, blurred dates, silences. A psychological evaluation documents those clinical effects and explains why they appear, without casting doubt on the person living through them.

Confidential interview. You can pause and resume whenever you need to.

A setting that protects the account

The interview is arranged in short segments with breaks, because revisiting persecution, violence or loss is not paperwork. We never push for details you cannot hold in the moment.

  • We explain up front what will be asked and why.
  • You can stop the session and continue another day.
  • The report does not transcribe your whole story, only what is clinically relevant.

Instruments we use

We apply recognised scales so conclusions rest on data, typically the PCL-5 for post-traumatic stress symptoms and a depressive symptom inventory. Scores appear in the report together with their interpretation, never on their own.

How the report is used in your case

Attorneys usually file it as supporting evidence for the declaration: it helps explain memory inconsistencies, current levels of distress and the risk of return. We do not opine on whether asylum should be granted, which is a legal decision.

Confidentiality

Clinical notes and files stay in a private record only the assigned clinician can open. Nothing is shared with third parties without your written authorisation, and you can request a copy of your report at any time.
