OUR ETHOS

At McLaughlin Psychological, we believe that every individual is unique and that we all fall on hard times at some stage in our lives, often through no fault of our own. Our relationships with our clients and those we work with is absolutely central to the work we do, recognising the importance of getting to know those we support, their needs, and building trusting relationships so that together we can understand more about you and your experiences and not simply the ‘problems’ you are dealing with.

By better understanding what has happened to a person as opposed the traditional and more medicalised view of ‘what’s wrong with them’ we believe we can empower those we work alongside to make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. We appreciate that every behaviour is underpinned by our emotional experiences and underneath those emotions lie a need that is important. By connecting to our needs and emotions and not the behaviour real healing can take place!

CREDENTIALS AND REGISTRATION

We are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and chartered by the British Psychological Society (BPS), ensuring the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct in our practice

I have instructed Dr McLaughlin on a significant number of occasions as an expert witness in family proceedings to prepare assessments of parents and children. His reports are excellent and extremely detailed. He is able to articulate the needs of children and young people who often have significant difficulties. His reports have been invaluable to the Court and professionals. I am happy to recommend his services

Lumb and Macgill solicitors

Expert Witness Services
Dr McLaughlin completed a comprehensive psychological assessment for our son through the Adoption Support Fund. After many years of feeling fobbed off and like our concerns were not being heard through the NHS, it was deeply refreshing to come across a genuinely empathetic professional that took the time to listen to us as parents and that wasn't scared to delve below the surface into our son's complex ASD/trauma presentation. His report was accurate and deeply insightful and it was the first time we felt we had encountered a professional that truly understood our son and his attachment behaviours. As a result of this assessment, our son subsequently had a full ADOS assessment and received a much-needed ASD diagnosis. Dr McLaughlin has since completed a cognitive assessment and wrote supporting letters to support us in fighting for educational provisions at SEND tribunal when we were fighting to get our son into the right secondary school provision. We are immensely grateful for Dr McLaughlin’s continued support and wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.
