Assessments & Court Work

NeuroHavens strives to serve as your partner in parenting success. We offer consultative services to professionals who work in family court and parenting interventions which focus on the unique challenges of neurodiversity. Our systemic and family psychotherapy service offers tailored strategies to address the specific needs of children and/parents who live with neurodiverse conditions, fostering effective communication and conflict resolution skills among parents. 

 

We also provide comprehensive  assessments of family functioning,  personalised coaching plans, and training on parenting skills that are essential for  assisting families who are facing adversity to thrive. We offer emotional support to parents, collaborate with legal and social work professionals, and we can facilitate court-ordered mediation to advocate for the best interests of children. With ongoing support, we help parents  to rise above some of the common complexities of  navigating family life with neurodiversity in a parenting context, to help with ensuring a stable and nurturing environment for children and their families. Our neuro-affirming interventions are tailored to the unique challenges and strengths of each family, ensuring that legal decisions are informed by a deep appreciation of their specific needs. This collaboration can promote empathetic and effective outcomes, ultimately enhancing the well-being of all family members involved. Our core assessment offerings are listed below. 

 

 

Assessments

 

Welfare (Section 7)

NeuroHavens provides comprehensive Section 7 welfare reports using systemic and family psychotherapy, combined with culturally reflexive approaches. Our method ensures a thorough and sensitive assessment of family dynamics, considering the cultural and individual needs of each member. By employing these evidence-based practices, we deliver reliable and personalised reports that support informed decision-making in family court proceedings.

 

Siblings Together & Apart

We offer specialised siblings together and apart assessments using systemic and family therapy services, catering to children with a range of sensory sensitivities and varying attachment and cultural needs. Our approach offers a comprehensive understanding of sibling dynamics, individual needs, and family interactions. By assessing siblings both together and apart, our therapists can identify patterns of behaviour, communication styles, and areas of conflict or support. This insightful assessment helps in developing tailored interventions that strengthen sibling relationships and enhance family functioning, promoting a healthier and more harmonious family environment.

 

Parenting Capacity & Family Functioning

NeuroHavens provides a unique and comprehensive approach to systemic and family psychotherapy, specialising in sensory-based assessments, psychodrama, and evidence-based parenting interventions. Our services are designed to meet the needs of families involved in family court proceedings, particularly those with neurodivergent members. By utilising sensory-based assessments, we gain a deeper understanding of individual and family dynamics, offering crucial insights for informed decision-making. Our goal is to support families with evidence-based practices that consider the sensory experiences of all members, promoting a holistic and empathetic approach to family psychotherapy and parenting assessments.

 

Family Therapy

NeuroHavens offers a specialised systemic and family psychotherapy service that is reliable, personalised, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. Our approach leverages sensory-based interventions to effectively engage hard-to-reach families, ensuring a tailored and empathetic therapeutic experience. We understand the unique challenges families face and are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based care that respects the cultural and individual needs of each family member.


Expert Witness Assessments
NeuroHavens is a unique service provider offering neuro-affirmative and culturally sensitive expert witness assessments and reports for local authorities and family courts, as well as assistance with contact disputes. Our distinguishing feature is our holistic, multidisciplinary approach, integrating the expertise of a family psychotherapist and children and families social worker as well as a health psychologist. This collaborative effort ensures that our assessments are comprehensive and insightful, covering all aspects of family functioning.

Our trauma-informed approach is rooted in the latest research and best practices, creating a safe and supportive environment for all families. We go beyond diagnosis, helping families understand the results and develop coping strategies to deal with the emotional impact. Our assessments are informed by input from an external clinical supervisor to ensure the highest standards of quality and accuracy. This extra level of scrutiny provides more reliable and helpful results for both families and legal teams.

Our services include follow-up sessions for parents and children, psycho-educational workshops on relevant topics, and ongoing support to help families navigate the outcomes of the assessment and move forward positively. We believe in empowering parents with a clear understanding of the assessment process and results, fostering open communication through feedback sessions.

With a commitment to delivering efficient and compassionate assessments, we offer results in as little as 6-8 weeks, significantly reducing the typical waiting time. Our multidisciplinary team brings a holistic perspective, ensuring that families feel supported throughout the process. By focusing on parenting capacity, mental health, attachment narratives, cognitive functioning, physical health and cultural sensitivity, we provide solicitors with a strong foundation for advocating for their clients' best interests.

Our mission is to help families who others have perceived as hard-to-engage can bring their best selves to the assessment process. Our team is adept at assessing stress management and identifying triggers for parents and family units. Solicitors in family law will find our comprehensive and in-depth assessments invaluable, saving time and strengthening their cases with detailed insights that other services might miss. At NeuroHavens, we are dedicated to providing the best possible service, ensuring positive outcomes for families and legal professionals alike.
