At Evolve Psychology, we do things differently. Founded in 2014 by Dr Laura Powling, Evolve Psychology began with a bold aim to redefine what clinical and neurodevelopmental psychology means in practice. Laura’s vision was simple yet powerful: to bring care, connection, empathy, and clinical excellence together, with no compromise.What started as a small practice delivering expert witness and neurodevelopmental assessments has grown into an international independent psychology and neurodevelopmental service providing services across the UK, Ireland and beyond. In Ireland, we are nationally and regionally approved by the HSE. We also accept privately funded referrals. We specialise in a number of different pathways which include:Neurodevelopmental assessments through the HSE Assessment of Need pathway,Undertaking assessments under the National Autism FrameworkUndertaking assessments referred from Community Disability Network Teams (CDNTs)Private neurodevelopmental assessments (online when clinically appropriate and in person)SpLD (Dyslexia and Dyscalculia) assessmentsSpecialist individual assessments by Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language TherapistsWe are clinician founded and clinician led.
