What We Do
As a Clinical Psychologist, Dr Anthony (Tony) Nicholas uses various well tested psychological approaches to assist with disclosure, promoting safekeeping and ensuring confidentiality. The intention of therapy is to establish personal authenticity and integrity so that well-being and resilience are secured.
As a Forensic Psychologist, Dr Nicholas has broad experience in assessing clients who may be a victim to a crime or charged with an offence(s).
A thorough assessment is undertaken through a face to face interview. The assessment covers details of what happened, how the situation came about and the effect on the client. Details are also taken of the client's history; including family, relationships, education, employment and health status.
A comprehensive report is subsequently prepared. The report covers the issues from the interview, as well as a diagnosis and an opinion of the consequences that those issues have had on the client. The report is then forwarded to the client's legal representative.
