Samara Psychology offers four services across the family law process, from the early stages of a dispute through to professional development for fellow psychologists. Each is designed around a different stage of need, but all share the same starting point: the well-being of the children involved.
Child Impact Assessment
A focused assessment used early in proceedings, to help parents and the court make interim decisions about children.
Family Reports
A comprehensive assessment used later in proceedings, ahead of final hearings, when long-term parenting arrangements need to be decided.
Child Consultation
A way to bring children's voices into mediation, so parents and solicitors don't lose sight of what their children actually need.
Specialist Supervision
Clinical and forensic supervision for psychologists who find themselves navigating the family law system.
FAQs

Mostly timing and depth. A child impact assessment is conducted early in proceedings and helps inform interim decisions. A family report happens later, ahead of a final hearing, and can draw on a much wider range of records and includes formal recommendations about long-term parenting arrangements.
