Summary
About Evolve Psychology 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 forensic psychology means in practice. Lauras 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 blossomed into a national independent psychology service. We earned our first NHS contract in 2021, launched satellite clinics to streamline access, and rolled out neurodevelopmental services to families across the UK. In 2023 we were awarded a further contract in Dublin, to help support the HSE on the assessment of need pathway in Ireland. We are clinicianfounded and clinicianled, proudly registered with HCPC and affiliated with the British Psychological Society and the Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists. Were also award-winning, a testament to the dedication and quality of our multidisciplinary team of over 100 experts. What sets Evolve Psychology apart? Founded and led by Dr Laura Powling, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with 18+ years experience across NHS, forensic, and neurodevelopmental services, bringing deep clinical insight and hands-on leadership to everything we do. We specialise in autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia assessments for children, young people and adults offering a high-quality, person-centred service backed by NHS contracts and available via Right to Choose across the UK. We prioritise clinical quality and real impact, not speed or scale at the expense of care. Our assessments are evidence-based, multidisciplinary, and designed to support the whole person, not just produce a diagnosis. We offer more than assessment work. Our clinicians can contribute to the Evolve Skills & Research Academy, developing training, shaping neuroinclusive content, or collaborating on research, all part of our broader mission to raise awareness and improve support for neurodivergent individuals, educational institutions and workplaces. We have a strong, values-led culture. Compassion, clarity, and integrity guide everything we do, from our team interactions to the way we support families. Were growing sustainably, with purpose.
