What this service offers
This Psychology in Probation service is for people where aspects of their personality may relate to their offending and why they commit serious offences.
Just because someone is referred to this service does not mean they have a personality disorder. If they do have a diagnosed personality disorder, this service aims to help them make sense of this and what it means for them. This service aims to reduce the chances of someone committing offences in the future.
The team is made up of experienced probation officers, a clinical psychologist and a psychological therapist.
A person’s probation officer is likely to be their only contact point to this team. Occasionally someone may be offered a direct assessment with someone from the therapy team, if there is a particular clinical need.
What conditions do you treat?
Personality disorder
Access this service
In the first instance, any questions someone has should be directed to their probation officer who will do their best to find out the answers.
