"Dr. Watson is my expert of choice and has been for several years now, particularly in complex cases both within the public and private children law arena. Her reports are outstanding; carefully written, detailed analysis and recommendations which are accessible for the client. Her reports are always on time, if not early. Her oral evidence is also excellent, she is a fair and balanced witness. I have no hesitation in recommending her as an expert witness."

"I would like to thank Louise for working with us, it has been incredibly helpful and insightful to have the conversations we had. The work allowed us as parents to look at our blind spots, and think about those situations where we could improve our communication with each other and our children. Also, X is now a much happier and more confident person, and Louise's support has been a big part of that transformation. X now has tools and techniques to help her navigate her thoughts in more challenging moments"

"After so many struggles in accessing support on the NHS, meeting Louise was really a breath of fresh air. The communications were clear and efficient beforehand. On the day of the appointment, I was greeted with a warm welcome and our session took place in a cosy and airy therapy room right at the heart of Bury St Edmunds. I did not feel rushed at any point and was encouraged to speak openly while at the same time following the guidelines needed for the psychological assessment.
It was truly a relief to feel heard and validated and to be able to share my experiences and feelings in such a supportive and empathetic setting. I was also encouraged to reflect on aspects of my life which I might otherwise have failed to mention and was grateful to have the questions guided in such a way as to bring out the information needed to present a clear clinical picture. I highly recommend Louise for an assessment or therapy. Having travelled from Cambridge myself, it is well worth the trip to Bury St Edmunds to meet with such an approachable psychologist and I even enjoyed a little walk around the town and beautiful Abbey gardens afterwards".
