Dr. Simon Kirwilliam
Biography
Dr Simon Kirwilliam is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist. He trained at University of Oxford and spent 15 years with the NHS, latterly as Neuropsychology Pathway Lead in North East London Foundation Trust. He continues to provide consultation and assessment for a range of private and public sector organisations. Dr Kirwilliam has completed Bond Solon expert witness training courses and has worked as an expert witness for over 10 years.
He has extensive experience completing medico-legal reports on the psychological and neuropsychological injuries sustained following serious injury and medical negligence. Dr Kirwilliam specialises in the assessment of cognitive impairment following injury to the brain (i.e. TBI, stroke, other neurological cause); and psychological assessment of adjustment disorder, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression following accidents or secondary to personal injury. He has worked on cases involving serious and personal injury abroad and is adept conducting joint expert meetings.
He uses only ‘gold standard’ tests of cognitive functioning and symptom validation as part of his thorough assessment process. From his experience of working across London, he is particularly skilled working with people from non-English speaking cultural backgrounds and alongside interpreters.
Dr Kirwilliam is available to see clients in London and the South East (nationwide at request) with a turnaround of 4-6 weeks.
