BIRTH INJURY
At Healthy You, we bring deep clinical expertise and a trauma-informed approach to birth trauma litigation. We understand the complex emotional, psychological, and relational impact of traumatic births – not just on the individual, but on their entire family system. Our team of experienced psychologists work closely with solicitors, case managers, and legal professionals to provide robust expert witness reports, capacity assessments, and therapy that support both clients and case outcomes. Whether acting as expert witnesses, treating clinicians, or trusted advisors, we are committed to compassionate, professional, and high-quality service throughout the litigation journey.
Our Services Include:
Expert Witness Services:
We provide clear, well-reasoned psychological reports tailored for litigation involving birth trauma. Our expert witnesses are experienced in assessing the psychological impact of traumatic births on mothers, partners, and families. Reports are written to CPR Part 35 standards and include detailed analysis of diagnosis, causation, prognosis, and treatment needs. We work closely with instructing parties to meet timelines and legal requirements, offering balanced and evidence-based opinion for both claimant and defendant cases.
Trauma-Informed Therapy for Claimants
Many clients involved in birth trauma litigation are navigating ongoing emotional distress. Our team provides specialist psychological therapy, with a focus on trauma recovery, tailored to each client’s needs. We work with clients at various stages of the litigation process to help manage symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, low mood, and disrupted attachment. Therapy is offered pre- or post-litigation and can be funded privately, via insurers, or through case management.
Support for Partners and Family Members
Birth trauma doesn’t just affect the birthing person – partners and wider family members can also experience psychological distress. We offer assessments and therapy for family members impacted by birth trauma, helping to build a more complete picture for litigation and recovery. This holistic view ensures all affected parties receive the psychological support they need and that legal cases reflect the full emotional impact of the trauma.
