Dr Elizabeth Elliott

I am a Forensic Psychologist currently working part time at The National Psychology Clinic, and also as a Highly Specialist Psychologist in an NHS Medium Secure, forensic service based in London.

I qualified as a Doctor of Forensic Psychology in 2017 and in 2021 I was awarded the Bond Solon Expert Witness Certificate in Criminal Law from Cardiff University.  I have worked in acute and complex care mental health inpatient and outpatient services, as well as in prison, probation and court settings. My roles have been largely clinical, although have also included supervisory responsibilities. I have worked with adults and families with varying complexity and psychological needs, who present with a varity of mental health symptoms and conditions. I have designed and delivered specialist ‘train the trainer’ autism training for staff working in inpatient forensic mental health settings in collaboration with South London and Maudsley NHS Trust and The Estia Centre.

I have specialised in working with high risk cases including individuals who have been accused, or convicted of, violent and sexual offences. This has included regularly conducting psychological and risk assessments for the courts and local authority. I have completed training in clinical assessment including assessing for neurodevelopmental conditions, personality disorder and mental illness. I have also delivered individual and group treatment following cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness-based approaches.
