About Evolve Psychology At Evolve Psychology, we do things differently. Founded in 2014 by Dr Laura Powling, Evolve Psychology began with a bold aim to redefine what clinical and forensic psychology means in practice. Laura’s vision was simple yet powerful, to bring care, connection, empathy and clinical excellence together, with no compromise. What started as a small practice delivering expert witness and neurodevelopmental assessments has blossomed into a national independent psychology service. We earned our first NHS contract in 2021, launched satellite clinics to streamline access, and rolled out neurodevelopmental services to families across the UK. We are clinician‑founded and clinician‑led, proudly registered with HCPC and affiliated with the British Psychological Society and the Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists. We’re also award-winning, a testament to the dedication and quality of our multidisciplinary team of over 100 experts.
