Specialist Neurodevelopmental Practitioner – Evolve Psychology Services
About Evolve Psychology
At Evolve Psychology, we do things differently. Founded in 2014 by Dr Laura Powling, we began with a bold aim to redefine what clinical and neurodevelopmental psychology means in practice. Our mission: to bring care, connection, empathy, and clinical excellence together—with no compromise.
Originally a small practice specialising in expert witness and neurodevelopmental assessments, we’ve grown into an international independent psychology and neurodevelopmental service spanning the UK, Ireland, and beyond.
Our key pathways in the UK include (via NHS and private):
- NHS-funded neurodevelopmental assessments (online/in-person via Right to Choose)
- Private neurodevelopmental assessments (online/in-person when clinically appropriate)
- Assessments for SpLD (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia)
- Intellectual disability/cognitive assessments
We’re clinician-founded and -led, with all clinicians registered with HCPC, NMC, GMC, or Social Work England (or affiliated with the British Psychological Society). As an award-winning, multidisciplinary team of over 100 experts, we’re committed to excellence in every interaction.

- Digital-first support: Proprietary electronic health records, diagnostic tools, and ongoing training to enhance efficiency and quality.

- Sustainable growth: Expanding globally while keeping quality at the core, with clinics across the UK and a multidisciplinary team of 100+.
