Your trusted psychology and neurodevelopmental partner - now launched in Exeter!

Our History

Evolve was born in 2014, when Dr Laura Powling set out to offer a new level of quality care for both clinical forensic psychology and expert witness services. Since then, Evolve's services, team and clinic locations have grown to ensure the Evolve approach can benefit as many people as possible.
