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. Lauras vision was simple yet powerful, to bring care, connection, empathy and clinical excellence together, with no compromise.
