I also accept private referrals for mental capacity assessments. I conduct assessments for a variety of decisions, including litigation, CoP3, testamentary matters, lasting powers of attorney, marriage, divorce, court of protection, property and financial affairs, health and welfare, and more.

A compassionate, kind, professional

Tim is kind, patient and great at what he does. He was a reassuring presence during the unpleasant but necessary step of getting a Lasting Power of Attorney.

The LPA was for my adult son who has autism and a learning disability. He spent a couple of hours with my son, creating a safe and calm space for my son to understand a difficult process.

Tim was also very patient with me as I grappled with the paperwork, and reassured that he'd be available for any complications in the application.

There were no complications, the application was successful, and I've got peace of mind forever.

Highly Recommended – Professional and Kind Support

We were referred to Tim by our solicitor and required a CoP3 form to be completed for our daughter in order to move forward with a Court of Protection application. From the very beginning, Tim was professional, kind and extremely considerate. He took the time to explain the process clearly, answered all of our questions, and ensured everything was completed quickly and efficiently.

Most importantly, Tim made our daughter feel comfortable and at ease throughout the assessment with his calm and friendly approach — in fact, we think she quite enjoyed the visit, which speaks volumes about his manner and professionalism.

We are extremely grateful for Tim’s support and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing similar services.

Tim Farmer is amazing!

Tim Farmer is one of the most talented mental health professionals I have ever met. He recently completed a capacity assessment for my son, and my family will never forget our wonderful experience of working with him.

Tim is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and he exudes quiet confidence. He is also approachable, insightful and intuitive in his work. These qualities relieved our anxiety immediately and made it easier for us to navigate an intimidating, complicated and potentially confusing process.

I highly recommend Tim without hesitation and with immense gratitude for his gracious accompaniment on our way!

Respectful, gently spoken and highly professional

I found Tim Farmer to be highly professional. He carried out a Mental Capacity Act assessment prior to completing LPAs. I was not present during the assessment but the feed back from the donor was he was excellent. He was reassuring and explained things clearly.

Tim is fantastic

Tim is fantastic. He is so clear, kind and thorough, and really takes the time needed to get to the bottom of a question with a client. His reports are very detailed.

Experienced, professional and compassionate

Tim Farmer came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. I needed a mental capacity report for a family member to support release of equity and he was able to arrange a short notice home visit. Shortly after arrival we were able to achieve a good level of understanding of the detailed requirements. He then conducted a face to face discussion with the family member, gently and compassionately drawing out the required information to then be able to produce a comprehensive and timely report. I have no hesitation in recommending Tim for these sort of mental capacity reports.
