Dr. Alexandra Gregory
Educational Psychologist & NME Trainer

BSc, PGCE, O. A. Dip, DEdPsy 

A very warm welcome and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Alex and I am an Educational Psychologist based near Brighton in the South East of England. A former qualified teacher in both mainstream secondary and specialist schools, I now work to apply psychology to education to help promote positive change for children and young people, families, and schools. I currently work for a local authority EP service 4 days a week and through GPS 1 day a week (soon-to-be 2). Stemming from my own lived experiences, I specialise in the areas of support for siblings of children with additional needs, and childhood trauma. 
 

My family support work involves:

• Running events (talks and workshops) for siblings of children with additional needs and their families.

• Co-supervising masters and doctoral research projects on sibling school outcomes and experiences at the University of Southampton.

• Being an 'expert advisor' and part of the team of contributors at Friendili (a social networking site and app for families of children with additional needs).

• In the future, I am interested in setting up a parent/carer support group, as well as more regular sibling workshops. 

​

My work in the area of developmental trauma involves:

• My role within Sussex Psychology (a therapeutic mental health and trauma service) e.g. as a certified NME Trainer with the ChildTrauma Academy in America, which involves delivering training to schools in the Neurosequential Model in Education.

• Volunteering as an Independent Visitor for a child looked after within the care system. ​

Please note that my GPS work does not include:

• EP and NME work within West Sussex, due to my Local Authority role. 

• Legal/tribunal/expert witness work or any EHCP appeals.
