Educational Psychology services for schools and Local Authorities in the North West of England.

My name is Alice Wignall and I am a private Educational Psychologist based in Southport, Merseyside.

About Me

I provide support for children and young people across the North West, including Sefton, Lancashire, Liverpool and Cheshire. I carry out work commissioned by schools and Local Authorities, and love to develop ongoing relationships with settings over time.

Before working independently, I trained and worked within a Local Authority Educational Psychology Service for six years, and prior to that I was a primary school teacher and SENCo.

I am registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) and have undertaken further training in several areas, including Non-Violent Resistance (NVR Level 2), Motivational Interviewing, Emotional-Based School Avoidance and TheraPlay.

If you would like to find out more or are interested in working with me, please get in touch!
