Meet your trainer
Dr Zoe Brown, Educational Psychologist
After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a degree in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, I spent time working as a teaching assistant in a busy secondary school. Upon realising I wanted to undertake further study and expand on my use of psychology in education, I returned to the University of Nottingham to study the Doctorate in Applied Educational Psychology. Since qualifying in 2018, I have worked at Nottinghamshire Educational Psychology Service as a main-grade educational psychologist and, more recently, as the senior educational psychologist for training and projects. I am also the Nottinghamshire County Council lead for the NottAlone project which aims to bring together support and signposting to local mental health support services in the area.
I am passionate about organisational psychology and I enjoy working with schools to make changes which support the school community as a whole. I am also interested in Narrative psychology, supporting children in care/ previously in care and equity & inclusion.
