Chartered Psychologist

Dr. Alexandra Sanderson

Dr Alexandra Sanderson is an experienced psychologist and neurodiversity specialist with over 25 years of experience working with children, families and adults across the UK, Hong Kong and Singapore. She specialises in the assessment and support of individuals with neurodevelopmental differences, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Gifted and Talented.

Holding a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Southampton UK, Dr Sanderson is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and an Associate Fellow of both the British Psychological Society and Hong Kong Psychological Society.

Dr Sanderson is passionate about supporting parents and families. Recognising that understanding a child’s difficulties can sometimes feel overwhelming, she offers a warm, understanding and non-judgemental approach, helping parents make sense of their child’s unique strengths and challenges and feel more confident about how best to support them. Drawing on her experience lecturing psychology at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the University of Wales, Bangor, she combines academic knowledge with practical, real-world advice. She also has a particular passion for identifying and supporting neurodivergent girls and women, whose needs can often be overlooked or misunderstood.

As a mother of two neurodivergent children with autism and ADHD, Dr Sanderson also brings valuable personal insight into the experiences and challenges faced by families. This, alongside her professional expertise, underpins her passion for helping individuals understand their unique profiles, recognising their strengths and accessing the support they need to flourish.
