Alexander Gray, a registered psychotherapist with boarding school training, is putting on a boarding school circle, as below.
Boarding School Circles are:
- Small, confidential group sessions
- Structured but relational
- Online, with cohort continuity
These aren’t lectures or discussion forums. They’re guided, reflective circles where shared experience becomes a resource rather than a liability.
Group work can really help to normalise your experiences and truly feel nourished and nurtured like you may not have felt before.
CLOSED CIRCLE
A 12-week structured circle for those ready to commit to change starting on 17th April.
Includes:
✔ Weekly online circle (90 mins)
✔ Cohort continuity (same group)
✔ Facilitated themes exploring the boarding experience
✔ Private Boarding School Survivors WhatsApp Community
✔ One 30-minute Integration Coaching Call with Alexander
Investment: £300 (£25 per circle)
Programme Journey (Themes): Across 12 weeks we explore:
- Introductions
- Before Boarding
- First Day & Survival
- Sleep & Rhythm
- Eating & Nourishment
- Friendship Patterns
- Authority & Teachers
- Home–School Balance
- Performance & Achievement
- Career Identity
- Relationships
- Closing & Integration
(This sequence is semi-structured — responsive to the group’s needs.)
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This circle is for you if you:
✔ Went to boarding or similar institutional schooling
✔ Feel that early separation shaped your adult emotional life
✔ Want deeper connection with others who understand
✔ Are ready to explore patterns with intention
This is not a crisis support group. If you need immediate support or clinical trauma therapy, consider individual therapy first.
What You Can Expect
Participants commonly report:
- Feeling seen and understood
- Reduced isolation
- Greater emotional self-awareness
- Better capacity for intimacy
- Increased self-care confidence
This is a relational process — meaningful engagement yields the best experience.
