About Thrive Education
At Thrive Education, we believe that all children have strengths and immense potential. Our mission is to make education accessible for every child by creating environments where they feel valued and supported.
We pride ourselves on providing tailored and truly individualised programmes that can be easily incorporated by teachers and schools into the everyday curriculum.
We work closely with schools and teaching teams to help them better understand how to create more inclusive and adaptable learning environments. Our aim is to equip educators with the knowledge and strategies they need to support students with diverse needs, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Our work is trauma-informed and responsive. We understand that experiences such as parental separation, abuse, or exposure to natural disasters can have a profound impact on a child’s behaviour, well-being, and ability to learn. These challenges are often misunderstood or mistaken for learning difficulties. At Thrive Education, we recognise the signs of trauma and provide strategies and support that help children feel safe, build resilience, and re-engage in their learning.
Meet the founder
Thrive Education began as a very personal journey. When my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and later Generalised Anxiety Disorder, I saw firsthand just how difficult school can be for children who learn differently. Despite years of teaching experience with students who had learning needs, nothing prepared me for the reality of watching my own child’s struggles being amplified in the classroom while her strengths often went unnoticed. I also came to see the emotional and psychological impact this had on families at home, and the toll it took on children themselves.
From this experience, I became determined to find better ways to support children, teachers, and parents. Many teachers desperately want to help but are often under-resourced, overworked, and left without practical, hands-on strategies that they can use in real time. While there is no shortage of theory and information, what’s missing are clear, adaptable approaches that work in the day-to-day classroom. Thrive Education was born out of the desire to bridge that gap.
My determination to create meaningful change in education has led me to undertake a Master’s in Educational Leadership. Through this, my goal is to influence leadership and policy at a higher level, building systems that uphold equity and equality for all children.
This step builds on my postgraduate degree in responding to trauma, where I developed a deep understanding of how adversity impacts learning and well-being. I have also gained specialised training in dyslexia and ADHD, ensuring that I can support children with diverse learning needs in practical, effective ways. Earlier, I began a Master’s in Inclusive Education but chose not to complete it after realising its limited potential for driving the kind of change I wanted to see.
Alongside formal qualifications, I continue to expand my knowledge independently, reading widely across research, books, and professional resources. This ongoing pursuit reflects my belief that the best way to serve children, teachers, and families is through continually seeking out the most effective, compassionate, and inclusive approaches to education.
At the heart of everything I do is the belief that every child has unique abilities that deserve to be recognised, nurtured, and celebrated. Learning should be something that all children can enjoy. My role is to help create the conditions, through environment, content, and delivery, that allows each child to thrive, while also supporting teachers and schools in their vital work.
