Resilient Educators. Resilient Schools.
Practical, evidence-based strategies for teachers and school leaders — grounded in psychology, neuroscience, and firsthand experience.
MEET ANDREA
Andrea is a clinical psychotherapist, school-based team leader, and school counsellor who brings that experience to the stage — speaking specifically on resilience and leadership, and a personal story that makes the work real.
Her presentations are built on a foundation of established findings in psychology and neuroscience, including Compassionate Systems Frameworks and practices, paired with what she sees and hears firsthand in schools. The experiential strategies she shares are immediately practical and impactful, not just theory you’ll forget by Monday.
What sets Andrea's presentations apart is that resilience, and developing leadership, isn't just something she teaches — it's something she's lived. Audiences leave her sessions not just with tools and a story that stays with them, but with substance delivered through the kind of humour that makes hard topics easier to sit with.
Andrea was drawn to this work through a deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and trauma-informed care — shaped by her own story, and by years spent supporting others navigating systems.
Alongside her clinical and school-based work, Andrea also brings an eclectic personal background — including a career in music and achievements in competitive sport.
