Every session is designed with your objectives, audience, and context in mind, ensuring it is relevant, practical, and impactful.
Andrea has extensive experience working with a wide range of organisations, from public bodies and charities to high-profile sporting organisations such as Sports NI, the IFA, DFC, and even the Commonwealth Games.

Bespoke training is not limited to a specific audience. Andrea can design programmes for men’s groups, women’s groups, neurodiverse participants, volunteers, and staff teams alike. In the first half of 2026, she delivered tailored sessions for a volunteer group on having conversations about mental health and conducting trauma-informed discussions. These sessions are examples of how Thrive Minds can adapt content to address the specific needs, experiences, and challenges of any group.
