Mindtools about us…

Bianca Reidy

Hi, I’m Bianca and I am a mental wellness advocate and super passionate about creating a generation of emotionally intelligent humans. I am so grateful that you are here and I am sure that if you are reading this that you are just as passionate as I am.

Being a Mum and part of a beautiful big blended family with a background in primary school teaching, I witnessed first-hand that the education system was not prioritising the mental and emotional wellbeing of our children.

I am the face and founder of Mindtools and with a Masters’s Degree in Psychology and my teaching experience, I am committed to changing the space of mental health within the education system by reducing stigma, breaking barriers and opening conversations.

With honesty, kindness and compassion the very foundation of my own life and Mindtools, we are hoping to normalise all emotions, we are hoping to teach children empathy and hoping to start conversations about all things orbiting mental well-being.

With 1 in 7 children expected to struggle with some sort of mental health issue before they are 14 … frightening right? … Mindtools are on a mission to advocate for children and the future of their mental wellness.

Our goal is to help them embrace the perfectly imperfect and ride the ebbs and flows that make each and every one of us, human beings.

As a school counsellor, I am committed to gathering and sharing mind tools to help children with the ability to regulate, rationalise and work through their emotions.

With our little loves at school for a large percentage of the day, I have come to realise that workshops encompassing growth mindset, resilience and emotional wellness are not just important but absolutely vital. It is within these group settings that children are able to realise that they are not alone with their feelings and that problems are ‘figureoutable’.

So watch this space my lovely new friends as Mindtools is here to shake things up for the better within the classroom and arm our next generation with the tools to develop confidence, resilience and self-acceptance.

I have a HUGE vision to help as many children as possible.

Let’s get to it!

Love Bianca x
