OUR STORY
We are excited to share our knowledge
Positive Education UK & Ireland was founded from a passion to bring positive psychology, coaching and wellbeing into education, families and organisations in a practical and sustainable way.
After many years working in education, leadership and coaching, Zeena saw a growing need to support not just students, but the entire ecosystem around them, specifically teachers, leaders and parents. Wellbeing cannot sit in a single programme or initiative; it has to be embedded into culture, language and everyday interactions.
Alongside her professional work, Zeena’s perspective is also shaped by her experience as a parent of neurodivergent children, navigating an education and health system that is often not designed for different kinds of minds. This experience strengthened her belief that we need to move from a model of “fixing problems” to a model of building strengths, resilience, self-belief and supportive environments for everyone involved.
This led to the development of a suite of evidence-based positive psychology coaching programmes and resources, built around a triad approach to wellbeing and performance, where teachers, pupils and parents share responsibility for creating environments where people can thrive.
The aim is simple: to help build psychologically safe, compassionate and progressive communities where wellbeing and performance grow together, not in competition.
