Who are we?

Flourish Foundation was born out of Flourish Fostering – our outstanding therapeutic fostering service. We realised that the high-quality courses we were producing to train our foster parents to become experts in therapeutic care could (and should) extend to a wider fostering community and beyond to ensure that therapeutic education is accessible and attainable for everyone who works with vulnerable young people.

Bridging the gap between theory and practice

We believe that true change starts with understanding and compassion, and our mission is to spread that knowledge as widely as possible. At Flourish Foundation, we’re committed to providing training that doesn’t just tick boxes but transforms perspectives. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, our courses are designed to empower you with the tools and confidence to handle even the most challenging situations with empathy and effectiveness. Whether you’re a teacher, a healthcare professional, or someone working directly with vulnerable children, our goal is to make therapeutic education not just accessible but also transformative, enabling you to foster positive change in the lives of those you care for.

Meet our team

At Flourish Foundation, our training courses stand out because they are delivered by individuals who not only possess advanced qualifications but also have real-world experience in providing exceptional therapeutic care.

Our team includes a diverse group of experts—from psychotherapists and foster parents to professionals with doctorates in therapeutic care—each bringing a unique blend of knowledge and hands-on experience. This combination ensures that every course we offer is not only academically robust but also deeply practical and directly applicable to day-to- day scenarios.
