Welcome to TINT Education
Our transformative online and in-person training equips schools, educators, and organisations to better support the diverse and evolving needs of children and young people. With growing challenges in mental and emotional health, it has never been more important to adapt practices and promote inclusion, build stronger relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Founded in 2022, TINT Education simplifies complex knowledge from neuroscience, psychology, and psychotherapy, making it relevant and applicable to your role. Our progressive professional development equips you with actionable strategies to respond effectively to behaviour, adapt communication, and meet diverse needs. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we build on what you’re already doing well, integrating evidence-based approaches that show how small adjustments, applied consistently, can have a big impact.
​
Our training enhances outcomes for children and young people while prioritising staff wellbeing and confidence. We understand the pressures of demanding work environments and provide strategies that are realistic, achievable, and mindful of limited resources. By focusing on your wellbeing - because nobody can pour from an empty cup - we empower you to create positive changes that strengthen both your practice and personal resilience.
About Lucy Mannion, Director
I qualified as a Primary School Teacher in 2011, gaining experience in mainstream and special education settings in Ireland and Australia before pursuing postgraduate studies in psychology at University College Dublin in 2014. I completed a Master’s in Psychology at Kingston University London in 2017, achieving first-class honours in both degrees. My work as an Assistant Psychologist with the Irish Prison Service and NHS adult mental health services deepened my understanding of trauma and neurological differences, shaping my approach to education and care.
​
These insights influenced my roles as a teacher and senior leader in therapeutic special schools in London, where I worked on multidisciplinary teams to support pupils with complex trauma, Autism, ADHD, and social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties. Since founding TINT Education in 2022, I’ve drawn on this range of experiences, along with my current training as a clinical psychotherapist, to develop and deliver unique, high-quality learning experiences that empower others to create meaningful change. As a neurodivergent person with ADHD, my lived experience also enriches my work, bringing a depth of understanding, empathy, and authenticity to everything I do.
​
While my academic studies have been invaluable, nothing has taught me more than my practical experiences. The vulnerable children and young people I’ve had the privilege to work with have been my greatest teachers. Their extraordinary resilience continues to inspire me every day, and my work is dedicated to them and the belief that anyone can thrive when given the right environment and support.
About Tint Education
TRAUMA-INFORMED
Trauma-informed practice involves understanding, recognising, and responding to the effects of trauma. It focuses on creating safe, supportive environments that minimise re-traumatisation, and emphasises the importance of curiosity and a non-judgemental attitude. Central to trauma-informed care is collaborating with children and young people in problem-solving, empowering them with a voice and choice, and supporting post-traumatic growth to help them lead fulfilling and purposeful lives.
NEUROINCLUSIVE
Neuro-inclusion involves creating environments and practices that recognise, value, and accommodate the diverse ways people think, learn, and process information. It embraces neurological differences such as Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and more, ensuring that individuals are supported in ways that meet their unique needs and strengths. Neuroinclusive practice fosters acceptance, reduces barriers to learning, and promotes equity by recognising that different learners need different types of support to achieve success.
THERAPEUTIC
A therapeutic approach emphasises kindness, compassion and acceptance within teaching practices and relationships. It is not about acting as a therapist but about proactively responding to interactions and events in an informed and empathetic way. This approach promotes emotional literacy, self-regulation, and the creation of safe, supportive environments where children and young people can overcome adversity and reach their full potential.
