Our Team

Directors

Emma Mander

Emma Mander, Co-founder and Strategic Lead for families, schools and services for Great Minds Together.

Emma began Great Minds Together with Meg Walls in early 2019. Since then Emma has become a leading specialist in SEND and SEMH needs with a particular passion for children that are struggling to engage in education as a result of unmet and/or unidentified needs and is certified in SEND, Child Protection, Safeguarding Children and Safeguarding Adults. Since creating the Great Minds model with her co-founder, Emma has been a part of a number of multi-disciplinary teams that have achieved the right diagnosis and support for children across the country. Emma also offers her time to families that are at tribunal stage and believes this support should be provided to families for free. Whilst the first course of action has always been to attempt to resolve matters and achieve what is needed for the children before parents have to go through such a stressful process, where Emma has then represented parents at Tribunal she has a 100% success record of achieving what is needed for the child. Emma, along with Meg and their team now support more than 2000 families and professionals across England, with a specific focus on upskilling schools, helping to identify need, link in the relevant services and ensure accountability is in place and resolution is achieved promptly. More recently Emma has focussed her support to schools in ensuring their CPOMS software is fully audited and correctly configured in line with 'Working Together to Safeguard Children' and 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' guidance

"I started my career in health and social care in 2001, where I worked in a number of different settings including schools, hospitals and residential homes. In 2005 I took a role in a property company and pursued my career in Housing for almost a decade. During this period I was responsible for the management of more than 50 staff members and over 500 tenants and landlords. I qualified as a contract writer in 2007 which focussed on housing law and project management.

In 2010 I had my first child, and it was after this point that I truly recognised that my passion was in people, and specifically in psychology and social care, and so in 2014 I decided to return to my studies in Psychology and I purchased my first business. For the following 5 years, I had two more children, I completed a number of courses in Psychology and achieved a number of accreditation's with a particular focus on SEND and Mental Health in young people, whilst running three different businesses that had a focus on families. During my time as a business owner, I created a number of SEND friendly sessions at our family centre and child speciality cafe's and began to work very closely with a number of local families in our area. In 2014 I also became a school Parent Governor and became very interested on how education and social care linked together.

As my children began to grow, and I witnessed the world they were growing up in, noticing a significant amount of challenges around mental health in children and young people, I decided to write a Life Skills curriculum. We began delivering the Life Skills curriculum in schools and community centre's in April 2019.

My passion is to ensure I am always doing something that "gives back" to society in some way that makes a difference. I have a keen interest in Psychology, problem solving and creating solution focussed model's that have a strong social value as well as Growth Mindset and positive thinking. It is my goal to ensure that all families in England are fully supported in managing the challenges that life throws at them as we explore a world of high need and little understanding.

Since working on The Great Minds model since April 2019, it has become evident that there are a number of significant gaps within our system when it comes to education, housing and social care. I feel strongly about working together with a multi-agency approach to help bridge those gaps for families whilst also supporting schools and services. I believe that there should be a central independent resolution organisation that helps unite all families, services and community groups to ensure that no family is left feeling unsupported. By providing a wraparound service for families that have children with SEND and/or SEMH needs, that mentors, co-ordinates and supports, I am certain that this will help improve our system and the overall outcomes for children and young people in a positive way."

Meg Walls

Emma Mander

Meg Walls, Co-founder, Social Work Director, Safeguarding Lead and Quality Assurance Officer for Great Minds Together.

I became a qualified social worker in 2010 after completing an MA in Social Work Studies although have worked with children and families for many years prior to this.

I have had caring commitments from a young age and my working career has been focused on working with vulnerable people- children and young people, young adults and adults with physical and learning disabilities in their homes and community settings as well as supporting older people in the community.

As part of the Masters programme I completed two 100 (6 month) placements with an agency supporting destitute refugees and asylum seekers and their families and working on a Community Mental Health Team supporting adults in the community who have severe and enduring mental illness.

As a social worker spanning a decade I worked for three local authorities including Rochdale, Tameside and Manchester and have experience of working on various teams including First Response (duty and assessment), child protection and court teams, later going on to specialise in Cared For/ Looked After Children. After working as a senior practitioner for a number of years I worked for a year as an Independent Reviewing Officer for Manchester Local Authority and also as a team manager for Tameside, being responsible for a team of 15 social workers and hundreds of families whose children were ‘Looked After’.

I have supervised students and NQSW’s as well as more experienced social workers and particularly enjoy sharing good practice and supporting others to learn to put theory into practice. Although very challenging particularly when working full time and having two children within three years it was an invaluable experience. I ended my work in local authorities when I left to became a foster carer in July 2019. I remain an Independent Social Worker and am registered with Social Work England as appropriate.

I am a mother of two birth children, from a huge Irish family and am also a foster carer alongside my long term partner; we have cared for several children with various levels of need. I feel particularly strongly about promoting positive outcomes for Looked After Children and working in a strengths based way with all families and practitioners, valuing parents and families as the experts they are. I have a particular interest in attachment and trauma informed practice. I love my role within Great Minds Together and believe that we are part of a new social movement of change working towards better outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities and/ or social, emotional and mental health needs.

Core Team

Joanne Galeski

Catherine O'Sullivan

Joanne Galeski

Operations Director

My name is Joanne Galeski and I am the Great Minds Together Operations Director. I provide support to our two co-founders and manage our multi-disciplinary teams.

My core strengths lie within my Police experience.

I worked within the East Lancashire area for over 11years predominantly as a Detective Constable on the Criminal Investigation Department.

Working in such a culturally diverse geographic location, I am all too aware that one box does not fit all and that the needs of young people and their families must be addressed on an individual basis.

During my Police career I was proud to achieve PIP Level 2 status as a Detective along with CPD qualifications including Specialist Interviewing and Family Liaison Officer to name a few. I expanded my knowledge further by studying for and passing a Foundation degree in Forensic Science and Technology at the University of Central Lancashire during that time.

I have investigative experience in a wide range of crimes including those involving domestic abuse, Child Sexual Exploitation, Child Criminal Exploitation, serious sexual offences and high risk missing persons. During my investigations sometimes involvement (or referral) with other key contacts was required such as Operation Engage (CEOPS) and Prevent. The Prevent programme which is now 1 of the 4 strands of the Governments Counter Terrorism Strategy CONTEST.

I am fully supportive and understand the benefits of ongoing personal and professional development, you have to keep moving with the times and with accountability being more prevalent than ever, CPD is a must.

I competed in netball and athletics to a high level whilst going through education so I completely endorse and support the use of sports and exercise from a health and wellbeing perspective for lifestyle choices. It brings about a sense of discipline, responsibility, goal setting, personal achievement and team work and it can have a profoundly positive impact upon mental health too. I also believe that sport is an excellent diversion technique for young people who are on the periphery of or who are starting to engage in Anti-social behaviour or crime.

I am very much people-orientated, I want to help, I want to make a difference and I want to a part of a team that brings about change to remove these gaps in education, social care and housing needs. The ripple effect is huge and by working with a multi-agency approach the word ‘remit’ as far as I’m concerned can be banished. Being part of Great Minds Together has shown how positive significant changes can be made to young peoples and their families lives when agencies and people pull together.

Kirsten Rennie

Catherine O'Sullivan

Joanne Galeski

Strategic Lead for Wraparound Support

I am Kirsten and I have 12 years experience working with children and families, previously managing a busy after school and holiday club.

I have a passion for children’s welfare and wellbeing and know that building and sustaining relationships with children and families is essential to achieving the best outcomes for all. This is the ethos of Great Minds Together and I am extremely proud to be working in such an inspirational company.

I am a level 3 qualified play-worker and have also gained a diploma in social work. I have multiple professional certificates including designated safeguarding lead, CAF, Autism awareness, Prevent duty and First Aid.

More recently I have gained certificates in child attachment and Early Help Assessment. Within my first 5 months at Great Minds Together I have been able to be a part of the intervention programme working mainly with children who are at risk of exclusion. This has been very rewarding and has had a 100% success rate thus proving that working multi-agency and providing wraparound services for families and children is essential to achieving the best outcomes for all involved. I am excited to see what the future brings. .

Catherine O'Sullivan

Speech and Language Therapist

I qualified with a degree in psychology and speech pathology in 1998 and have been fortunate to enjoy a wide and varied career working as a speech and language therapist in both clinical and team lead roles since that time.

Quite early on I decided to specialise in working with children and young people of school age with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) in a wide range of mainstream schools and a specialist resourced based provisions. I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in primary teaching in 2003.

In recent years I have developed a particular interest and expertise in the assessment of children/young people with social communication difficulties and autistic spectrum conditions and I currently work as part of a multidisciplinary diagnostic assessment team within the NHS.

I have a particular passion for coaching and training education practitioners to meet the needs of pupils with SLCN in their settings and have considerable experience in devising and delivering a range of bespoke workshops and accredited training courses.

I decided to train as a Homeopath 18 years ago then as a Health and well being Practitioner, Therapist after sadly losing my Brother who did not have early intervention or the help he required for his chronic mental health and did not have the correct diagnosis.

My ethos is to give back and I am passionate about helping people to make a difference to their lives

Denise Quigley

Anxhela Gjeta

Assistant Clinical Psychologist

Hi, my name is Anxhela (pronounced as Angela). I am 26 years old and have just recently graduated with a Master's degree in Clinical psychology from the university of Kingston. I also hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have experience working with children and young people as a Play therapist and as a Club Leader. Creating a world where mental health stigma is not around is something I aspire to work towards and where mental health is accessible to everyone and I mean everyone! As we are seeing a huge rise in mental health issues (in particular during Covid) for many many reasons such as social media, society and education ( just to mention a few). I want to be able to offer my skills, understanding and a listening ear to those that are struggling and need someone to talk to. I believe that early intervention is key to mental health issues that we face. The younger we receive education on how to express and deal with our feelings, the better the outcome. It’s really important that we speak to people that we believe we can relate to and can to an extent understand the many struggles we go through in life. I have always wanted to know how our early experiences shape us into the people we become as adults and how can we break the cycle and develop a healthy mental well-being and how to maintain this. I believe (supported by much research in the area) that early intervention is key in managing and preventing many mental disorders such as anxiety and depression. as the number of individuals with mental health disorders increases, it is more effective that we provide early education and intervention and normalise the idea that seeking professional help is necessary. removing the stigma on mental health is something I am really passionate on working in.

Anxhela Gjeta

Volunteer Manager

I was first introduced to Great Minds Together by school as my child has Autism/SEMH needs.

Working closely with them on a first hand basis I was glad for all their support in helping me with my daughter's EHCP and directions moving forward. Like myself they have always put the child’s welfare first and supported my family without putting funding first. Having a child with complex needs I have learnt a lot through the years, especially surrounding the lack of support from resources currently in place.

Having NHS training and seeing first hand who Great Minds Together were and how much things needed to change to help SEND/SEMH, I decided to volunteer. I want to be part of a team who are initiating change to support all children and families in the position I used to find myself in.

I am very proud to be a part of the Great Minds team.

Gail Stanley

Claire Pardoe

Prevention - Life Skills Manager

Hi my name is Gail,. Currently I manage one of the Great Minds Together Prevention- Life Skills programmes within a school, a role which I am very passionate about.

I run the Life Skills Curriculum through daily after school sessions at our central hub, and support with training of other staff and volunteers.

Our curriculum centres around social and emotional wellbeing and as a mother and grandmother I can empathise with parents and understand each child’s needs. The child always comes first, so I ensure that all of my sessions provide a nurturing and compassionate environment for the children to learn and thrive in an individualised way.

I was an accredited childminder for many years, offering government funded care and have kept up to date with first aid and safeguarding training. I attend regular forums to update and improve my knowledge continually. I also run the Great Minds Together holiday club where the children excelled in learning a range of Life Skills.

Working together is the key and this is what Great Minds Together is all about and I am proud to be part of the excellent team.

Claire Pardoe

Mentor

Hi, my name is Claire and I am a Mentor at Great Minds Together. My background is in health and social care and I feel passionate about young people being supported to achieve their true potential.
I have been working with a number of students of the past year on targeted intervention and Growth Mindset programs. Every student I work with is now in full-time education, and when our programs initially began they were all out of education for one reason or another. Having seen the difference the Great Minds programme makes for young people first hand, I could not be prouder working for this organisation. It is the most rewarding job I have ever had.

Dominic Bell

Shay Chambers-Humphreys

Following experience of working with mental health and wellbeing complexities, I completed an MSc in Sport, Physical Activity and Mental Health to specialise on the emotional wellbeing of individuals.

Sport and physical activity has the potential to be used not only as effective treatment to mental health problems but also act as a preventative tool.

The role of sport and physical activity extend beyond just psychological and biological benefits, but also social benefits that those with mental health needs could potentially struggle with.

My passion for Sport, Physical Activity and Mental Health has led me onto a number of mentoring roles and I love to work closely with families and individuals to create opportunities and provide emotional support whilst promoting overall wellbeing.

Shay Chambers-Humphreys

My name is shay. I have been working with young people and children for about 6 years.

I enjoy working and supporting young people and children by just being there for them when they need someone to talk to.

I also have experience working with children with SEND, specifically speech delay and autism.

I have had training in understanding autism as well as completing a mental health awareness course.

I enjoy being able to volunteer and giving something back to society.

In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym and going out with friends and family.

Corinne Hardman

Shay Chambers-Humphreys

Corinne Hardman

I am a psychodynamic art psychotherapist and fully accredited member of the HCPC (Health and Care professional’s council).

I am also a member of BAAT, the British Association of Art Therapists.

Most of my experience is working with children with a wide range of challenges. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as its primary mode of expression and communication.

Art materials are used as a medium to address emotional issues which may be confusing and distressing. Art therapy is not a recreational activity or an art lesson, although the sessions can be enjoyable.

Clients do not need to have any previous experience or expertise in art.

I am currently mentoring university students, supporting them both practically and emotionally. I am passionate about everything creative, be it baking, gardening or painting.

Maryam Javed

Christiana Gianni

Maryam Javed

Hi I am Maryam. I recently graduated with a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Newcastle University following my Bachelors in Counselling Psychology.

Having worked with individuals with special needs for the last five years, I have learned that supporting such individuals is only successful when the care is person centred (the person is involved in their care), evidence-based, and involves support to their families.

I have worked with both children and adults with a variety of needs including Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, and other mental health difficulties including depression and anxiety alongside Clinical Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, Social Workers, and Occupational Therapists.

My most recent role at Victim Support involved providing emotional and practical support to victims of crime, and therefore, I am aware of resources that might be helpful to you and your child.

I like to believe that I am a bubbly, creative, approachable, and positive individual. While I enjoy painting, knitting, and gardening (the quarantine this year really helped me pick up these hobbies), I also enjoy watching movies, and following football games and Formula1 races.

I can speak four languages: English, Hindi, Urdu, and intermediate Arabic.

I am interested in supporting SEMH and SEND individuals and their families both by helping develop core skills, but also through providing practical support.

The recent COVID-19 situation has been difficult for everyone and given my vast experience working within mental health populations, I am well-equipped to support in any way that I can.

I enjoy the opportunity to learn about the children, answer their questions, address their concerns and share in their accomplishments. My hobbies include reading and journaling. I love to read all genres of books and science is my favourite topic. Journaling allows the time to self-reflect and focus on myself, whilst reading helps to enhance my knowledge. I hope to be able to provide a source of comfort and support to the young people registered with Great Minds Together.

Mahwish Saleem

John Livingstone

Hi I am Mahwish Saleem.

I am an ambitious psychology graduate motivated to make a difference in peoples’ lives by understanding and listening to their experiences and helping them through their darkest moments and promoting positive mental health. My professional experience as a teaching assistant has interested me further in mental health. Having the opportunity to witness and support young children suffering from mental health disorders such as anxiety, at such a young age, with little knowledge on how to manage their emotions and feelings, has impacted me emotionally. It has also made me conscious about experiencing the joyful and positive moments when they feel they are protected and happy. Observing this has motivated me to become an intervention mentor with Great minds together in order to positively support children and families with interventions and resources specifically tailored to them. Additionally, I have worked for the University of Oxford as a research assistant. In my free time, I like to draw bespoke patterns as a professional henna artist for clients on their big day and I can speak three languages English, Urdu and Punjabi.

Hayley Day

Alice Moore

Hey, I’m Hayley. I am a mum of two children (11 and 14yrs) both with additional needs (autism and ADHD). I have been through the whole process of waiting list, speech and language, CAMHS, EHCP meeting and having to push for the right education/environment for my children who are both the complete opposites of each other (just to make life easier).

I struggled a lot in high school and came away with no qualifications and feeling very deflated by the whole experience, developing anxiety and depression. I had to start from the beginning but have recently completed a degree and have been accepted onto a master’s in clinical counselling.

I love animals and have a cat (Pikachu) and a border collie (Willow), I like watching anime, horror movies, video games and reading. I am very calm, relaxed and a great listener.
