Dr Esther Borrett
Brimstone Psychology is home to the RESTA (Resilience Support Teaching Assistant) and RESO (Resilience Support Organisation) programmes award-nominated interventions designed for education
Founded by Dr Esther Borrett, Educational and Child Psychologist, the RESTA team brings together psychologists, educators and resilience specialists who have spent the past five years co-creating practical solutions with colleges and their learners.
Our work is built on participatory research with real students, ensuring that every framework, tool and routine reflects lived experience. The result? Practical, evidence-based models that help colleges move from good intentions to embedded practices in resilience, belonging, attendance, and inclusion.
Today, RESTA and RESO are used across schools, colleges and organisations to improve outcomes for learners and staff, backed by structured training, ongoing supervision, and a growing national network of practitioners.
