The first stage of the Posa Consulting process for all our clients is a 20 minutes video meeting with our Director, free of charge. This will allow us to get a sense of your priorities, needs, and the aspirations.

Following your 20-minute consultation, we will send you a bespoke proposal containing a selection of service options we offer to achieve your individual outcomes. From this proposal you will be able to select any services you wish to take up with POSA Consulting

As soon as we have agreed your bespoke selection of services, we will immediately set the proposal in motion, keeping in constant contact with you until we have successfully achieved your aims.
We know that navigating family, school, and wellbeing challenges can feel overwhelming, which is why our support is designed to bring clarity, comfort, and confidence to every step!
Our family has moved back to Dubai after a number of years in the U.S. and the switching of mindsets and curricula has been challenging. Mary Rose brought clarity, compassion and structure to the process which has enabled us to create a landscape which supports academic success alongside emotional balance. She helped me unpick each issue calmly and with common sense and alleviated my panic moments with her calmness and good humour. Her knowledge of the educational landscape is immense but more important than that, she decoded the children to ensure they are getting what they need to ensure secure and healthy transitions
Komodo has worked with Mary Rose both during her time as Head of Secondary at The Aquila School and now in her role as Head of POSA Consulting. Mary Rose’s passion for wellbeing is second to none, and her extensive experience in school environments ensures that she provides a wealth of knowledge and practical insights. We were lucky to have Mary Rose speak at one of our recent events. Her session was spectacular and packed with valuable learnings for the attending educators. If you need support on your wellbeing journey, you won’t find a better champion than Mary Rose.
Mary Rose came into our lives whilst my son was in severe autistic burnout. She met him with compassion, understanding and empathy. She did not come in with her own agenda but met my son where he was and saw the positives and possibilities within him. She didn’t just pay lip service to him, she listened, really listened to what he said and perhaps more importantly what he didn’t say. My son’s mental wellbeing has improved greatly since he has been spending time with Mary Rose and that has had a huge impact on his ability to engage once more with his learning. We could not recommend Mary Rose enough and are truly thankful for the positive impact she has had on my son and consequently as a family as a whole.
It has been a pleasure to work with Mary Rose Connolly of POSA Consulting when she introduced a prospective pupil to us recently. We are grateful for the time she has taken to get to know our school, our values and ethos so that she could effectively advocate on our behalf, as well as her superb efficiency and the ease of communication. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Having spent all my life in Dubai while bringing up our two teenagers with my wife, the least to be said is how challenging it can be to balance our kid’s educational needs with their childhood ones. Since Mary Rose was introduced to us and began working with both kids, my wife and I instantly started feeling the shift. Her well balanced professional and caring approach gave us a sense of comfort that our kids are in good hands academically here at home. My wife and I could now focus on our kids from a more healthier family approach without the need to panic about their academics here at home. The comfort that she can assist them on multiple subjects makes it even better and easier. We would definitely recommend her to our closet family and friends.
