The Thrive Approach to Counselling
Discover a Healthier, Happier You Through Tailored Guidance, Support, and Empowerment
About Thrive Therapy
Talking things through is a natural and healthy way to support yourself. Reaching out means you’re ready to prioritise your wellbeing, and that’s something to be proud of.
At its heart, therapy is a conversation focused entirely on you, your needs, hopes, and what you want to change. Whether you’re looking for more calm, confidence, clarity, or connection, I’m here to help you.
You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what’s wrong, only that something isn’t quite right. I’ll listen carefully and without judgment, working to understand things from your perspective.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my gentle but insightful approach and that they feel truly heard. I aim to help you feel better about yourself, your life, and your relationships, in as few sessions as possible.
There’s very little I haven’t heard in the therapy room. It can be a relief to talk to someone impartial, not offering advice or quick fixes, but trained to help you make sense of things, at your own pace.
It’s absolutely okay not to know where to start. That’s often part of the process. Together, we’ll explore what’s on your mind, make sense of your experiences, and begin to move forward.
Each session is a step toward the version of yourself you’re meant to be. You may leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more at ease, like a weight has lifted.
Clients often notice mental clutter giving way to calm, a renewed motivation to make healthy choices, and greater confidence to set boundaries that protect their time, energy, and peace of mind.
Many describe a clearer sense of direction and a deeper connection to what brings happiness and fulfilment.
Sessions go entirely at your pace. I’ll never push you to share more than you’re ready to. As a solution-focused therapist, I believe the choices we make now shape the future we want to create.
Change can feel daunting, especially when the unknown feels harder than staying the same. But the right support can make it less overwhelming. Often, clients tell me they wish they’d started sooner.
Whether you're struggling at home, in relationships, at work or socially, I offer short- and long-term therapy with flexible appointments, ideal if you’re juggling shifts, family life, or travel.
No issue is too big or too small. If something is affecting your peace of mind, that’s reason enough to reach out. And the earlier we start, the easier it can be to smooth the road ahead.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to hear from you.
You don’t need all the answers, just a willingness to start. Get in touch to ask questions, book a session, or explore if therapy with me feels like the right fit.

How I Can Help
Many people know what they don’t want in life, but struggle to identify what they do want instead. Therapy helps you uncover this clarity and work towards meaningful change.
Here are some things you may want to release:
Rigid life rules that leave you feeling trapped.
Outdated behaviours that no longer align with who you want to be.
Negative self-talk that undermines your confidence.
Fear-driven decisions that hold you back.
Unrealistic expectations and perfectionism that sabotage and add more pressure.
Together, we’ll uncover the root of your challenges, understand their impact on your work, home life, and relationships, and identify your next steps toward a happier, healthier lifestyle that supports and empowers you in every aspect.
My Approach To Helping
I draw on a variety of evidence-based approaches designed and proven to helpwith specific problems, including:
Psychotherapeutic counselling
Cognitive Behaviour Techniques (CBT-inspired)
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Relationship-focused strategies
Hypnotherapy to harness your potential
Personal development and growth coaching
Each session is tailored to your unique goals and vision for the future.
You will become increasingly self-aware of how your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationships can negatively influence your life and overall well-being without you even realising it, and figure out the next positive steps forward, finding the right solution that works for you.

“If it wasn’t for you I would have had a melt down by now. I don’t think I would have coped otherwise. Thank you for being there for me.”
