Counsellor and Hypnotherapist profile picture

Hi, I’m Angela! I’m passionate about helping people not just survive life’s twists and turns, but genuinely thrive. I believe everyone has the potential to create a meaningful, fulfilling life, no matter where they’re starting from.

I founded Thrive Therapy in 2012, a cosy private counselling practice in Burton-on-Trent (and online, wherever you are). I support people through all sorts of challenges, from low self-esteem, confidence struggles, stress, anxiety, and difficult relationships, to phobias, chronic illness, and IBS, just to name a few.

Clients often tell me they love my calming, warm, and empathetic approach. They appreciate my knack for offering fresh perspectives, keeping things positive and encouraging, and helping them feel more confident and hopeful about the future.

To me, thriving isn’t just about overcoming obstacles; it’s about embracing life, discovering your strengths, and finding joy in the journey. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore what’s holding you back, come up with practical strategies for growth, and reconnect with your ability to flourish.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a fresh start, I’d be thrilled to support you on your path.
