About Thrive Therapy
Therapy with an experienced counsellor; helping you to feel better about yourself, your life and relationships.
Hi, I’m Angela, a certified, dedicated counsellor with 14 years of experience. Over the years, people have trusted me to share their concerns, frustrations, life experiences, and their deepest hopes for the future.
I understand how life’s worries, setbacks, and struggles can weigh on your sense of self and well-being, leaving you feeling like you’re just surviving instead of thriving.
But you don't have to work through it all by yourself.
I’m trained to help you make sense of what’s going on, and together we’ll find the best next step forward, one that brings more happiness and balance into your life.
Each session is a step away from what you no longer want in your life and towards what you do want more of.
For some, sessions are a place to offload their everyday worries and frustrations to an impartial, non-judgmental person. Leaving them to feel lighter, as if a weight has been lifted. To finally be seen, heard, and most importantly, understood.
For others, they want to see a change and growth in their life. They've had enough of the autopilot, the same old mental chatter, bad habits and relationships, and are ready for something different. To upgrade to a newer, more exciting version of themselves, that they know is waiting to emerge.
No problem is too big or too small; if something is affecting your peace of mind or bothering you, it matters, and it's worth reaching out.
I will bring my wealth of knowledge about human behaviour and how the mind works to help you understand what's going on and how to move forward. After working with 100s of clients, there's not much I haven't heard in the therapy room.
My approach is forward-looking, focusing on your strengths, personal qualities, and the possibilities ahead, rather than dwelling on problems. Instead of digging into the past, we’ll work together to identify small, practical steps that move you towards the lifestyle that you want to live.
When clients leave appointments, they notice their mental clutter clearing, renewed motivation to make healthier choices, and more confidence to set boundaries.
Sessions are tailored to your unique needs and life situation, whether you're looking to feel more at ease at home, more fulfilled at work, or more connected in your relationships, positive change is possible.
You don’t need all the answers, just a willingness to start.
When you're ready to take the next step, I'd love to hear from you.

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.
What past clients are saying:
-

“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.”
