thrive for parents
Family & Parent Counselling
Thrive Parent Counselling is a fresh approach to family counselling, equipping families with a capacity for change, renewal, and vision. We believe, “What you pay attention to grows!”
I have never gotten anything out of reading books. Any family counseling I have had, did not focus on me, just the issues. Ellen is a very kind and caring person, and being with her was very comfortable, soothing and relaxing. She made me realize my own self value and the good qualities of my family members, which you never really stop to think about. Ellen opened my eyes to things I had not really thought about. She asks hard thought provoking questions. Ellen provides tools and strategies to help. . It was rewarding to see the progress and process from start to finish.

educational counselling
Private Educational Guidance Counselling
Our educational guidance program offers a “private guidance counsellor” for students and young adults. Our coach provides the tools needed for students and parents to make confident decisions about the future.
Sometimes we find ourselves in an uncertain place and need to reach out for help….
- Are you feeling family or life challenges are becoming overwhelming?
- Are you uncertain about which way to turn or what you “should” do?
- Is your child is struggling with anxiety and you don’t know how to help?
- Is everything you say met with resistance and strife?
- Are you not feeling proud of your parenting?
Thrive for Change offers individual counselling, family counselling, child and adolescent counselling to move you from surviving to thriving.
