Dee – formerly Panic in Intimate Situations, Edgeware

I knew that I was doing something wrong. I just couldn’t quite figure out what it was.

Everyone gets into bad thinking habits & these need challenging occasionally. The difference with Tania is that she does it with such humour & humanity that I could instantly relate to her & what she was saying. I quite literally laughed my way through some of the sessions! & I really needed that perspective. & I believe that you learn more when you are enjoying yourself.

Now i’m much more aware of my limiting thinking styles & can therefore do something about them. & I also have the book to dip into if I ever start slipping into bad habits again, so it’s like having help whenever you need it.

I was feeling down but could not really understand what was keeping me that way as I consider myself a positive, bubbly and caring person. I visited Tania and explained that I had thought and thought about my low mood but could not understand why I wasn’t cheery like when I was at University having fun and being ‘me.’

Tania helped me to understand how I was creating and reinforcing my own low mood which was negatively affecting my self-esteem.

I was so amazed to discover that I can directly influence my own self-esteem and brooding and pondering my low mood was only making me feel worse. I can now understand my own thinking (including social anxiety and external locus of control) and feel so much more positive about life and don’t feel that I will ever go back to that sorry state I was creating for myself. I had studied self-esteem before but Thrive gives you the power to influence your own self-esteem and understand yourself so much more clearly. They do say that life begins at 40!

Victoria – formerly Anxiety, Harefield

I had worked through the Thrive book quite a lot but found that I had slipped back into some very unhelpful thinking styles, creating a lot of negativity and anxiety, and couldn’t seem to give myself the perspective that I needed to. I saw Tania for a session and she very gently helped me see why I did this and gain some perspective. Her approach is one which gently guides you to find the conclusions you need to and make the change for you. Seeing a Thrive consultant for me was eye opening. Sometimes, due to confirmation bias, we cannot see certain patterns in our thinking that are unhelpful. Tania has an ability to listen and yet push you to think for yourself in a very relaxed environment. I recommend her skills to anyone who has any limiting beliefs and wants to bring their Thrive book to life.
