Thrive Wellness Hub

"'Gamechanging' is how I would describe the support my partner and I have received from Relationship Therapist Tracy Lynch. We linked in with Thrive Wellness Hub five years ago wanting to give the communication skillset within our relationship an intensive 'uplevel' and then build her in alongside us for for yearly check-in sessions (automatically scheduled the week before each anniversary so we would remember was our initial plan). Tracy's straight-but-warm, and trauma-informed approach meant we felt space was really safely held for us to initially work through the Gottman Institute evidence-based program called 'The Sound Relationship House' (it included us leaving with useful resources to refer back to).... and again when we have returned for our annual grease and oil change sessions. She isn't a magician. Her hourly rate would be much higher if that was the case. If you are willing to step up to the work it takes to vulnerably consider your own involvement in your relationship trickybits then I highly recommend Tracy to be who you enlist to hold space and facilitate the conversations and learning around that. ❤ Highly recommend ❤"

"My husband and I worked with Gabrielle for 12 months and I can honestly say that without her, we would have gone our separate ways. She helped us understand how the other person was feeling/behaving and why. If we didn't understand what was happening, she was able to put things into terms that we could understand! Right from the start she was a great comfort, very calm, understanding and reassuring - we were finally not alone in our battle. We both loved each other but knew that was no longer enough. Gabrielle showed us that there was far more than we could see and we finally saw light, where there had been so much darkness. We now know that marriages are hard work but with compassion anything is possible. I have seen a couple of counsellors in the past and Gabrielle's guidance, methods and exercises are second to none! I honestly can not recommend Gabrielle enough, she saved our marriage and our family from falling apart. Thanks Gab :)"

"I found Gabrielle to be compassionate, level-headed and passionate about her work with couples. I particularly gained great knowledge and appreciation from attending the practice group Gabrielle facilitated based on Non-Violent Communication Skills by Dr Marshall Rosenberg. As daunting as it was to be in a room with other couples, it was, in fact much more beneficial working with others who are experiencing the same heart-ache and heart-break as you. I came across Garbrielle’s services approximately 3 years ago when my marriage had well and truly been through some tough times. This was the beginning of my couples counselling journey and so I didn’t really know what to expect, but I naively hoped that Gabrielle would have the magic answer. It, of course, wasn’t that simple. Especially when you leave your combined issues to fester over a number of years-time, patience, openness, understanding and a whole lot of love is well and truly required. Therefore I also found valuable the extracts of information and research Gabrielle provided me for further reading in order to understand myself on a deeper emotional and intellectual level. Consequently despite my time with Gabrielle ending, this experience has further enhanced my interests in the dynamics of couples and personal growth and I continue to pursue various avenues to further develop my own self-development. So I can say with certainty that Gabrielle provided the foundation for me to comfortably explore myself and my now ex-husband, and most definitely started the processes in releasing a lot of self-shame that was very well ingrained in me."

"My husband and I saw Gabrielle for counseling services over approximately 6 months. During this time Gabrielle helped us to identify the real source of our marital issues which enabled us to work towards a place of healing, renewed understanding and commitment to our relationship. Gabrielle’s highly professional yet down to earth approach allowed for a truly open and honest forum where we could really face our issues together without fear or judgment and her sound experience and theoretical knowledge really paved the way to resolving our relationship issues. Gabrielle also equipped us with effective tools and strategies for dealing with anxiety and work stresses which were affecting our marriage and we now implement these often. If something didn’t make sense, Gabrielle would always find a way to explain things in a way so we could understand. Her willingness to adopt alternative techniques shows her open and innovative approach in the field of therapy and is a credit to her thriving practice. We are truly grateful for the professional guidance Gabrielle provided in finding our way back to a healthy understanding of our marriage and would highly recommend Gabrielle for anyone needing personal or relationship guidance."

"My husband and I began seeing Gabrielle for pre-marital counselling but it continued beyond our wedding and well into our married life. We had a lot of old habits that were no longer useful to us and, with Gabrielle's help, learned how to recognise those habits before they became destructive. We broke the cycle we were well and truly stuck in. I've recommended Gabrielle to anyone who asks for a relationship counsellor and will continue to do so. I found her to be brutally honest and that helped me work through quite a few issues I wasn't ready to own up to or change. I credit the work we did with Gabrielle as not only marriage saving but life changing. We took the lessons we learned and implemented them into every day, turning once massive issues into a minor discussion. Best of all, we are teaching those lessons to our daughters. It is so gratifying to see the hard work we did manifest itself into a healthy, functional relationship and I urge anyone with issues to face to see Gabrielle."
