Find clarity, confidence, and direction.
Life coaching and mentoring to help you overcome challenges, discover your strengths, and create a life you love..
Sometimes we lose confidence.
Sometimes we’re navigating change we didn’t choose.
Sometimes we simply need someone who will listen without judgement and help us find a way forward.
Whether you’re a young person finding your place, a parent supporting someone you love,
or an adult navigating life’s transitions, ThriveSpace offers practical coaching, genuine
understanding, and a supportive space to build confidence, resilience and clarity for whatever comes next.
Who I Help.
Everyone's journey is different.
That's why coaching isn't one-size-fits-all.
Whether you're finding your direction, navigating change, or supporting someone you care about, ThriveSpace provides a calm, supportive space where you can reflect, gain perspective and move forward with greater confidence.
-
Finding confidence. Direction. A sense of who you are.
The transition into adulthood can be exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. Together we'll explore confidence, identity, relationships, study, career choices and whatever else life is throwing your way.
Being a teenager or young adult has never been simple. There can be pressure to know who you are, what you want to do, where you're heading and how you're meant to fit in—all while navigating friendships, relationships, family expectations, social media and the transition into adulthood.Some young people know exactly where they're going.
Many don't.
That's completely okay.
ThriveSpace provides a supportive space to slow down, think clearly and explore what's important to you—without judgement or pressure.

MY APPROACH
I don't believe there is one "right" pathway through life.
My role isn't to tell you what you should do.
It's to help you better understand yourself, discover your strengths and make decisions that feel authentic to who you are.
I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected and supported as you navigate this important stage of life.
-
Because it's never too late to begin again.
Whether you're experiencing separation, career change, health challenges, grief, retirement or simply wondering what's next, coaching offers space to pause, reflect and move forward with purpose.
-
Supporting you as you support them.
Watching your child struggle can feel incredibly lonely. Together we'll explore practical ways to strengthen connection, understand what's happening beneath the surface and build resilience within your family.
Who I Am:
Hi, I'm Anna.
For more than thirty-five years I've worked in leadership, mentoring and people development across New Zealand and overseas.
Life has also taken me through experiences I never expected. As a child, I spent many of my early years in hospital. Later came a cancer journey, divorce, career reinvention and raising three wonderful children into adulthood.
Those experiences didn't define me, but they shaped the way I understand resilience, relationships and the importance of feeling genuinely supported during life's hardest moments.
MY APPROACH
I don't believe people need fixing.
I believe people already possess strengths, resilience and potential -sometimes life's challenges simply make those qualities harder to see.
My role isn't to tell you what to do.
It's to ask thoughtful questions, offer practical support and create a safe, respectful space where you can explore what's important to you.
Together we'll work towards greater confidence, clearer direction and meaningful change that feels authentic to who you are.

Client Reviews
Working with Anna has been an invaluable part of helping me define my dreams and shape my goals. She was like a Google Map for my brain, allowing me to put in a destination and allowing redirection and providing support until I got there. Her quiet confidence made me feel safe and cared for throughout the whole process.
- Kathi
Anna has been an incredible support, it's been so valuable to chat with her, explore different options, gain answers to questions I wouldn't have thought to ask, and i find myself leaving every conversation feeling more confident and understood.
- Ella
I was super lucky to be introduced to Anna and given the opportunity for some life coaching! I was really needing some guidance with direction and focus. Anna was incredible. She has a real knack for being able to get you to think deeply and create achievable and exciting goals… very grateful for Anna.
