Our Vision
To create a trusted, accessible and empowering online wellbeing community where individuals can heal, grow and thrive through life's challenges — reaching adults across the UK, Ghana, the African diaspora and beyond.
Our scope of practice
Being clear about what we do — and what we don't — is part of keeping you safe.
What ThrivSphere is
- A non-clinical wellbeing, education and support service
- Emotional wellbeing support, coaching and mindfulness
- Education on resilience, healthy relationships and self-care
- A confidential space to talk things through without judgement
- Signposting to the right specialist service when you need one
What ThrivSphere is not
- An emergency, crisis or out-of-hours service
- A clinical or medical service — we do not assess, diagnose or treat

- A counselling, psychotherapy or psychiatric service
- A provider of legal advice or fitness-for-work assessments
If your needs fall outside what we offer, we will say so and help you find the right support. See where else you can turn.
Who runs ThrivSphere
ThrivSphere is founded and delivered by experienced professionals with backgrounds in mental health and wellbeing.

ThrivSphere Wellbeing CIC was founded by Patience Barning T, a Registered Mental Health Nurse and Specialist Community Public Health / Occupational Health Nurse with a deep commitment to emotional, mental and social wellbeing.
Drawing on years of professional and community experience, Patience created ThrivSphere as a safe, confidential and compassionate online space where adults can access wellbeing education, one-to-one support, coaching, mindfulness and peer connection — regardless of where they are.
ThrivSphere is a non-clinical service. It offers professional wellbeing support, education and signposting informed by extensive mental health experience — it does not provide clinical assessment, diagnosis or treatment.
The vision is simple and powerful: that every adult navigating emotional distress, difficult relationships, isolation or life change can find a place to heal, grow and thrive.
