Hello and welcome to the web site of Thriving Ivy.

My name is Judith Gentry and I work as a development coach and counsellor. I build bespoke programmes for each and every client be it an individual, a couple or a group. The purpose of my work is to help you thrive, and go forward in the direction of your dreams...

Counselling

I offer a confidential counselling service in a relaxed, private environment in Bideford, North Devon. As well as face to face counselling, I am qualified to work online which sometimes works better for those outside the area, unable to make face to face appointments, or who prefer this form of counselling. You can be confident that as a member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) you will be working with an expertly trained and qualified counsellor.

Coaching

I offer bespoke coaching programmes to private clients, independent businesses and sole traders. No two coaching experiences are the same - you may be looking for a professional guide and partner to help you move forward in the directions of your dreams, or you may be looking for support with specific tasks in a business environment for example to improve business performance and/or operational efficiency.

Workshops

I offer workshops and training days for groups, organisations and colleges on personal development themes such as presentation skills, planning for, and coping with change, and counselling related topics. If you need help in putting together an event along these lines, please get in touch

I hope you enjoy browsing the site, reading a sample of testimonials from past clients or dropping in on articles/news. My passion is people potentialisation. I'll help you focus on your personal and professional objectives, map out a route to get there and support you along the journey.
