INTRODUCING

Thriving Therapist & THRIVING OT

(1 to 1 and Group Supervision, or Coaching, & a Connected Community Group - that is Trauma Informed)

Video Poster Image

1 to 1, or group Supervision / Coaching, with a bonus connected community, where you'll learn how to move from being overwhelmed, stuck, or surviving, to truly thriving in your life and work

Your Thriving journey can start as individual supervision or coaching, or via joining one of the Thriving OT Group Supervision monthly sessions, both supported by a connected Thriving OT community, or 'dip your toes' into the online Thriving OT Community group first, connect with OT again and other amazing OT's.
Designed specifically for OTs who might be practising solo or feel less connected, want to love OT again, improve their knowledge and practice, or who might be feeling overwhelmed, too busy, and want to get 'unstuck'. By connecting with other OT's, resourced by an expert OT (like Kristen - that's me) with lived & living experience, we can support and guide You AND the clients you work with, all whilst re-connecting with your 'why' and your 'joy', in turn preventing & addressing burnout & vicarious trauma.

 

I'M READY!

How is Thriving Supervision or Coaching different? 

 

We start with you & Your Business...

  • Clarity & Self-awareness: How are you and your business really doing? Where would you like to be? If you could 'wave a magic wand' what would your business look like, what are your desired work hours, whom are you working with?
  • Sustainability & Self-care: Building sustainable practice foundations using evidence-based compassion & trauma-informed techniques (that you can also model and teach to clients). 
  • Self-practice: OT Yourself!...because you're great at helping others. Learn to treat yourself as a valued employee. 
  • Bonus: Live group coaching; a Thriving Community, Downloadable resources and more!  
 

We are Compassionate & Trauma-informed

Embedding compassion, trauma-informed care, healthy boundaries, and sustainable practices into your practice, so you improve or maintain clinical/therapeutic excellence whilst Thriving. 

  • How as a therapist or OT you can implement & sustain Trauma Informed Care (TIC) & Compassionate approaches.
  • How to enhance your therapeutic & practice skills.
  • Supported by online Trauma Informed Supervision or Coaching (Kristen is an invited speaker on Trauma informed supervision & lived experience at the ICTC 2025)
 

We build Connection

Rediscover your purpose, advance your skills & effectiveness and get connected again to your 'why' and to other like-minded therapists.

  • Embedding practical approaches that continue to transform overwhelm into empowerment.
  • Re-connecting & cultivating community with support from an experienced practitioner and fellow therapists.

  • You will learn tow to sustain Thriving when life gets in the way (like me who went from surviving to Thriving during the worst year of my life)
  • You will have a personalised Thriving Therapist sustainability plan that will help you to continue to grow, and to THRIVE!
how can I help you?

Hi, I am so glad you're here,

I'm Kristen Pringle 

I'm a registered occupational therapist, endorsed mental health clinician, trauma informed yoga therapist, mindfulness & self-compassion teacher, university educator, trauma informed supervisor, coach & Mum, with a whole lot of work & lived experience. 

For 15 years I yo-yoed between surviving to thriving, balancing a full professional life, with family & many unexpected events. I collected amazing therapies and skills along the way, learnt directly from leaders in their field, travelled as an OT, all whilst helping fellow professionals & clients. But I was exhausted!

Then I finally got it - No more surviving...'that's not me'...I AM THRIVING! Now I use what I've learned and resource other thriving professionals to help people, just like you, transform into a THRIVING THERAPIST or a THRIVING OT, like me. I'm here to guide you every step of the way to become the happy, Thriving professional you are meant to be!

What makes thriving ot different..

  • Unlike supervision or coaching programs, Thriving OT is here specifically for busy OT's, and welcome therapists, educators and mind-body practitioners. I know that OT's & therapists are busier than ever before and so I offer personalised expert support and sustainable but quick actionable steps that fit into your busy (or burnt out) schedule. 
  • We provide an online community of like-minded professionals for encouragement, resourcing, and motivation, so you don't feel like you're in this alone. We truly want to help you to THRIVE!
  • I walk the walk with you. You benefit from years of experience, and can fast track your own journey to Thriving, rather than getting stuck in a looping cycle of just surviving
  • I teach at University in both undergraduate and Masters of OT Practice programs. I have over 17 years or expert and international training. I am an internationally invited guest speaker, offering up to date evidence based and evidence informed practices & approaches that really work
