Taking the First Step 
Our Story 

Empowered to Thrive Counselling Services was established in 2015 and was born from a deep-rooted passion for healing, storytelling, and community. Our story begins with the founder Jacqueline Davis.  A woman shaped by the vibrant cultural mosaic of Jamaica, where she grew up, surrounded by a rich blend of traditions, music, and beliefs. It was in this diverse environment, that Jacqueline first learned the power of connection through shared stories, multigenerational wisdom, and a collective sense of care. She learned about the transformation power of eternalizing “getting it out” and healing through the power of words.

Jacqueline draws from her rich cultural roots and wisdom passed down by her family to create a space where others feel seen, supported and inspired. Her upbringing now fuels a practice that empowers clients to embrace their own stories and thrive in every season of life.

"The First step towards change is awareness. The second step is acceptance"

How our Therapy works 

Our Approach 

Online therapy is a safe, convenient, and confidential way to access support from the comfort of your own space. All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with internet access. After a free 15-minute consultation, we’ll match you with one of our compassionate, skilled therapists who best fit your needs. Your sessions take place in a secure virtual environment, where you can talk openly and be heard without judgment. It’s therapy that meets you where you are — flexible, accessible, and focused on your healing journey.
