Our Journey Started with a Simple Question
Back in 2019, Sarah Mitchell found herself helping yet another friend navigate through mounting credit card debt. After years working in traditional banking, she kept seeing the same pattern – people getting generic advice that didn't fit their actual lives.
That conversation in a Preston coffee shop sparked something. Why wasn't there a service that actually understood how real families handle money? Not theoretical budgets, but practical solutions for people juggling school fees, unexpected car repairs, and everything in between.
We launched Learnthryvira from our small office on Crookings Lane with a mission that still drives us today: make debt management as personal as your financial situation actually is.
What started as evening consultations around kitchen tables has grown into a comprehensive platform. But we've never forgotten that behind every financial challenge is a real person with real concerns about their future.
We Believe Financial Freedom Shouldn't Feel Impossible
Our mission is straightforward: transform how people think about and manage debt. We're not here to judge past decisions or offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we create personalized pathways that actually work with your income, your family situation, and your goals.
Real-World Strategies
We develop debt management plans based on actual spending patterns, not theoretical budgets. Our strategies account for life's unexpected moments because that's how real families live.
Personal Connection
Every client works with dedicated advisors who understand their specific situation. We believe lasting change comes from genuine relationships, not automated responses.
Transparent Progress
You'll always know exactly where you stand and what comes next. Our tracking tools show clear progress markers, making the journey toward financial stability feel achievable.
