Finding meaning, peace and connection in the harder parts of being human.
I’m Angelina, a writer and therapist exploring what helps us live well when life gets difficult.
For more than a decade, I’ve supported people through some of the hardest seasons of their lives, working across crisis services, palliative care, children’s charities and private practice.
But my understanding of mental health hasn’t come from professional experience alone.
I know what it is to live with anxiety and mental illness. To lose trust in yourself. To discover that sometimes the things we most want to escape can also teach us something about who we are, what matters and how we want to live.
My work sits at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, lived experience and therapeutic practice.
Difficult experiences do not have to be the end of the story.
What can we understand about ourselves through the difficult times? How do we find meaning without denying pain? How do we cultivate peace when life itself is uncertain?
How do we recognise the strength we already possess? And how might remembering our connection to something beyond ourselves make the difficult things a little easier to carry?
Through writing, courses and therapeutic insight, I explore anxiety, identity, belonging, suffering, resilience, ageing, meaning, inner peace and connection.
Sometimes that means offering practical tools.
Perhaps questioning an idea we’ve been taught to believe.
And sometimes it simply means putting words around an experience you thought was yours alone.
