About

I’m Bella, an occupational therapist, chronic overthinker and recovering perfectionist. I’ve spent more than a decade working in mental health.

I’ve learned so many genuinely helpful skills over the years, but the resources explaining them were too clinical, overwhelming or painfully boring. Mental health is hard enough. Learning to manage it shouldn’t feel like homework. I couldn’t find the thing I was looking for, so I made it myself.

I took the skills that have helped both me and the people I’ve worked with and brought them out of the therapy room into real life. Practical, evidence-based and easy to understand, with enough colour and humour that you might actually want to pick it up.

NOT FINE won’t fix everything. But it’ll help you understand your brain, find something to try and feel a little more equipped when things get hard.
