Lena Aldridge
Founder, DBT-informed guide
Lena built Solenne around the belief that growth should feel like a slow morning, not a sprint.
Our story
A studio shaped like a slow morning.
We started Solenne on a simple belief: emotional growth should feel composed and hopeful, never hurried. Everything we make is meant to genuinely help.
Why we exist
Healing work too often arrives loud and rushed. We wanted the opposite: a quiet, trust-first place where mindful practice, DBT-informed skills, and trauma-informed care could unfold at a human pace.
So Solenne is built like a journal you actually want to return to. Warm structure, a single cool breath of growth, and never a locked door between you and the next page.
We are small on purpose. Fewer voices, more care.
What we hold to
01
Steadiness
We move at a pace that stays kind. No locked overlays, no rush toward a finish line you did not set.
02
Honesty
Plain language, the point up front. We would rather be clear than impressive.
03
Safety
Trauma-informed by default. Consent guides every step, and you can always step back.
04
Care
If a practice does not genuinely help you, we do not keep it. Usefulness over polish, always.
The people behind it
A small team that would rather know you than scale you.
Caspian Roe

Naomi Brandt
