Mr Angelo - Valente Coaching
Registered Professional Counselor
“Therapy has become very clinical in the pathological world we live in. I focus on ways to make ethical, value-based choices that help you build a purposeful, meaningful life. I use an Existentialist approach, and my methods use Self Determination Theory & lessons from aviation psychology to lift you up!”
About Me
I understand therapy can sometimes feel overly clinical. My approach helps you cultivate a purposeful, meaningful life, moving beyond pathology. We’ll explore ethical, value-based choices, drawing on an Existentialist approach and Self-Determination Theory. Practical lessons from aviation psychology also help you navigate complexities. This unique blend supports those seeking clarity and direction, helping you find your authentic path forward.
Approach
Building on the focus on values and ethical living, sessions move with practical, often kinetic pacing—short-check ins, focused reflections, and concrete experiments you can try between meetings. From my base in Sundsvall I work in English and online, creating a predictable, calm structure that borrows safety-minded lessons from aviation to reduce overwhelm and sharpen decision-making. We tune toward autonomy, competence and connection so you feel more grounded in choices about body, identity and transitions. People seeking clearer direction and steadier action often find this helpful.
