There was a time where I had a personal vendetta about talking through my problems; I didnโ€™t feel like the adults around me got it, and the thought of trying to explain out loud? Immediate No.

๐— ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฐ became one of my main outlets.
And it turns out, research backs up what many of us already knew: music can be a powerful mental health tool, especially for rangatahi who struggle to name or share what theyโ€™re feeling and/or don't feel secure enough to share:

๐ŸŽง It lowers anxiety and heart rate
๐ŸŽง Regulates mood & emotion
๐ŸŽง Helps you feel seen and connected
๐ŸŽง And gives language to things that feel too big or blurry to put into words

Itโ€™s safe. Familiar. And it doesnโ€™t ask you to be anything but in it.
While music isnโ€™t a fix-all (and shouldnโ€™t be the only tool in your kete), it is a really valid and useful one - especially when things feel overwhelming, having some form of safe expressive tool is an absolute must.

Iโ€™ve got a sabbatical coming up in the near future and it will be a little messy, which means Iโ€™m not taking on any new long-term clients right now, and why our waitlist is still closed.

If I canโ€™t offer consistent care, I wonโ€™t take someone on. Thatโ€™s just how I roll, if you've interacted with me ya know how a**l I am about ethical safety ๐Ÿ™Š

If you're on my list, please make sure youโ€™re also on another. I canโ€™t promise timelines, and Iโ€™d genuinely hate for you to be holding out on just me โ€“ especially if things are escalating!! It also stresses me tf out ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Totally appreciate the patience โ€“ I know itโ€™s hard to wait when youโ€™re not feeling 100%. So please know weโ€™re doing what we can behind the scenes to support all our clients the best we can.

๐Ÿ“Still need awhi in the meantime?
Our tinana & wairua teams are still going strong โ€“ osteopathy, acupuncture & Mirimiri are all available to help you feel more at ease while you wait.

I have wayyyy to many referrals then I can manage (I'm talking a minimum of 4 per week come through privately alone) & hoping to share these with another Counsellor in our clinic Haerenga Hauora

Either room rental or a waged position available, so please get in contact if this has piqued your interest or share around if you know someone who might be keen ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ

It takes less than 20 seconds - but it makes a big difference to a small, local clinic like ours ๐Ÿ’ž

We hear from so many of you in person: โ€œI saw your post!โ€ But if no one engages, Facebook hides it not only from your feed, but from the rest of our community too.

If you love what we do, flick us a ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ or say hey.
Every little bit of awhi helps keep our clinic doors open ๐Ÿซถ

Thanks for keeping it local, Whangฤrei ๐Ÿซถ

Here are some of my go-to study tips as a Grade baby who loves to procrastinate & use to crash out about exams ๐Ÿ’–

If youโ€™re feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or donโ€™t even know where to start, then start with one of these techniques (or use them in chronological order).
