Tēnā koutou katoa,

My name is Robby van Dijk, and I am honoured to offer my counseling services through Aoake te Rā to support individuals and whānau affected by suicide. Based in Kamo, Whangarei, I can provide sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdayd and also Saturday mornings.  With extensive experience in the trauma field, including work in addictions, ACC sensitive claims, and specialised training in Havening Techniques, I bring a comprehensive approach to healing. My passion for Havening, a powerful tool for emotional regulation and trauma recovery, has deeply inspired my journey into this mahi. I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing space for those navigating grief and loss, and it is my privilege to support you on this path to healing.

"Ahakoa he iti, he pounamu."
(Although it is small, it is precious like greenstone.)
This metaphor can express the idea that every step in the healing process, no matter how small, is valuable and important.
