About this site
An independent library of self-guided wellbeing practices
The Wellbeing Sessions is a free online library of self-guided wellbeing practices and resource guides for people in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Where this site came from
This site began as the home of a free online wellbeing sessions programme for Aotearoa that started in 2020. That programme has ended. The Wellbeing Sessions is now an independent resource library and is not affiliated with the organisations that ran or funded the original programme.
Today the site keeps the self-guided material that is still useful: written practice outlines and resource guides you can read and follow at home, in your own time.
What this site is not
- Not a crisis service. If you need help now, use the crisis support box on this page.
- Not a health provider. Nothing here is therapy, counselling, or medical advice.
- Not a government site. It is not run by, or affiliated with, any government agency or health provider.
- Not a live service. There are no live sessions, memberships, or sign-ups.
What you will find here
Resource guides
Thirteen plain-language guides with prompts, safety notes, and ideas to try. See the resource guides.
Written for Aotearoa
Where it helps, content uses te reo Māori words and ideas such as te whare tapa whā, and points to services in New Zealand.
How we choose and check content
- Guides are general self-help information. They are not medical or mental health advice.
- Where services are mentioned, we link to recognised New Zealand services and leave their contact details as the services publish them.
- Content is reviewed periodically, and anything out of date is updated or removed.
- Practices are written to be adapted. You can pause, change, or skip any step.
