WELLBEING
We offer Wellbeing services for musicians, producers, and professionals who are building careers in the industry. We would love the opportunity to walk alongside you and help you navigate your journey, and believe that no career should come at the expense of your wellbeing. We offer in-house support; and also lead an industry wellbeing collective that includes therapists, counsellors, and industry mentors; enabling us to provide referrals as they’re needed.
what we offer
1. Wellbeing catchups
This is the first port of call - pastoral care and support through low pressure, meaningful conversation, often over a coffee in an informal setting.
2. Professional Supervision
This is a more formal and structured approach - reflection and problem solving, professional growth and accountability, self care, and developing a healthy approach to your career. It’s most effective meeting every 4-6 weeks on a regular basis.
3. Referrals
We can connect you to specialist support with trusted therapists, psychologists, and other bespoke service providers. At times, Parachute may be able to assist in covering the cost of these sessions. Please note: we do not offer advice in regards to your music, but we can connect you with reputable music industry experts.

If you would like a more formal and structured meeting every 4-6 weeks, then supervision might be the thing for you. This gives us more time to explore work challenges by talking about specific topics at each session eg: goal setting, client struggles, managing conflict, financial stress, etc.

Our primary goal is to provide you with support and care as you take on this career. We are not here to give you critique on your songs or guarantee you success - just to walk alongside you.
We can help link you to professionals in the music industry who might be able to help you for music advice.
