Scope of Practice

So you better understand who I am and how I practice holistic natural healthcare..

I’m not a psychologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist or medical doctor. I’m a naturopath (with postgraduate nutrition qualifications) and trauma-informed facilitator with lived experience and deep compassion.

I support women experiencing PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) using natural medicine, nutrition, nervous-system regulation, Rapid Core Healing, Family Constellations, Kundalini Yoga, Kundalini Meditation, Pranayama, and Yoga Nidra.

I stay firmly within my scope and I’m clear about where my work begins and ends. I am fully qualified and insured for the work I offer. The questions I ask myself are “Is my work safe, effective and legal?” Fortunately, I can answer that with a resounding “Yes”.

What I do

  • Education and support: I teach practical tools that calm the body, steady mood, and support sleep, energy, and focus.

  • Natural therapies: I use nutrition, herbs, and supplements (when indicated), plus gentle mind–body methods that help the nervous system feel safe.

  • Trauma-informed facilitation: I guide structured sessions (RCH, Constellations, Yoga Nidra) designed to reduce charge without re-traumatising.

  • Collaboration: With your consent, I’m happy to coordinate with your GP, psychologist, or psychiatrist so care is joined-up.

What I don’t do

  • No diagnosis of mental-health conditions.

  • No medication management, changes, or advice to stop prescribed treatment.

  • No crisis care. If you’re in acute distress (e.g., suicidal thoughts, recent self-harm, psychosis, unmanaged bipolar disorder), I’ll help you access urgent medical or psychological support and pause our work until you’re safe.

Boundaries and safety

  • Screening before we start to make sure this is appropriate for you.

  • Informed consent in clear language—what we’re doing, why, and possible reactions.

  • Pacing that matches your nervous system; we go only as far as you can stay present.

  • Red-flag referrals when specialist mental-health care is needed.

  • Confidentiality and respectful record-keeping.

What I bring that isn’t in textbooks

I don’t have “standard psychological training,” and I’m open about that. I do bring qualities that many clients say they’ve struggled to find elsewhere:

  • Lived experience. I’ve walked through severe PMDD and the work of healing. I understand the “good week/bad week” cycle not just in theory, but in real life—when home life, deadlines, and emotions all collide.

  • Deep empathy and compassion. You won’t be rushed, minimised, or judged. We move at a pace your body can handle, not a timetable on paper.

  • Capacity to hold space. My role is to help you feel safe, seen, and grounded while your system learns a new response. Sometimes that means silence; sometimes it means a simple cue to breathe.

  • Whole-person understanding. Years in naturopathy and nutrition mean I can also spot the practical things that shift the dial—iron and B12 status, magnesium, sleep timing, blood-sugar balance, gentle movement, light exposure. Body and mind change faster when both are supported.

  • Plain language and practical tools. Five minutes of breathing between meetings, a fifteen-minute Yoga Nidra before bed, a steady breakfast that actually keeps you stable—this is the kind of help that fits a busy day.

  • Respect for your values. If you’re vegan, vegetarian, or plant-rich, your plan will honour that. We aim for “effective and aligned,” not “effective but miserable.”

Whilst my methods may be holistic and not widely endorsed by the medical community, what I prioritise over perceived industry stature, is my ability to provide safe, compassionate and effective support - which frequent feedback from my clients attests to.

If you’re unsure whether this is the right lane for you, we can have a short, pressure-free chat. If I’m not the best fit, I’ll say so and point you to someone who is.
