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.
