Scope of practice

A thoughtful approach rooted in transparent boundaries, professional integrity, and inclusive care.

Defining my scope of practice to better support you

Being a trauma-informed practitioner means honouring the boundaries of my practice and ensuring I work strictly within my professional competencies.

My role is to offer you compassionate guidance, collaborative tools, and clear accountability, ensuring your wellbeing remains at the very centre of our time together. Knowing where my practice begins and ends is a fundamental act of care for your journey.

The nature of our work

I specialise in supporting you through stress, anxiety, and big life transitions, including the disorientation of moving, the loss of identity and belonging that can follow, and the quiet grief that doesn’t always get named. I’ll teach you how to access your own inner resources, strengths and abilities, so you can build confidence, create lasting positive habits, and move towards what matters to you.

Professional boundaries

While this work offers profound personal support, it is not intended as a substitute for medical or psychological care. I am not a medical doctor, a trained psychiatrist, or a clinical psychologist. Therefore, I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe for mental health conditions.

If we work together and you have needs that fall outside my scope of practice, I will always support your transition and do my best to connect you with a professional more suited to your journey.

Education and training

I believe that responsible, ethical care requires a lifelong commitment to learning and complete transparency. While hypnotherapy isn’t a statutorily regulated profession in the UK, I choose to hold myself to the highest industry standards.

I am trained in Mindfulness and Mindfulness-Based Clinical Hypnosis from Central England College.

I am fully insured and practice under the strict independent codes of ethics and professional conduct set by the UK’s leading professional associations. I am a registered member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and hold a verified membership with the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (APHP).

I engage in annual continuing education, regular supervision, and I also hold verified international membership with the National Guild of Hypnotists.

Inclusion and accessibility statement

Inclusion isn't a marketing checkbox or virtue signalling; it is an active, foundational commitment to shifting power, and building trauma-informed spaces where you are fully honoured and respected.

As a white, cisgender, able-bodied practitioner operating within the wellness space, I am deeply aware of the mistrust surrounding mainstream wellness environments.

I believe that true trauma-informed care cannot exist without an anti-oppressive lens. Systemic oppression, racism, ableism, and economic inequality directly impact our nervous systems, stress levels, and capacity for personal growth. We cannot support the individual without acknowledging the environment they are living in.

Being trauma-informed and being inclusive go hand in hand; you cannot truly be one without the other. Here is how these values shape what I do with you in our sessions and workshops:
- De-centring "cis-het" norms: I intentionally moved my services away from working solely with women to ensure trans, non-binary, and queer individuals feel honoured and genuinely invited in.
- Adapting the practice: Common wellness practices often demand rigid compliance (like forcing fixed postures or strict breath counts), which can dysregulate a sensitive or traumatised nervous system. I adapt every tool to your body and pacing, offering choices rather than commands.
- Cultural respect & origins: I acknowledge that practices like mindfulness have deep, non-Western roots. I am committed to honouring the historical lineages of the modalities I use rather than commercialising or stripping them of their origins.
I view this work as a lifelong commitment to learning and unlearning my own internalised biases and white supremacy. Unlearning involves making mistakes, and I am committed to being honest, owning those mistakes, and repairing any harm. There is no final point of arrival. To ensure my practice embodies these commitments, I have invested in specialised training with leaders in the intersection of equity, therapeutic care, and wellness, including:
- Tristan Katz: Creating safer spaces: embodying your commitment to trans inclusion
- Self Space (Seattle): Building trust with clients of colour
- Jess Jackson (Soft Path Healing): Creating a trauma-informed intake process
- Sim Fitzgerald: Inclusive Biz Foundations (the catalyst for auditing my website and language)
- Natalie Brite, (Do Good Biz): ethical, inclusive, and anti-oppressive marketing and strategic planning
True accessibility must be financial, physical, and cognitive. Everyone learns and integrates experiences differently, and what brings comfort to one person may feel completely overwhelming to another.
- Flexible one-to-one sessions: We can work together on Zoom or in-person depending on your physical, emotional and energetic needs.
- Financial access: I offer clear, transparent payment plans with zero extra fees or interest, allowing you to comfortably spread out your investment.
- Group accommodations: For the group workshops where slides are used, I provide access to the digital decks and edited transcripts to support neurodivergent participants and varied learning styles.
Rather than keeping these promises vague, here are the priority actions from my Inclusion Action Plan that I am actively tracking and implementing:
- Subsidised care allocation: Dedicating one slot per month for a lower-priced, subsidised 1:1 session to ensure financial barriers do not lock individuals out of gentle, supportive care.
- Digital and social accessibility: auditing the colour contrast across my website to ensure text is fully legible for everyone. I am also committed to adding descriptive alt-text on my website, detailed image descriptions on Instagram, and camel-case capitalisation for all hashtags to ensure they are accessible to screen readers.
- Inclusive feedback loops: adding intentional, reflective questions to my workshop feedback forms such as: “Did the way mindfulness was presented feel aligned with your identity, culture, or lived experience? If there are ways I can improve or adapt to better support you, please let me know” to ensure my teaching remains inclusive, supportive and respectful.
- Regular audit and accountability: scheduling bi-annual accessibility and inclusion audits on my website, adding specific review block opportunities directly into my calendar. I will continue to review all business practices through an anti-oppressive lens and share my progress, learnings, and mistakes.
