Natural therapies
and counselling
for mental health
Stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems...: Ailments of our modern lifestyle.
Mental illnesses are on the rise in Australia (1), and it is estimated that
almost half of all Australian adults will face mental illness during their life (2)
the most common mental illnesses include anxiety and depression (3).
Yet it is now solidly established that mental health is a key factor in our overall health and welllbeing.
Naturopathy uses a safe but powerful approach to improve your mental health by using a combination of natural therapies.
How can Naturopathy support your mental health?
Naturopathy is based on a holistic and natural approach to mental health.
Besides helping you feel better mentally with lifestyle counselling, nutritional and herbal medicine, Naturopathy also aims to empower you and to give you health knowledge and skills that will become a precious supporting resource to turn to for the rest of your life.
Holistic approach: all aspects of the person are considered to understand their mental health condition - this includes their physical health (gut, immune, hormonal health…), their environment (exposure to toxins, social network…), and their history (abuse, trauma…).
Safety: natural evidence-based therapies are used, and treatments are designed using the least invasive options before considering more potent interventions - all treatments (dietary, nutritional, herbal, etc.) are checked for possible interactions with pharmaceuticals.
Empowerment: Naturopathy puts a major focus on the person’s experience of their illness, rather than restricting its approach to a diagnosis - education on a variety of health and lifestyle topics is also a priority to support the person’s health independence.
Results: increasing research shows that natural therapies are effective to support mental health, on their own or used with conventional approaches - combining naturopathic treatments, prevention, and education helps achieve the best results.
Just as mental health is essential for physical health,
physical health is also key in supporting mental health.
