Scope of Practice &
Ethical Standards

I provide trauma-informed coaching, clinical hypnotherapy, mindset support, and wellbeing education for individuals and groups.

My work is grounded in the professional standards and ethics consistent with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the established guidelines of Australian hypnotherapy associations and industry peak bodies.

My role is to support clients in developing emotional regulation skills, cognitive and behavioural insight, nervous system stability, and meaningful personal change. I practice within the boundaries of my training and expertise, and I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, and client-centred environment at all times.

Although I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychological Science, I amĀ notĀ a registered psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist, or medical practitioner.

I do not diagnose, treat, or manage mental health disorders, nor do I offer medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice. My work focuses on personal development, mindset, self-awareness, behavioural support, and nervous system education.

I am committed to:

  • practicing within my scope and referring when concerns fall outside my expertise
  • maintaining strict confidentiality and ethical boundaries
  • seeking informed consent before beginning any coaching or hypnotherapy process
  • ensuring clients understand the nature, purpose, and limits of the services offered
  • using evidence-informed, client-led, and trauma-aware approaches
  • creating a culturally sensitive, inclusive environment
  • prioritising psychological safety and respecting client autonomy
  • maintaining ongoing professional development and supervision to ensure quality and accountability.


Health & Medical Disclaimer

My coaching, hypnotherapy, workshops, digital products, and educational resources are intended to support mental wellbeing, personal growth, and behavioural change.

These services are not a substitute for medical treatment, psychological therapy, or crisis support.

For medical concerns, complex mental health conditions, medication questions, or diagnostic needs, I strongly recommend that clients engage with a qualified and licensed medical doctor, psychologist, or mental health professional.

My services can be used alongside traditional medical and therapeutic care to support holistic wellbeing.

If at any time a client presents with needs outside my scope, I will discuss this openly and provide appropriate referral recommendations to ensure that safety and best-practice standards are maintained.

If you have questions, concerns or complaints about any of my resources or services, please don't hesitate to contact me by email atĀ katie@alignmind.com.au
