Integrative Neurocoaching
I work in the mental health–adjacent, non-clinical space, providing neuroscience-informed coaching support to individuals who are experiencing emotional dysregulation, stress, burnout, or reduced functional capacity; often alongside ongoing therapeutic or medical care.
My role is to support nervous system regulation, self-leadership, and day-to-day functioning, while maintaining clear boundaries around diagnosis, treatment, and clinical intervention.
When Referral to Neurocoaching Is Appropriate
Clients who benefit most from referral typically:
- Are psychologically stable but functionally dysregulated
- Experience chronic stress, burnout, or emotional reactivity
- Struggle with nervous system overload impacting daily functioning
- Require support with self-regulation, stress tolerance, and behavioural integration
- Are already in therapy but need between-session regulation support
- Are resistant or fatigued by insight-only approaches
- This work is particularly suitable for high-functioning adults, professionals, and leaders under sustained pressure
Approach & Methodology
My work is grounded in:
- Neuroscience-informed coaching principles
- Nervous system regulation and stress physiology
- Assessment-driven coaching interventions
- Trauma-aware, non-exposure frameworks
I utilise structured assessments to understand:
- Stress load and burnout risk
- Regulation capacity
- Behavioural and coping patterns
- Self-leadership under pressure
The focus is on stabilisation, containment, and functional improvement.
Professional Background
I hold a Bachelor of Science from Stellenbosch University, with majors in Psychology, Computer Science, and Mathematics, supporting a structured, systems-based coaching orientation.
I am:
- A Certified Neuro Lifecoach (Institute for Multi-Level Neuro Processing)
- A Registered Coach with the International Coaches Register (ICR)
I have been in private practice since 2019 through Grounded for Life, offering remote and in-person sessions.
Collaboration & Communication
Where appropriate and with client consent, I am open to:
- Collaborative care alongside therapists or medical providers
- Clear communication regarding scope and role
- Referral back when clinical escalation is indicated
My intention is to support continuity of care, not fragmentation.
Professional Positioning
I am an Integrative Neurocoach with an academic foundation in psychology and a structured, assessment-informed coaching framework.
I do not provide:
- Psychotherapy
- Diagnosis
- Trauma processing
- Crisis intervention
- Medical or psychiatric treatment
My work is designed to complement clinical care, not replace it.
Clinical Boundaries & Scope
All coaching remains non-clinical and is delivered within a clearly defined scope of practice.
I explicitly:
- Do not assess or treat mental illness
- Do not process traumatic memory
- Do not engage in exposure-based or emotion-eliciting interventions
- Refer back to clinical care if risk indicators emerge
If a client presents with:
- Acute psychiatric symptom
- Active self-harm ideation
- Severe functional impairment
- Trauma requiring clinical intervention
I prioritise immediate referral back to appropriate healthcare providers.
Areas of Support
- Stress-related emotional dysregulation
- Burnout and functional fatigue
- Anger, irritability, or emotional shutdown
- Anxiety-adjacent stress responses (non-clinical)
- Behavioural change and adaptive coping
- Psychoeducation around nervous system function
Referral Process
Referrals can be made by:
- Encouraging the client to initiate contact directly
- Requesting a brief referral conversation (with consent)
All client work begins with ethical screening and informed consent.
