Clear boundaries, offered with care

Nurtura Well-Being exists to offer understanding, rehabilitation, and prevention for people living under prolonged survival strain.

To do this responsibly, ethically, and safely, it is important to be clear about what Nurtura Well-Being is, and what it is not.

These policies exist to protect you, to protect Nurtura Well-Being, and to ensure that this work remains honest, humane, and appropriately boundaried.

1. Non-clinical and non-diagnostic nature

Nurtura Well-Being is not a medical, psychological, psychiatric, or therapeutic service.

Nothing offered through this website, including written content, videos, audio, sessions, or any other material, is intended to:

Diagnose any mental or physical health condition
Treat illness, trauma, or disorder
Replace therapy, counselling, psychiatry, or medical care

All content and services are provided for educational, reflective, and supportive purposes only.

If you are currently receiving care from a healthcare professional, Nurtura Well-Being does not advise you to stop, delay, or alter that care.

2. Not a substitute for professional or emergency support

Nurtura Well-Being is not suitable for crisis situations.

If you are:

At risk of harming yourself or others
Feeling unable to keep yourself safe
Experiencing a mental health emergency

You must seek immediate professional help in your local area.

If you are in the UK, you may contact:

NHS 111 or your GP
Samaritans on 116 123
Emergency services if there is immediate danger

If you are outside the UK, please contact your local emergency services or recognised crisis support organisations.

Nurtura Well-Being exists alongside, not instead of, professional support systems.

3. No guarantees, outcomes, or promises

Nurtura Well-Being does not promise:

Healing, recovery, or cure
Relief from symptoms
Personal transformation
Specific outcomes or results

Human experience is complex, and responses to reflective or educational support vary from person to person.
