Natural therapies to support your mental health.

Natural Treatments for Mental Health Conditions

Living with symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, fatigue, and brain fog can have a significant impact on your quality of life. For many people, these symptoms persist despite trying different treatments, leading to a cycle of frustration and doubt.

Mental health is shaped by more than just brain function. Your mood, focus, and energy are influenced by interconnected systems such as gut health, hormones, sleep, the stress response, immune function, and nutrition. An effective mental health treatment plan needs to consider how these systems interact, and how they influence mood. For example, nutritional deficiencies can affect neurotransmitter production, digestive system issues can disrupt the gut brain connection, hormone imbalance can alter mood and energy, and ongoing stress can deplete your resilience over time.

Conventional medicine misses the complexity of mental health issues. Naturopathy works to uncover and address the underlying causes. Through nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle support, and functional testing where needed, a holistic approach aims not only to ease symptoms but also to build resilience, balance, and long-term mental wellbeing.

We Can Help With

Anxiety

Anxiety can show up as persistent worry, intrusive or racing thoughts, disrupted sleep, or physical symptoms such as a racing heart, dry mouth, dizziness, sweating and IBS. While some anxiety is a normal (and necessary) response to stress, ongoing anxiety can indicate deeper issues with the nervous system, gut health, or hormone balance. Naturopathy works to identify the root causes and provide support through diet, supplements and lifestyle changes.

ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects focus, concentration, memory, and emotional regulation, often making everyday life more challenging. Naturopathic treatment considers contributing factors such as diet, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, hormones, and sleep quality. By addressing these underlying influences, natural therapies can complement medical care and support improved focus, mood stability, and overall health and wellbeing.

Depression

Depression affects more than mood—it can also impact energy, sleep, and daily life, often bringing symptoms such as insomnia, withdrawal, lack of motivation, and difficulty coping with everyday tasks. For some people, conventional treatments such as antidepressants are helpful, but for others they provide limited benefit or don’t fully address the underlying issues. Naturopathy takes a whole-person approach, considering contributing factors such as nutrient deficiencies, thyroid or adrenal health, inflammation, gut function, and stress. By working to restore balance at the root, naturopathic care aims to support emotional wellbeing, energy, and resilience.

Brain Fog

Brain fog describes a persistent difficulty with focus, memory, and mental clarity that can accompany stress, fatigue, hormonal changes, or poor gut health. Brain fog can also be a symptom of underlying imbalance in areas such as the thyroid, adrenal system, or nutrition (such as iron, b12, and folate deficiencies). Naturopathic care aims to uncover these drivers and support clearer thinking, better energy, and improved cognitive function.

Your Mental Health Questions Answered

Is natural medicine safe for mental health care?

When prescribed by a qualified practitioner, herbal medicine or nutritional supplements can be both safe and effective in supporting mental health. Each prescription is carefully tailored to your unique needs, and interactions with medications are always considered to ensure your treatment is safe.

Can gut health affect mood and mental wellbeing?

Absolutely. The gut and brain are closely connected through the gut–brain axis and it’s estimated that 90% of serotonin is made in the gut. Imbalances in the microbiome, food intolerances, or inflammation can contribute to mood disorders, fatigue, and brain fog. Naturopathic treatment often addresses digestive health as part of improving mental wellbeing.

Can naturopathy support children or teenagers with mental health challenges?

Yes. Naturopathic care can be adapted for all ages and may be helpful for younger people dealing with issues such as anxiety, ADHD, or low mood. Treatment is always age-appropriate, and focused on safe, evidence-based strategies that work alongside family and medical support.

Do you recommend stopping my prescribed medication if I start naturopathic treatment?

No. Medications should never be stopped or adjusted without guidance from your prescribing doctor. Naturopathy can safely complement conventional treatment and, in some cases, may help reduce reliance on medication over time—but this process is always carefully managed in collaboration with your healthcare team.

Do I need a referral to see a naturopath?

A referral is not required to book an appointment. You can make a booking directly, whether you’d like to see us in person at the clinic or online via telehealth.

Can I take my antidepressant alongside herbs & nutrients?

Your naturopath will always check for any contraindications when prescribing herbs and nutrients if you are taking any prescribed medications.
