Professional Background & Service Boundaries

Terrie Smith is a registered mental health nurse and independent nurse prescriber registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) 

While professional knowledge and clinical experience inform the psychoeducational and formulation-based approach used within LifeSpan Coaching, services are provided in a non-clinical and non-therapeutic capacity unless explicitly stated otherwise.

LifeSpan Coaching does not provide:

  • emergency mental health support 
  • crisis intervention 
  • psychiatric services 
  • psychotherapy or counselling 
  • diagnostic assessment 
  • medical treatment 
  • prescribing services through this platform 
  • substitute care for NHS or private healthcare services 

Services offered through LifeSpan Coaching are educational, reflective, supportive, and formulation-informed in nature. They are designed to support understanding, insight, structure, psychoeducation, and self-development, but are not intended to replace regulated healthcare, therapy, or specialist medical intervention.

Any information shared through this website, social media content, downloadable resources, group sessions, educational materials, or coaching sessions should not be interpreted as medical, psychiatric, psychological, or legal advice.

Please see safeguarding and crisis information section on this website. 

Assessment & Formulation Approach

LifeSpan Coaching operates from an “assessment before intervention” philosophy.

Where appropriate, services may involve structured exploration of personal history, current functioning, environmental pressures, emotional wellbeing, neurodevelopmental traits, coping patterns, and formulation-based understanding. These discussions are intended to support insight and psychoeducation only and do not constitute formal diagnosis or clinical assessment.

Participation in services does not establish a practitioner-patient relationship.
