The Health Designs programme is based upon the following principles:

• We work from an awareness and understanding of the holistic health philosophy, with a belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit and emotion.
• We work in partnership with our clients providing advice, guidance and support, without being overly directive.
• We believe in furnishing our clients with knowledge and skills to facilitate independence. All advice and information given is based upon good quality research wherever possible to enable informed choices to be made.
• Clients are respected and supported in the choices they make.
• We have a commitment to address the cause, not just the symptoms of ill-health.
• We accept conventional, complementary and alternative methods whilst recognising the benefits and limitations of all these approaches.
• Health promotion is equally important as illness prevention.
• We fundamentally believe that we all have an innate wisdom and healing response - sometimes support is needed to unveil these aspects of ourselves
