Support for IVF, Infertility & Miscarriage - Online
Hi, I'm Saff.
I'm a therapist who specialises in supporting women through IVF, infertility and miscarriage. I have over a decade of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist, and in recent years I have specialised in working with women experiencing infertility, IVF and miscarriage.
My work is grounded in my professional training and experience, together with the personal understanding that comes from having been through these experiences myself.
Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, going through IVF or other fertility treatment, coping with miscarriage or pregnancy loss, navigating pregnancy after loss, deciding whether to continue treatment, or coming to terms with a life without children, I'm here to support you.
Whatever you're facing on this journey...
You don't have to go through this alone.
I offer online counselling and psychotherapy to women across the UK.
If you would like support, please get in touch. I offer a free, no-pressure introductory call, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions and see whether I feel like the right therapist for you.
Why I Do This Work
My decision to support women through infertility, IVF and miscarriage comes from my own experience.
I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility and went through years of fertility treatment, including IVF, donor egg treatment and treatment overseas.
I also experienced the shock and grief of multiple miscarriages.
It was the most difficult experience of my life, and the journey changed me.
It also showed me how difficult it can be to find someone who truly understands what you are going through.
That's why this work means so much to me.
I know how lonely, isolating and overwhelming this journey can feel. And I know how much it can help to have someone alongside you who genuinely understands what you are going through.
If you would like support with your IVF or infertility journey, or with the pain of miscarriage and pregnancy loss, I'd be very happy to talk with you.
I offer a free, no-pressure introductory call, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions and see whether I feel like the right therapist for you.
If you're experiencing infertility, going through IVF, or facing the possibility of not having children, I know how incredibly hard this can be.
For many women, it is one of the most painful and challenging experiences of their lives.
You may feel isolated and alone, as though no one truly understands.
You might feel left behind, or find it difficult to be around pregnant women and babies.
You may be feeling grief, anger, envy or guilt — even if those feelings are hard to admit.
You might feel stuck in limbo, as though your life is on hold, or that this journey has taken over who you are.
It can affect your relationships, your sense of self, and your relationship with your body.
You may be carrying the pain of loss and failed cycles, or navigating a long-awaited pregnancy with anxiety rather than joy.
You might also be facing the possibility of stopping treatment — and everything that comes with that.
In all of this...
Therapy can help.
Working with someone who truly understands what you're going through can help you feel seen, supported, and less alone.

Miscarriage often comes as a shock and can be an incredibly painful experience.
If this is why you're here, I'm so sorry.
You may be feeling grief, shock, numbness, anger or anxiety — or a sense that your world has shifted in ways you didn't expect.
You might feel unsupported, or hurt by things others have said, even if they meant well.
Alongside the emotional pain, you may also be coping with physical recovery, trauma, and the loss of the life you had imagined with your baby.
You may find yourself questioning your body, your future, or blaming yourself — even though it is not your fault.
You might be pregnant again after loss, holding both hope and fear at the same time, while still grieving what came before.
I support women through all of this, and more.
I will be guided by you and whatever feels most important to you. Together, we can gently process what has happened and the impact it has had on you.
For many women, it's not about "moving on," but about acknowledging and honouring your grief, and slowly finding a way through it.
Therapy can't take the pain away...
But it can help you feel supported, understood, and less alone.
