Specialist Therapy for IVF, Miscarriage & Infertility - Online
Support for IVF, Infertility
& Miscarriage - Online
Hi, I'm Saff.
If you’ve found your way here, I imagine you may be going through IVF, miscarriage, or fertility struggles - and I’m so sorry that you are.
I’m a therapist who specialises in supporting women through IVF, miscarriage, and fertility issues.
This work is deeply personal to me. I’ve been through my own long and painful fertility journey, including multiple rounds of IVF, donor egg IVF, and the pain of miscarriage.
That is why I do this work - because I know how hard it is to go through these experiences and I know people rarely understand unless they have been through it too.
I support women at every stage - from trying to conceive naturally, to fertility treatment, miscarriage and loss, pregnancy after loss, and decisions about whether to keep going.
I also support women coming to terms with a life without children.
Whatever you’re facing on this journey…
You don’t have to go through this alone.
I offer online counselling and psychotherapy across the UK.
If you would like support, please get in touch. I offer a free, no-pressure introductory call, or we can arrange an initial session straight away if you prefer.
My Fertility Journey - The Reason I Do This Work
My decision to specialise in fertility, IVF, miscarriage, and infertility is deeply personal.
My own journey was long, complex, and one of the most painful times in my life.
I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility and went through years of treatment — including IVF, donor eggs, and treatment overseas.
I also experienced multiple miscarriages, including hearing the words:
“I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat.”
That whole experience changed me.
It also showed me how hard it is for others to truly understand unless they’ve been through it themselves.
That’s why this work matters so much to me.
I know how lonely and isolating it can all feel, and I know how important it is to feel understood and supported.

Miscarriage often comes as a shock, and can be an incredibly painful emotionally.
If this is why you are here, I am 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 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 also be pregnant again after loss, holding both hope and fear at the same time, while still grieving what came before.
In my work, I support women through all of this, and more.
I will be led by you and whatever you are experiencing. 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.
If you would like support, please get in touch.
Please note, I am also listed as an approved therapist on the Miscarriage Association Counsellors Directory.
If you are dealing with fertility issues, 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.
There may be feelings of grief, anger, envy, or guilt — even if they’re 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 this journey can help you feel seen, supported, and less alone.
Together, we can make sense of what you’re going through, and help you find some stability during a time that can feel overwhelming and uncertain. We can also look at what might help while you are on this journey, and try to create small, manageable changes.
