Therapy for IVF, Miscarriage, & Infertility - Online
Hi, and welcome.
I am a therapist who specialises in supporting women with IVF, fertility issues, miscarriage, and infertility. I imagine that is why you are here, and I am so sorry you are going through this.
I know how hard it can be - I have been there personally. In fact, that is why I specialise in this work. I had a long and painful fertility journey spanning many years, which included numerous rounds of IVF, donor egg IVF, and multiple miscarriages.
I support women through every stage of fertility, infertility and loss - from struggling to conceive, natural conception, and miscarriage, to IVF, IUI, ICSI, and donor conception. I also work with women navigating pregnancy after loss, secondary infertility, deciding whether to stop treatment, and coming to terms with a life without children.
I work with women every day who are going through these experiences. Whatever you are facing, I would love to support you.
I offer online counselling across the UK, supporting clients in London, Birmingham, Manchester and beyond.
I offer a free no pressure introductory call so why not get in touch now to find out more.
My Fertility Journey - The Reason I Do This Work
My decision to specialise in supporting women navigating fertility issues, IVF, miscarriage and infertility was deeply personal. I had a very long fertility journey and it was the most challenging and painful period of my life.
I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility and what followed was a long and complex IVF journey, including transitioning to donor eggs, treatment overseas, and several rounds of donor‑egg IVF. I also experienced multiple miscarriages - including two missed miscarriages discovered at a scan, where I heard those devastating words: “I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat.”
This whole journey affected me profoundly. It also made me realise that unless someone has been through it themselves, it’s very hard for them to understand what it's like.
That is why, as a therapist, I feel passionate about working with women dealing with these issues. I know how important it is to be supported by someone who genuinely understands the impact IVF, fertility challenges, miscarriage and infertility can have.
If what I have shared here resonates with you, and you would like to arrange an initial therapy session or have a free introductory chat, please get in touch.
Miscarriage (baby loss) usually comes as a total shock, and can be an incredibly difficult experience. If that is the reason you are here, I am sorry. I realise it may be affecting you in lots of different ways, including some of the following...
- You may be feeling a range of emotions including grief, shock, numbness, anger, fear, anxiety, and a sense your world has shifted in ways you didn’t expect.
- You may be feeling dismissed or unsupported. Maybe people have minimised your loss, or have said things (unintentionally) that felt insensitive and hurtful.
- You might be navigating physical recovery, or even trauma, alongside the deeply painful grief of the baby you have lost, and the life you had imagined with them in it.
- Your miscarriage might have stirred up questions about your identity, fears about the future, and a worry that you might not be able to have a successful pregnancy.
- It might feel as though your life has paused while the world continues around you, leaving you unsure how to move forward or how to make sense of what you’re feeling.
- Although it is not your fault, you may be blaming yourself - worrying it's something you did that caused the miscarriage - or blaming your body and feeling like it's failed you and your baby.
- Or perhaps you have become pregnant again after miscarrying, and you are filled with anxiety and worry that something will go wrong - and you may also still be grieving the previous loss too.
In my work with women who have experienced miscarriage, I support them with all of these things, and more.
If you see me for therapy, I will be led by you and whatever it is you are experiencing. Together we can gently process what has happened, explore the mental and emotional impact, and help you slowly find your footing again.
For most women, it’s not about moving on or forgetting. Instead, it’s about honouring and acknowledging your grief and loss and the impact it has had on you, so you can gradually learn to integrate it into your life. Therapy can’t magic the pain away, but it can help you feel supported and seen, as you grieve and process what you have been through.
If this sounds like it would be helpful, why not contact me to arrange a free, no pressure introductory chat. Or you can learn more about how I support women dealing with miscarriage and baby loss here.

If you are dealing with fertility issues, undergoing IVF, or you are facing infertility and the prospect of never having children of your own, I know it is incredibly challenging. In fact, it is probably one of the most difficult things you will face in your life.
It is not uncommon for the journey to impact you in a multitude of ways, including the following...
- You may be feeling isolated and lonely, and as though nobody understands
- If you have had multiples rounds of IVF, it may be hard to keep hoping and trying to stay positive, time and again - as each failed cycle is crushingly disappointing and painful.
- You may be feeling left behind as friends and colleagues all seem to be getting pregnant and having babies, and it can feel like time is running out.
- It may suddenly feel like pregnant women are everywhere you look and it is difficult to be around them - including friends.
- You might be feeling resentment or envy towards pregnant women and mothers, even if that feels hard to admit to yourself.
- You may have experienced the joy of a positive pregnancy test but then experienced a miscarriage - something which is incredibly hard in any circumstances, but particularly so if it happens after a hard won pregnancy via fertility treatment.
- You might feel like your life has been put on hold and you are in a constant state of limbo.
- If you have been trying for a long time, you might be feeling as though the fertility journey has completely taken over your life, and you no longer recognise who you are outside of it.
- The challenges you are facing with fertility may have started impacting your friendships, and even your relationship with your partner.
- You may be feeling angry towards your body and blaming yourself or feeling like a failure.
- Maybe you have managed to get pregnant after a long fertility journey, but as a result, you are filled with anxiety and unable to relax or enjoy it.
- You may be terrified that you will never get to become a mother.
- Or you might have come to a point where you are considering ending your journey - but this feels impossibly hard.
In all these circumstances, and many more, therapy can be helpful.
In particular, having therapy with someone who truly understands what this journey is like, can help you feel seen, understood and supported in a way you may not have experienced before. This can feel like a huge relief when so few people in your life “get it”.
If you see me for therapy, I will welcome all your thoughts and feelings without judgement. I will try to help you find ways to reduce emotional overwhelm. And I will offer you care, understanding, and a sense of stability, during a time that can feel unpredictable and all‑consuming.
If this sounds like it would be helpful, why not contact me now to arrange a free initial telephone chat, or a first session.
