Therapy for IVF, Fertility Issues, Miscarriage & Infertility. Specialist Support for Women. Online, UK Wide.
Specialist Areas of Support
I specialise in supporting women through fertility challenges, IVF, miscarriage, baby loss and reproductive trauma.
These experiences are deeply personal, often complex, and can affect every part of your life - from identity and relationships to emotional wellbeing.
This page outlines aspects of these experiences I support women with most often. You don’t need to fit into a neat category - your journey will be unique to you. However, if any of this resonates, you’re in the right place, and I would like to support you if I can.
Please read on to learn more, or get in touch if you’re ready to make an appointment.
Infertility, IVF & Fertility Challenges
The fertility journey is one of the most emotionally demanding experiences a woman can face.
It can feel relentless - a cycle of hope, fear, disappointment and uncertainty that touches every part of life. It can also be incredibly isolating, especially when others don’t fully understand the emotional toll.
In the sections below, I explore the emotional realities of fertility challenges and the ways therapy can support you through them.
The Impact of Fertility Issues, IVF & Infertility
Women I support in therapy often describe:
The emotional impact:
- The stress and uncertainty of trying to conceive (TTC)
- Navigating medical appointments and unclear results
- The emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatment (IUI, IVF, ICSI)
- The exhaustion of repeated cycles and “trying again”
- The grief of unsuccessful cycles or early pregnancy losses
- Feeling punished or “cursed” by how relentless the journey can feel
- The anxiety of pregnancy after loss or treatment
The wider impact:
- How infertility affects relationships and emotional closeness
- The impact on identity, purpose and direction
- The complexity of using donor eggs, sperm or embryos
- Feeling left behind as others move forward with their families
- Resentment, envy or sadness that feels hard to admit
- The fear of not becoming a mother
- Coming to terms with the end of the journey without a child

Fertility Issues, IVF & Infertility: How Therapy Can Help
Alongside giving you space to speak openly about your fertility journey with someone who understands, therapy can support you to explore:
- The emotional impact of infertility and treatment
- Grief, fear, anger or hopelessness
- The pressure, uncertainty and loss of control
- The impact on your relationship and communication
- The identity shifts that come with prolonged fertility struggles
- The emotional complexity of donor conception
- How to hold both hope and grief at the same time
- How to create space for yourself outside the world of infertility
- How to begin making sense of things if you’ve reached the end of your journey without a child
Therapy offers a place to breathe, to feel, and to make sense of what this journey is asking of you. It can also help you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been overshadowed by the intensity of trying to conceive.
If you’d like support with any of this, I’m here.
Miscarriage and Baby Loss
Miscarriage and baby loss is a profound and often invisible grief.
It can impact you emotionally, physically, and psychologically in ways that are hard to articulate, even to the people closest to you. Many women describe feeling as though the world has carried on while they remain suspended in shock, sadness or disbelief.
In the sections below, I explore how miscarriage can affect you, and the ways therapy can support you through this deeply personal loss.
How Miscarriage & Baby Loss Can Affect You
Women I support often describe:
The emotional impact:
- The shock of the loss, no matter when it happened
- The loneliness of grieving a baby others never knew existed
- Feeling dismissed or minimised by friends, family or medical professionals
- Guilt, self‑blame or a sense of having “failed”
- Anger at their body, their circumstances or the unfairness of it all
- The pain of seeing others’ pregnancies or birth announcements
- Fear about trying again or facing another loss
- The loss of the future they had already begun to imagine
- The physical recovery that can feel at odds with the emotional one
The wider impact:
- Anxiety that begins to creep into everyday life
- How miscarriage affects identity, relationships and intimacy
- Feeling unsafe in your own body
- Questions you never expected to ask about yourself, your future or your relationships

Miscarriage & Baby Loss: How Therapy Can Help
Alongside giving you space to speak openly about your loss with someone who understands miscarriage and baby loss, therapy can support you to explore:
- The emotional impact of your loss
- The trauma of scans, procedures, or medical interventions
- Thoughts and feelings you may not have voiced to anyone else
- Grief, anger, guilt or numbness
- Fear and anxiety - which can often arise after this type of loss
- The sense of identity shift or disorientation
- The strain miscarriage can place on relationships
- Fear or uncertainty around trying again
- The ongoing impact of recurrent loss or medical trauma
Whatever we explore, we work at your pace. There is no timeline for grief, and no “right” way to feel. My role is to walk alongside you as you make sense of what has happened and begin to reconnect with yourself in the aftermath.
If any of this resonates, please get in touch.
