Support With
Your IVF journey
IVF can affect every part of your life, and it is far more difficult than we expect.
I help women navigate all aspects of the IVF and infertility journey.

IVF and How I Can Help
Every woman’s path through IVF is unique to them, so I aim to support you in the ways you personally need.
However, this often includes...
Providing a space for all of it
You don’t need to filter what you say with me, or try to hold things together.
I provide somewhere to share the hope, the fear, the anxiety, the despair… The anger, the grief, the loss - and the moments of excitement too.
I can help you feel supported through uncertainty, starting to lose hope, and when things begin to feel overwhelming or too much.
Making sense of what you’re dealing with, at your pace
So much of this experience is hard to process alone.
I aim to make you feel seen, validated, and understood with all that you are going through. Nothing is off limits, or considered too much.
A place for the things that feel hard to say
I provide somewhere to share the thoughts and feelings you’ve kept to yourself - the ones that feel difficult, or hard to admit.
Things like pregnancy envy, or anger and frustration. It’s all completely normal under the circumstances, and it can help to talk about it.
The bigger picture
IVF can begin to take over everything. Your thoughts. Your plans. Your sense of the future.
Together, we can explore the impact it’s having on you, and your life. And we can look at whether there are ways to bring a little balance back.
When things aren’t
going to plan
If IVF isn’t going as you hoped and the goal posts have shifted, working with me may include thinking about treatment decisions.
This might mean looking at things like - having further specialist investigations, or considering moving to donor eggs or sperm.
I know how sensitive and challenging this can be, and I help women navigate these decisions all the time.
Thinking about ending your fertility journey
Feeling as though you may be coming to the end of your fertility journey without a child, is one of the most significant things you are ever likely to have to face as a woman. I am truly sorry you are grappling with this reality.
I understand the complexities of this, and it is a decision I support women through gently and sensitively.
A consistent, calm presence
I can be a constant support throughout the entire IVF experience, and what comes after. I’ll stay with you through all of it, and will offer understanding and support for whatever you bring.
