Specialist Counselling

For individuals navigating fertility, pregnancy, loss and the complexities of the journeys to and through parenthood. A reflective, contained space to think about experiences that can feel difficult to hold alone.

  • People come to counselling with a wide range of experiences, there is no right or wrong. I have specialist experience in counselling with issues connected to fertility, reproductive journeys, pregnancy and loss.

    This may include (but is not limited to):

    • pregnancy after loss

    • miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage

    • baby loss at any stage

    • TFMR (termination for medical reasons)

    • fertility investigations and treatment

    • decisions about continuing or ending treatment

    • secondary infertility

    • the emotional impact of trying to conceive

    • complex or ambivalent feelings about parenthood

    • changes in identity, relationships and sense of self

    • mental health concerns

    • postpartum adjustments

    You do not need to arrive with a clear focus. Counselling offers space to think about whatever feels most present. These often carry layers of grief, isolation, uncertainty, decision-making and relational complexity. Whatever stage you are at, please feel free to get in contact for an initial conversation to see if we could work well together.

  • I work in an integrative way, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you. At the centre of this is creating a space where you feel able to think openly, at your own pace, without pressure to move in a particular direction.

    I aim to offer a steady, considered space for exploration without pressure to simplify or resolve too quickly. Counselling is not always about goals and answers, it can be whatever you need the space to be, sometimes that’s permission to pause and be, sometimes it’s working through hard stuff.

    I am a member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals.

  • I like to offer flexibility to work in a way that suits you most. Some people prefer a regular booked session, others might prefer more space and time between sessions. It’s your counselling and it needs to work for you, we will agree duration and frequency.

  • Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and it’s important that it feels like the right fit. I offer an initial conversation where we can talk about what’s bringing you, what you’re looking for, and how I work. This gives you a chance to ask any questions and get a sense of whether it feels right to continue.

  • You are welcome to bring whatever feels important — whether that’s something very specific, or a more general sense that things feel difficult. There is no expectation to have clear goals or the “right words” at the start; we can take time to think things through together.
