Infertility

We all grow up with ideas of what it will mean to be a parent and how it will feel to experience pregnancy and birth. It can be profoundly disorientating and incredibly distressing when things don’t unfold as we expect.

The fertility journey can be a time of immense strain, sadness and uncertainty. Women and their partners are faced with endless questions, decisions, and invasive procedures. Many feel like it's just not fair that having babies seems to come so easily to 'everyone else’.

I have experience working with individuals who are both undergoing and have undergone fertility treatment. Counselling can help reduce isolation and provide another level of support during this difficult time. It can also provide the space needed to reflect once treatment is finished. It is a space in which to hold all the worries, grief, sorrow, shame or anger the fertility journey might through up.
