I am a specialist counsellor and work exclusively in supporting people struggling with fertility, pregnancy loss, and early parenthood. This includes IVF, donor conception, miscarriage, secondary infertility, surrogacy, birth trauma, postnatal depression and postnatal anxiety.

I provide a confidential and therapeutic space for women, men, gender-fluid and non-binary clients in heterosexual or same-sex marriages or relationships, or pursuing single parenting.

To be really heard and understood - with empathy, with honesty and without judgement - can be unexpectedly transformative.

​I work online with clients from across the UK. I also work in person on Kensington High Street, London W8. 

I offer both short term and longer term counselling, depending on a client’s preference or needs.

I am a registered member of BICA (British Infertility Counselling Association). I trained for five years at Metanoia Institute in London and hold both a Diploma in Person-Centred Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a Postgraduate Diploma in Contemporary Person-Centred Studies.

Prior to setting up my own practice, I worked for four years as a counsellor at City Pregnancy Counselling & Psychotherapy.

The number of people who face difficulty in their effort to have a child is staggering. However, for each person the journey is deeply personal and uniquely encountered. Being able to convey the impact of your experience in a way that feels anywhere near adequate can seem impossible. It can be uncomfortable, too, sitting with difficult and often new feelings such as anger, envy, unfairness, isolation and desperation.

​When the next stage of the life you envisioned gets delayed or becomes ambiguous, your sense of self, identity and purpose can suffer. Having life on hold in relation to something so pivotal, and living with uncertainty, can be frightening and frustrating.

I often work with spouses and partners, for whom the anguish of wanting a child is felt no less intensely. That the experience is different for them doesn’t make it any less consuming or overwhelming. 

I offer a free 30-minute online intro session.
