Helping you navigate the challenges and uncertainties of IVF treatment
Is this you?
You’ve faced fertility challenges, whether it’s unexplained infertility, pregnancy loss, or undergoing fertility treatments.
You have a supportive partner, but you still feel like the weight of this journey is on your shoulders, leaving you feeling isolated or resentful. It feels like your issue to fix, and that sense of unfairness is hard to shake.
You’re stuck in a cycle of uncertainty and doubt about the future, even though you’re doing your best to stay outwardly positive.
You put on a brave face, even when your heart feels like it’s breaking.
Every pregnancy announcement on social media feels like a punch in the stomach, and all you want to do is hide under a duvet.
You’ve thrown everything at it – from fertility specialists and treatments to acupuncture, reflexology, and nutrition – yet the emotional toll is overwhelming.
You’re emotionally drained, feeling overwhelmed by it all.
I know IVF isn’t where you hoped to be
Why would anyone choose this path? It’s expensive, invasive, and demanding, with no guarantees. It takes a toll on your body, mind, and emotions, leaving you drained as you face one of the toughest challenges of your life.
Yet, here you are.
I’m here to help you navigate IVF in a way that feels aligned with who you are. Together, we’ll work on building a mindset that empowers you to take control of the things you can control, so you can approach this journey with resilience and clarity.
A bit about me
My fertility journey was not the picture-perfect experience I imagined. There were times when I felt like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. I had been swept away from the familiar world I knew and thrust into an unfamiliar and surreal place, where nothing made sense, and everything seemed beyond my control. I felt isolated, alone and like time was slipping away.
But then, something changed. I found a private gynaecologist who I think of as “Glinda, the Good Witch”. She listened, understood, and guided me through what would eventually become my IVF journey. She wasn’t the only one who helped. Along the way, I found a community of supportive professionals and friends who showed up at exactly the right moments.
I know firsthand how hard it is to balance hope and reality, to keep going when it feels like everything is out of your control.
This is for you if you need:…
A Safe Space to Talk:
Whether you need to vent your frustration at the unfairness of infertility, share your feelings of jealousy when yet another one of your friends gets pregnant, express your fears about the treatment not working, or just be heard, I’m here to listen without judgment.
Emotional Guidance:
IVF can be an emotional whirlwind.
I can help you develop strategies to manage your feelings, cope with setbacks, and keep hope alive.
Support Through Every Stage:
No matter where you are in your journey, from making the decision to pursue IVF, end IVF or post-treatment support, I’ll be with you every step of the way.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
I understand how deeply personal and emotional this experience is, and I want you to know you don’t have to face it by yourself. I’m here not only as a counsellor but as someone who genuinely understands the challenges and triumphs of infertility and IVF.
Let’s walk this journey together.
