Fertility Professional
and Accredited Coach

Accredited Professional Fertility Coach

After more than twenty years working in one of the busiest IVF clinics in the UK, I couldn’t ignore the increasing need for honest conversations, clear information and a forward-facing approach to support people through what is a supremely challenging journey. The choices and decision-making needed, whatever stage you are at, have become so much more complex – yet a Google search will send you in a million different directions.

So why might you consider Fertility Coaching

• Is time standing still as well as racing by as you wonder where to begin?
• Are you thirty-something, single, wanting to have a family but not sure how that’s going to happen?
• Are you overwhelmed with the decisions you need to make about family-forming at a time when you feel most vulnerable?
• Do questions pop into your head the moment you leave your fertility clinic appointment?
• Are you finding add-ons’ difficult to understand?
• Are you wondering about the best way to choose a sperm donor, how many and what type of samples to order?
• Are you feeling lonely and isolated with your fertility issues and want an insider to hold your hand through the process of IVF?
• Are you spending hours looking through fertility websites and wondering how it all applies to you?
• Would you like to be able to air your feelings in a non-judgemental space?
• Are you wondering how you might involve your partner more in your fertility journey and understand how to support each other better?
• Are you feeling baffled by the complexity of the fertility process?
• Are you working a lot and don’t have the time to establish where to start with your fertility treatment?
• Would you like to set aside time to focus on your specific situation, to make sure you are not leaving any stones unturned in your fertility journey?
• Are you wondering what to say to your GP when you broach the topic of fertility?
• Are you feeling daunted by the idea of choosing a fertility clinic and wondering what you might ask during a first consultation?
• Is the information you are finding conflicting and confusing, making it difficult to know who to trust?
• Are your well-meaning friends and family making fertility treatment even more complicated?
• Are you wondering if it’s time to take a pause in your fertility journey and re-evaluate?
• Are you struggling to come to terms with fertility setbacks?
• Are you wondering where you might find an independent fertility expert who can offer you a pragmatic and practical support through fertility treatment?

Coaching sessions invite you to think clearly and find new confidence that you are getting the best from any treatment you may be having, armed with trusted information from a seasoned expert.

Coaching or Counselling?

Fertility counselling is there for you if you are struggling to cope from day to day, or perhaps you need to deal with a loss or grief after an event in the past. Fertility coaching is also a confidential, non-judgemental space to talk, but sessions are focussed more on planning for what is coming next, re-framing thoughts and empowering you with knowledge. My coaching clients come away from their sessions better informed, knowing what questions they might need to ask of the professionals at their clinic, and more prepared for the ups and downs that can make this process so hard.

Why should I seek support, I’m fine?

Understanding that you might benefit from expert support in your fertility journey is a sign of strength. Coaching is currently one of the fastest-growing industries for a reason – many of the world’s best leaders choose to receive coaching to build resilience, motivate themselves and gain personal insights to discover what might be holding them back. There is nothing ‘wrong’ with someone who employs a coach – they just want the best for themselves. I’m passionate about helping you get the best from your experience, whether you are in the process of working out what are the first steps, or making the decision to stop treatment and find your next positive move forward.
