Infertility Counselling in Carshalton

Linda Bignell
Counsellor, MBACP

I have experience and specialise in helping clients heal from trauma and adverse childhood events, navigate relationship difficulties (including dating app dilemmas), patterns of attachment and help to build self-esteem and confidence. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and insight-driven, helping my clients understand how past experiences may be impacting their life today, and more importantly, what they can do to move forward. Feeling stuck in life can stop us from being the best version of ourselves, and while we can't change the past, we can most certainly influence what happens next.

Highly experienced, I offer a safe, non-judgemental and creative space to explore personal or relationship concerns. Psychotherapy can help you to cope better with difficult experiences, to change your behaviours & attitudes, to resolve your problems and to develop resources for a more enriching life. Relational or couples counselling can help you repair relationships blighted by vicious arguments, affairs, mistrust, sexual issues, control, boredom or a deadening growing apart. Working with me can set your relationship back on course for better, more fulfilling times; or it can ease the difficulties of a breakup.

Life after the death of a baby can feel as though the ground has disappeared beneath your feet. Everyday things like pregnancy announcements, social media, or being around babies and young children can be intensely painful, and you may find yourself avoiding people and situations you once enjoyed. You and your partner may grieve very differently, which can create distance, misunderstandings or conflict at the time you most need each other. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious about a possible future pregnancy or whether you will be able to have a baby, counselling can offer a gentle space to begin finding your way forward.

Many struggle with relationships, identity, emotional regulation, or life transitions. Using an attachment based approach, informed by RECBT, systemic family therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and psychoanalytic thinking, I offer a consistent therapeutic relationship where clients build insight, process difficult experiences, strengthen resilience, and create healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

As a senior clinical psychologist, I view therapy as a collaborative and transformative process that enables individuals to explore their identity and personal narratives while cultivating resilience and finding meaning in their experiences. Therapy is about understanding the whole person within the context of their early experiences, values and belief system. By bringing cultural awareness, curiosity, and personal meaning into the therapeutic process, I aim to create a space grounded in respect, safety, and authenticity: where clients feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to make meaningful change.

In addition to my initial qualifications in counselling and infertility counselling, I regularly undertake additional training courses both relevant to my specialisms and to generally broaden my expertise and the range of clients I am able to support.
We all have experiences that can be difficult to carry on our own. Sometimes we need space to untangle our thoughts, understand our feelings, or simply be heard without pressure to have everything figured out. Therapy offers a place to do exactly that. Alongside my general counselling practice, I have specialist training in fertility counselling and am registered with both BACP and BICA. I have particular experience supporting people through fertility challenges, assisted conception, pregnancy and parenthood, relationship difficulties, loss, and the many transitions that life can bring.

Beyond this, I have a particular interest in supporting men navigating infertility issues - an area I have researched extensively and spent time in one of the UK's leading male infertility centres.
With warmth and curiosity, I aim to explore your experience to help you find what you need. Underlining my work is an interest in the questions that often sit underneath: Who am I? What gives me meaning? How do I want to live? These aren't abstract questions, instead uncertainty around them can drive anxiety, ‘stuckness’ and feelings of pain.

Infertility Counsellors
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.

How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.

What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.

How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
