I offer mental health support in staffordshire and cheshire. I work with adults who are struggling with how they are feeling, whether that is low mood, overwhelm, anxiety, or trauma. If you notice that you are not feeling like yourself, whether because of past experiences or relationships that are stopping you from living the life you want, or because you feel crippled by anxious thoughts and intrusive worries that affect how you act, therapy can help. Maybe you think you don’t need support; that you are making too much of a fuss? This is common, especially for people who don’t believe they are worthy of care and support.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, going through fertility treatment such as IVF, or making decisions around family planning, you don’t have to hold it all on your own. You might come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, grieving, uncertain, or simply in need of a space that is yours. I have specialist experience working with those affected by miscarriage, recurrent miscarriage, and baby or infant loss. These experiences can feel isolating, layered, and hard to put into words.

I specialise in working with: infertility, peri and post natal issues and post natal depression.
I am an Integrative Counsellor which means that I use different models of therapy to best suit your specific needs. Listening can be very different from truly feeling heard from knowing that someone genuinely "gets you". I offer a non-judgemental and compassionate approach, providing a safe space for you to explore and work through your concerns at your own pace. I have worked over 30 years as a counsellor within the NHS, further education and private practice. I have carried out extensive research into The Transition into Motherhood, leading me to recognise the immensity and complexity of emotions that can arise.

I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves. Sometimes there’s a clear reason for reaching out, like a relationship difficulty, loss, or life change, and sometimes it’s just a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. Many of the people I work with are used to coping on their own, but have reached a point where they would like space to talk things through and feel supported. Together, we can begin to make sense of what’s going on, explore patterns, and help you feel more grounded, understood, and able to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

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.
