Psychotherapy for pregnancy loss and fertility treatment.
It is real. It is yours.
This room was made for this experience.
Psychotherapist
This work is not about having answers. It is about making room for what is hard.
We stay close to what you are experiencing, and make sense of it in a way that fits your life. My training is in Systemic Family Therapy, alongside a degree in Psychology and a Master's in Clinical Psychology. I also completed advanced training in sexual health, gender, and relationships at the ÖGS Sexualakademie in Vienna.
This work often moves around pregnancy loss, fertility journeys, and the moments when the relationship with your body begins to shift. It can include medical experiences that leave a mark, uncertainty that doesn't settle, tension in relationships, and forms of grief that are not always visible or recognized.
Miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons. Loss at any stage, including loss that was not publicly known.
The emotional weight of IVF, IUI, and other assisted conception. The cycles, the waiting, the decisions that have no easy answer.
When the body does not do what you expected. When medical experiences change how you feel in yourself, and who you thought you were.
Loss that is not named or held by those around you. Grief that exists alongside hope, or that returns long after others have moved on.
The distance that can open between partners, or within yourself, when you are living through something this hard.
Living without knowing what comes next. Diagnoses, outcomes, next steps. Finding a way to stay present inside that.
You don't need to explain everything at once.
The following outlines how we work together: the structure of sessions, what to expect, and how your information is held. Please take a few minutes to read it before we begin.
Each session is 50 minutes. Sessions begin and end at the agreed time. If you arrive late, the session will still end at the scheduled time. Payment can be made at booking, or at the start or close of each session, by credit or debit card. Two months of notice will be given for any changes to fees.
48 hours of notice is required if you cannot attend. With less than 48 hours of notice, every effort will be made to find an alternative time that week. If no alternative is possible, the session fee remains due.
When possible, three weeks of notice is given before either of us ends the work. This allows space for a considered ending.
Everything you share is held in confidence. I meet with a clinical supervisor as part of my professional practice, and I do not use full client names in that context. I do not provide medical or legal reports.
You are free to end therapy at any time. You are also free to seek a second opinion from another professional whenever you feel that would be useful. Neither of these requires explanation.
Therapy often means sitting with things that are uncomfortable. It may bring up feelings or memories you were not expecting, and the process does not always move in a straight line. This is a normal part of the work, and something we can speak about directly if it arises.
If at any point I feel that a different approach or a different therapist would serve you better, I will say so. We can discuss what that might look like, and any transition would be handled with care.
Psychotherapy is recommended for a minimum of six sessions. Many clients continue well beyond that. We will review the work together regularly, and you are welcome to ask for a review at any point.
Notes are held for ten years after therapy ends, in line with the Data Protection Act 2018, which specifies that records are kept for as long as is necessary.
This work is governed by GDPR. Your information is held and handled accordingly, and the same applies to how I manage my records and practice.
All data is destroyed ten years after therapy ends.
