Infertility Counselling in London

I have 15 years of experience and have worked in a variety of settings across the lifespan in both public and private sectors. My roles were not limited to clinical work but also at a management level such as being the Supervisor and Training Manager at an eating disorders facility and head of a disability department at a school. I have extensive experience in different presentations: OCD, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, relationship issues, and psychological assessments. I am recognised by Bupa Global, Aviva and WPA.

I have worked with issues such as relationships, depression and anxiety, bereavement and loss, family, childhood experiences, gender and cultural identity, infertility and significant life changes such as losing a job or relocation. I have worked for many years for the NHS and in private setting. I work with individuals, couples and family members. I am a qualified and experienced generic, DIT and Infertility supervisor.

I am trained to help others cope with emotional and social issues which can affect people of all ages. You may be suffering from anxiety or depression, have relationship problems, low self-esteem, have been bereaved or be dealing with other difficult events. Counselling provides you with a chance to talk about your feelings and experiences in a safe place with someone who will listen to and support you. I will seek to understand, not judge and will work with you to make sense of your situation and make changes that improve your life. I work with both individuals and couples.

I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, Trauma Therapist and Specialist Infertility Counsellor, specialising in working with women. I have over 15 years experience of working in the field of mental health. I work with women who have experienced trauma (in all forms), PTSD and other distressing life events. I also work with women who are struggling with infertility, baby loss and involuntary childlessness.

I view therapy as a collaborative enterprise between client and therapist, with the shared goal of gaining understanding and facilitating a process of acceptance or change. In recognising that we are all unique, each with our own beliefs, values and attitudes about ourselves, others, and the world, I believe that it is important to tailor therapy to the individual needs of my clients. I work with a range of psychological theories and approaches, including Existential-phenomenological therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement therapy, providing both short and longer-term therapy, where appropriate.

As an integrative counsellor, I use a range of approaches and models. I will work with you to help you to explore whatever life issues you may be struggling with. Our sessions gives you the opportunity to discuss your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a non-judgemental and confidential space. I will give you time to work out how to best cope with what you are facing, to come to terms with the past as well as to explore ways to improve your relationships. I will support you but also at times challenge you so that you can honestly evaluate and clarify what really matters to you.

For many years, I have been working successfully with people who want to regain their sense of emotional ease in times of difficulty; people who, unsurprisingly, have found it hard to deal with and resolve their emotional difficulties alone. I work with people suffering from anxiety of all kinds, stuggles with loss, low feelings, difficulties in relationships and reactions to trauma.

Infertility impacts 1 in 6 couples, it is life changing and isolating. Losing a baby is devastating, no matter how far along. The fear of never achieving parenthood, ever-present. Childlessness is a grief few understand and yet 1 in 5 women remain childless, the large majority, involuntarily. Wondering if / when, to change direction, to continue pursuing parenthood or not, can leave you feeling overwhelmed. I am a psychotherapist, supporting women and men who are struggling with pregnancy loss; infertility; IVF, potentially using Donor Eggs; Sperm or Embryos as well as childlessness and associated secondary losses.

Specialist fertility counsellor supporting people trying to conceive, naturally or with assistance, experiencing primary or secondary infertility and people who have experienced pregnancy loss. Tracey also provides implications counselling around donor conception and/or surrogacy and for people exploring their fertility options including egg freezing or embracing being involuntarily childless or a childless step parent, or where eggs, sperm or embryos remain after a treatment journey ends. Fertility counselling can also be useful for those supporting a friend or family members experiencing fertility issues.

Hi, I am Roberta, a psychologist providing psychological support to individuals and couples dealing with emotional distress, self-esteem issues, relationship problems, and infertility treatments. My goal is to offer professional guidance to those seeking coping strategies, healthier relationships, and a positive self-image. I have worked with hundreds of individuals and couples navigating significant life transitions, including infertility treatments, medically assisted reproduction (e.g., IVF, donor conception), pregnancy, and the transition to parenthood during my Ph.D. completion in a hospital.

I am passionate about empowering clients to develop or strengthen their own sense of agency in the world, so that they feel in control. In order to do this, I work collaboratively with clients rather than acting as an expert. I walk alongside my clients in their therapeutic journey, rather than taking the lead and instructing which can at times feel disempowering. Whilst I use my knowledge and expertise to help clients consider new ways of viewing the world and offer guidance on ways they may consider changing their behaviours to better suit their needs, I do not act as an "expert" as I believe each person knows themselves best.

If you are suffering because of a bereavement or a loss in your life (a breakup, chronic illness, infertility, miscarriage, financial instability), feeling sad about your present state or anxious about the future, I can help you go through your emotional and psychological difficulties, exploring together patterns and how these can be changed, so you can live your present with joy and love for yourself and the people you care about most. My extensive experience and warm approach has helped many people to live a fulfilled life, finding purpose and grow around their losses.

I offer a balanced set of approaches that I can apply to suit your needs. Some people are better helped with insights into their patterns; others may need more skills and again others may feel they do everything right yet they are still unhappy. I strongly believe in trying out new behaviour, as this creates the biggest shifts and minimizes relapse. I integrate lifestyle factors such as nutrition when necessary. When the chemicals aren't right, talking isn't going to lift your mood. We will always explore the source of your issues, relating it to your system, so as to radically release and uproot it and make change more effortless.

Perhaps you feel lost and upset that things are out of your control, you might be interested in counselling for something specific such as Anxiety, Depression, self-esteem/confidence, bereavement, anger and/ or you may be looking for longer-term psychotherapy. You might find yourself withdraw from people you love and having the impression no one can understand your pain. You might be at this stage of your life that you are seeking a new identity or the previous roles/ priorities you had in your life don’t satisfy you anymore.

My initial interest in Existential therapy was informed by my personal and professional experiences. Throughout the years I have explored diverse ways of supporting my clients, looking to improve their emotional and spiritual balance. Existential therapy encapsulates all my core beliefs about the therapeutic process and the powerful therapeutic connection between psychology and philosophy. It is anchored in the lived experiences (not their theoretical representation) and their relational context. It relates to human existence and predicaments, our choices and responsibilities, meaning and purpose, freedom and limitations.
