It is my great privilege to be able to offer support to couples undergoing fertility treatment. This is an aspect of my work which I find really enjoying but immensely challenging, as the rate of ‘success’ – if you measure success as becoming pregnant – is much lower than the success rate of the other treatments that I offer.

But when that success comes, it is quite wonderful and I was so pleased to hear wonderful news from two of my clients this week. Obviously, until they hold their babies, they experience a great deal of worry and stress, and so I am happy to support them through this time.

Very often, little support is given to childless couples, and it really annoys me when this condition is viewed on by the NHS and others as not as an illness to be treated, but something that ultimately has to be accepted. There is a distinct absence if counselling or any psychotherapeutic help for people undergoing fertility treatment.

I have seen first hand the devastating effects this can have on couples, many finding that they spiral down into depression, due to the sadness that they feel. In this case, a large part of my work is to help them get through such a difficult time, whatever the outcome.

I am qualified to use hypnosis with couples going through fertility problems, having mean trained in the fertile body method, www.fertilebodymethod.com, so if you feel that you need some support in this area, please do get in touch on 01449 780352 or 0781 7158429, or you can email me on 0781 7158429.

Best wishes,
