Fertility, Birth and Beyond - Berkshire Therapist

Hello and Welcome. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

The fact that you’ve made it to my page means that you’re looking for help and you’ve come to the right place. You don’t need to know what you want or need just yet, you just need to want to find some help and I can help you fill the rest in.

Fertility

Wherever you are on your fertility journey, sometimes you need some extra support to get through. Some women seem to breeze through, planning their family and everything running like clockwork from beginning to end. But for some women though, sadly that’s not the case. For some, the process of becoming pregnant is a difficult one. Perhaps you’ve tried for years and nothing is happening. If the tests haven’t found any cause or reason not to conceive it can be so frustrating or perhaps they’ve shown that there are problems and you’re trying to come to terms with the news.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy should be a joyous time but for some women, it can be a time of anxiety. For whatever reason, you may feel more anxious than usual or have fears relating to some aspect of pregnancy that simply won’t go away.

Birth Reflection/Birth Trauma

New mums sometimes find that although they’re wanting to focus on their baby, they feel stuck because of the birth they experienced. Perhaps things didn’t go according to plan or you felt like you’d lost control.

Busy Mums

And then there are busy mums who are running around looking after everyone and putting them all first but actually they’re on their knees, feeling lost and exhausted and stuck in a rut. If this is you, you’re probably so far down the list that you’re not even on it!

Is it the right time to seek support?

It could be that you’re just starting to experience some feelings that you might need some support with or it might be that you are in the thick of it and have been trying to deal with it for a while. Whatever you’re struggling with, chances are you’re keeping it to yourself because when it comes to having a family, people tend to only focus on the good stuff. There’s an expectation that you’ll just crack on and do it and its all lovely and quite frankly, for many women, this is far from the case!

You have no idea how long these things will last, whether they will get better or even worse. You don’t know if it’s normal or something to be worried about. It all feels overwhelming and you just want to feel like you, just like it seems everyone else does.

Maybe you’re worried about telling your family about how you’re feeling or what you’re coping (or struggling) with. Perhaps you feel like it’s creeping into all aspects of your life and that this is just how it is going to be from now on.

You want to feel differently; you want to feel like you thought you would or perhaps want to come to terms with what’s happening, feel in control of your life and your emotions.

I understand this because I’ve worked with women like you!

The good news is there is help and it can get better.

Just imagine…

Finding the support you need to help you to deal with those feelings, release any negative associations with the past that may be stopping you from enjoying where you are now or achieving your dream or simply taking some space to breathe.

How would it feel to take back control and not feel like your difficulties are controlling you?

There are elements of your fertility journey that you can’t control, but equally that doesn’t mean that you have to just put up with the consequences of it.

i want you to know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. How do I know? Because I’ve helped many women just like you who are struggling and the good news is that I can help you too!

How can I help???

Take a look at the pages below and there’s more information there but this isn’t everything that I can help with so if you’re struggling and can’t find it listed below, chances are it’s still something that I can help with.

I can help you learn to manage and deal with how you’re feeling. Now, I’m not offering you a magic wand but I can offer you my toolkit of support, knowledge and experience to help you get your spark back or feel more in control of what’s happening to you.

I work with a variety of tools to help you. If you’d like try hypnotherapy, don’t worry if you’ve not had or experienced it before or are worried that it won’t work for you or I might use it to do strange things to you….it really is an amazing tool (plus I’ll be incorporating other things as well), all you need to do is close your eyes and breathe and it will already be working and helping you make those changes you desperately want to make.

Also, it may be that hypnotherapy isn’t the right thing for you and if I think that something else will be more suited to you, I’ll let you know.

In the meantime while you’re mulling this over and deciding that it’s just the thing you need to help you why not take a look at these Affirmations for fertility, pregnancy, birth and beyond to help you. Your self-talk is just as important in helping you change how you feel as other factors. Have a look at these Affirmations and find one that resonates with how you want to feel. Use it daily to help you achieve those feelings. Even if you’ve never tried them before, give it a go because your mindset is massively important in how you feel.
