If you have had problems conceiving, you will be only too aware of the stress and anxiety that this can cause. All around you it seems that there are women who get pregnant effortlessly, and experiencing difficulty in this area can lead to deep feelings of inadequacy and distress, as well as the intense sadness felt in contemplating a life without children.

These days there are many medical interventions that can be carried out, including hormonal treatment and IVF (in-vitro fertilisation), but there tends to be a focus on the clinical side of fertility treatment, with a lack of thought given to mental well-being.

As somebody who has been through the trauma of IVF myself, I am acutely aware of how this type of treatment can be incredibly stressful and it is my view that this level of stress can possibly impact in a negative way with regard to the chance of conception. There is little offered in terms of counselling and support, and very often couples can feel that they are on an emotional roller coaster.

I can offer a structured plan of hypnotherapy treatment which offers real support to couples undergoing fertility treatment, in order that (whatever the outcome) they can feel supported throughout the process and emotionally, as well as physically, they are able to be as positive and balanced as they can possibly be.

I can offer you help and support at every stage of treatment, starting from the early stages, right through to (if you are going through IVF) egg collection and embryo implantation, and then during the waiting time which comes afterwards. This can often be the most stressful time, when emotions are fraught, so support is vital at this stage.

If you are having problems conceiving, and you would like to find out how hypnotherapy could help you, call me to make an appointment for an initial consultation.
