After the Storm
Hello, I'm Sarah and I'm a trauma-informed counsellor working online from the UK, with over five year’s experience of working exclusively with the childless community. Working through my own childlessness as a result of infertility has been a life changing journey in which I retrained as a counsellor. I can offer you a safe space to process the grief and trauma of your childlessness using trauma informed approaches that help you reframe what has happened. Book your free 30 minute consultation through my website or by email.
Apricot Lane Coaching
I am Sarah Bradley. My personal journey through childlessness is the toughest challenge I’ve faced. Coming to terms with it has been life changing. Now, as a qualified coach, I support others who are childless-not-by-choice to find new ways through the loneliness and isolation of childlessness. I can be the person who validates your feelings, giving you time and space to recognise and process your emotions. I will support you to grieve for your unborn children, find ways to move on and create a happy life without children.
Compassionate Soul Healing
I’m Jennifer, an empathic, intuitive life coach and I’m childless not by choice. I know the quiet grief, ache, and the invisible loss few truly understand. With a Master’s in Psychology and training as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring 20+ years of experience weaving trauma-informed inner child work, EFT, and energy healing into a safe, heart-centered space for you to feel, heal, and rediscover who you are beyond the pain. You’re not broken or alone. Visit my website for a free healing meditation and schedule a session.
Cristina Archetti– Psychotherapist
I am involuntarily childless and have faced first-hand the trauma and grief of infertility. The desire to help others in the same situation led me to train as a psychotherapist. I am here to support you, wherever you are in your journey, with warmth, at your own pace. I offer individual psychotherapy sessions and support groups that combine honoring our emotions (the heart) with reflections on issues that affect us as childless individuals (the mind), and strategies to improve our daily well-being (the body). I offer sessions in English or Italian.
Danielle Uphill Counselling
Hi, I’m Danielle a Counselling Psychotherapist. I work online and in Hove, UK, supporting women and men coming to terms with involuntary childlessness—whether through infertility, baby loss, IVF, or life not going as planned. Childlessness can bring a quiet grief, a sense of being out of step with the world. In our sessions, there’s space to talk, to feel, to not have all the answers. You don’t have to carry this alone or explain why it hurts. We start with where you are—and take it from there.
Embodied Possibility
Sarah Jane is a trained Coach, Grief Ritual Facilitator, and a Trauma-Informed Yoga and Meditation teacher. She offers both 1:1 coaching containers and group courses to help fellow childless folk integrate grief, rediscover joy and embody the possibility of life. If you’re ready to take the next step on this journey and would like to walk with someone who’s been down the path, she would be honoured to support you.
Embrace Your Future
Childlessness changes how we see ourselves, our relationships, and our future. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental grief coaching for those living without children, supporting you as you navigate loss, rebuild identity, and rediscover purpose. Having walked this path myself, I understand the silent grief, isolation, and deep transformation it can bring. Through gentle, guided conversations, we explore ways to move beyond pain, embrace self-compassion, and reconnect with meaning, fulfilment, and hope. My aim is to help you create a life that feels whole — in your own time, your own way.
The Empty Cradle
Sarah Roberts found there was little understanding and specialised support for women experiencing involuntary childlessness and motherhood loss. With over 25 years experience in counselling, teaching and community work (current member of the ACA) she decided to combine her professional knowledge and her lived experience to create the unique programs and rock solid strategies offered by The Empty Cradle.
Flourish Counselling
I’m Kirsten, a trauma-informed counsellor from Vancouver, BC, childless due to infertility. My own journey has taught me what it means to live with a full and open heart after loss. I offer individual counselling and support groups for others navigating similar experiences, providing a safe, compassionate space to feel less alone, reclaim joy, and rediscover meaning. I believe that while life may not unfold as we hoped, it can still be rich with passion, connection, and purpose. Together, we can find new ways to thrive with a heart that’s truly FULL.
Happy and Childless
I’m Helen Gallagher and coaching will help you understand your current situation and existing patterns of behaviour which are holding you back. We will work to uncover what is important to you across all areas of your life and we will introduce new habits, coping mechanisms and actions which will transform your day to day experience from one of low energy, frustration and hopelessness to one which is energetic, purposeful and full of excitement for the future. Coaching designed to help you move forward and embrace life again!
Life After IVF
I am Anne Altamore, founder and owner of Life After IVF Counselling, Psychotherapy and Coaching. Life After IVF provides a safe healing space for all who have disembarked the fertility treatment roller coaster. I use the term IVF as it’s the most commonly understood term for fertility treatment, however, I work with people ending all forms of fertility treatment, not just IVF. I believe it is important to acknowledge these feelings and to have a safe space to voice concerns, learn how to manage triggers, and move forward with positivity.

Shine a Light Coaching
I’m Louise Talmage, founder of Shine a Light Coaching. Living a childless-not-by-choice life takes strength and courage, even on the days it doesn’t feel that way. My experiences taught me the value of feeling seen, supported, and understood. Through compassionate, practical coaching, online or in-person, we’ll honour your uniqueness and create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and full of possibility. I will walk alongside you with empathy and encouragement to support your next chapter. Together, we can turn pain into purpose and create a future that feels like home.

Katie Maynard I feel it’s important to provide the type of therapeutic relationship that was difficult to find when I was reckoning with the fact that kids weren’t in the cards.

Masculine Matters My aim is to support men as they navigate their way through life. There are all these conflicting messages about being a “real man” but “masculinity is toxic”! Not feeling able to show emotions can lead to expressing hurt as anger, hiding at work to avoid conflict, avoiding emotional vulnerability and communication breakdowns in intimate relationships.
