After the Storm
Hello, I'm Sarah and I'm childless due to infertility. After my own struggles, I retrained as a trauma-informed counsellor because I was unable to find a counsellor that understood my grief. Since qualifying in 2020, I've worked exclusively with the childless community helping them process the grief and trauma to reshape themselves and their lives. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to help you decide if I'm the right fit for you, which can be booked from 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.
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.

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.

Pure Transformations by Karin Enfield-de Vries
Being childless not by choice can trigger feelings of grief. I’ve been where you are and want to help you develop strategies to cope with the emotional pain you may be feeling, so you can find new paths and ways to a fulfilled life with meaning and purpose.

Sheri Johnson
Sheri helps childless women navigate grief and triggers so they can live full lives of purpose and meaning instead of lack. After 3 miscarriages and 6 years of infertility, her coaching background and spiritual training led her to discover a process that helped her move through the emotions. It wasn’t long before she was living a life she loved. She packaged up this process into a framework that she’s been teaching in 1:1 coaching and group programs for 5 years. Sheri is a Reiki Master and Life Coach.

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.
