Personalised therapeutic support for women navigating IVF, donor conception, and pregnancy after loss.

Why This Space Exists

♥ The IVF journey is rarely straightforward. It can bring pressure, uncertainty, and a sense of isolation that few outside the experience truly understand. And even when pregnancy is achieved, the worry doesn’t always disappear. I know, because I’ve been through it myself.

♥ That’s why The IVF Support Space exists: a place where the emotional side of IVF, donor conception, and pregnancy after loss is fully acknowledged and supported. 

♥ Here, my professional psychotherapy expertise meets my lived IVF experience. This is a space where you can feel held, understood, and supported every step of the way by someone who truly gets it.

♥ This space exists for you.

Meet Adele!

Your therapist walking this journey beside you.

I’m Adele O’Connor, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, NLP & EFT practitioner, fertility coach, podcast host and founder fo the IVF Support Space.

Before all that, I was someone who walked the difficult road of IVF and donor conception myself.

My own journey led me to retrain, so I could offer the support I once wished I had. Clients describe me as a steady light, bringing calm, clarity and compassion when everything feels overwhelming.

Adele helped me through a very anxious and lonely time, whilst navigating IVF for my first child.

Adele supported me through two failed transfers and one successful transfer. Having Adele by my side felt so different to how I coped when navigating IVF on my own. I’m now the proud mom of gorgeous twins.

I was frightened to move away from IVFwith my own eggs to donor eggs. Adele helped me to move past the obstacles and fear that was all in my mind. I am now the proud mum at last and could not be happier.

I felt devastated when the doctors told me the only way forward to carry my own baby was via a donated egg. Adele helped me process the layers of emotions around this. I’m finally a mum to my gorgeous baby girl and couldn’t be happier.
