About me
Georga Gorrell is an Accredited Psychotherapist (MNCPS Acc.) and BICA Fertility Counsellor. She works with individuals and couples in private practice and is the founder and therapist behind Fertility Counselling, a specialist practice supporting clients across the fertility journey.
Georga supports clients navigating trying to conceive (TTC), infertility, fertility treatment, IVF, pregnancy and reproductive loss, donor conception, fertility preservation, solo parenthood, uncertainty around parenthood and complex reproductive decisions.
Fertility can affect far more than the immediate experience itself. It can bring questions of identity, relationships, the body, uncertainty, loss and the future into focus. Therapy can offer support through what is happening now, as well as space to process what has been experienced and what the journey may have brought to the surface.
Georga also provides implications counselling for individuals and couples considering donor conception, surrogacy and other reproductive pathways, offering space to explore the emotional, relational and future considerations involved and make informed decisions that feel right for them.
How Georga Works
Georga's approach is compassionate, relational and tailored to the individual. She works integratively, drawing on attachment theory, relational and psychodynamic thinking, depth psychology, grief theory and trauma-informed practice.
Some clients seek focused support around a particular treatment, loss, period of uncertainty or decision. Others choose longer-term therapy to explore experiences, relationships and patterns in greater depth. The work is shaped around what feels most helpful for the individual or couple.
As an independent fertility counsellor, Georga is partnered with Cambridge IVF, part of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and The LUNA Clinic, a private gynaecology practice on Harley Street, London.
All appointments are currently offered online across the UK.
