All of us face challenges in the stresses and strains of our busy lives. Finding time to reflect and stay in touch with ourselves can be one of the hardest things to do, yet the rewards of making this space can be transformative. For many, therapy becomes a pathway to greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and more fulfilling relationships.
As a humanistic psychotherapist and counsellor, I believe each person is unique, with their own individual way of being in the world. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental environment where you can explore difficulties, recognise unhelpful patterns, and build greater self-acceptance and confidence.
Psychotherapy and Counselling with Alegra Druce
MBACP (Registered)
Infertility Counselling and Fertility Support
I have a special interest in supporting women and couples experiencing infertility, fertility challenges, undergoing fertility treatment, donor gamete treatment, surrogacy and adoption.
My own long journey to motherhood — through infertility, IVF, and ultimately adoption, gives me a deep personal understanding of the emotional and relational impact of fertility issues, in addition to my training with the British Infertility Counselling Association. I bring this empathy and insight to my work with clients, helping them to process complex emotions such as grief, loss, guilt, or isolation, and to reconnect with a sense of self, hope and agency.
In our work together, I can support you to:
- Navigate the emotional ups and downs of fertility treatment
- Make space for grief, uncertainty, or feelings of failure
- Rebuild confidence and trust in your body
- Strengthen communication and intimacy within relationships
- Explore paths to healing, whatever the outcome of your fertility journey

- Anxiety and stress
