“Alan was an invaluable support during my long and complex fertility journey. His expertise helped me ask the right questions, make fully informed decisions and, even, challenge my clinic when I was unhappy about what took place. Of course each clinic has consultants and counsellors. But Alan has inside knowledge and he was always there for me as an independent advisor and friendly ear – supporting me through setbacks and giving me the confidence to transfer a mosaic embryo and try my luck with donor eggs. Now I have a pre-school daughter and a baby on the way. Thank you Alan! I will be forever grateful.”
“It was great to work with Alan during our IVF journey. Our sessions really helped us to develop our thinking around some of the more challenging decisions, and in particular, in knowing what questions to ask of the clinic to ensure we were getting the treatment that fit best with our lives and our priorities. These sessions really gave us the confidence to go into our appointments feeling well-informed and clear on our goals. Alan’s considerate, warm and friendly approach really made these sessions easy and enjoyable. We are really grateful for all of the support we have received along the way – thank you!”

Alan’s reassuring words, genuine empathy, and thorough explanations not only alleviated my concerns but also instilled a sense of hope and confidence in the process. Alan’s dedication in educating me about the complexities of fertility treatments, along with the emphasis on patience, was truly comforting during a time of great emotional vulnerability.”
“I would strongly recommend Alan to anyone who is about to embark on this complex journey, in this crowded space. Having someone like Alan to provide you with the encouragement, support and guidance is instrumental, and will ensure that not only you are emotionally ready but that your financial investments are made the right way.”
