The starting point
30-minute discovery call
30 minutesComplimentary
A calm, unhurried call. You tell me where you are, I ask the questions that matter, and we decide together whether and how to work more closely. No sales pitch. No pressure.
Fertility coaching — London
A quieter conversation about fertility.
I'm Linda Carter. For twenty years I've worked one-to-one with women and couples who want honest, unhurried fertility guidance — and who are usually tired of the loud version of this conversation.

Where this usually begins
If you've been trying for a while and are starting to run out of answers, this is a good place to begin.
You don't need another programme. You need a calm conversation with someone who's done this long enough to know what matters for you, specifically.
What happens on the call
Thirty minutes, plainly structured.
Tell me what's on your mind.
No prep needed. We talk plainly — what's been tried, what's worrying you, what you're hoping for.
I'll ask the questions that matter for your situation.
Twenty years of one-to-one practice means I know which threads usually matter and which usually don't.
We decide together — or we don't.
If working more closely makes sense, I'll explain how. If it doesn't, I'll say so. There's no follow-up unless you want one.
The call is complimentary, by phone or video. Whatever's easier for you.
A note on fit
I take a limited number of clients each month, on purpose.
I work with
- Women trying to conceive for twelve months or more, with or without a clinical diagnosis.
- Couples after a failed IVF cycle who need a calm place to think about what's next.
- People with a complex picture — PCOS, endometriosis, male factor, recurrent loss, hyperthyroidism.
- Anyone tired of the loud version of this conversation, who wants honest input from someone who's done the work for two decades.
I'm not the right fit for
- First-month-of-trying nerves. If you've been trying for less than six months, your GP is the right call before me.
- Anyone looking for a guaranteed outcome. I cannot promise pregnancy and I won't pretend otherwise.
- Quick-fix protocols and supplement stacks. I work alongside clinical care, not in place of it.
- People who'd rather be told what to do than thought about as a person. The work is one-to-one because that's the only way it works.
How I work
Four ways in — starting with a conversation.
For a single, focused conversation
Two-hour intensive
Two hoursFixed feeWe take stock properly. Medical history, timing, what's been tried, what hasn't. You leave with a specific plan and the clarity to act on it.
For a considered first step
One-month programme
One monthFixed feeFour weeks of working together: an initial intensive, follow-up calls, and me on the other end of your questions in between. For when a single session isn't enough but a full programme is more than you need.
For sustained, ongoing support
Three-month programme
Three monthsFixed feeThe deepest version of this work. Regular sessions, a plan we revise together as your body tells us things, and unhurried access to twenty years of clinical experience while you're trying to make sense of all of it.

Emotional support
[TBC][TBC][PLACEHOLDER — confirm with Linda what this programme is. Possibilities: ongoing pay-as-you-go emotional support for women already in treatment elsewhere; bereavement and loss support; a parallel programme to the one- and three-month structure. Copy and pricing to be set during the content workshop.]
I am not the sort of man who finds talking about my feelings easy, especially after being diagnosed with male factor infertility. I pretended to my partner I was ok but inside I was crumbling. I found Linda through a friend and she provided me with a place to express any and all of my feelings, no matter what they were.
Wherever you are in this, there is a calm way through — and you don't have to figure it out on your own.
About Linda
I've been doing this since the mid-2000s.
I trained through the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and spent years adding the things patients actually needed alongside medicine — acupuncture, nutrition, counselling.
I work one-to-one now, from London and online. I take on a limited number of clients each month on purpose.

On male factor infertility, and why it shouldn't be a footnote
Half the equation. Half the conversations. It deserves the other half.

When the advice stops helping, and what to do next
A note on the difference between reading more and listening for what actually matters for you.
An honest note
I cannot guarantee that you will get pregnant. I can promise that if you commit to following my suggestions, you will feel healthier, have a clear strategy to follow, and will feel more prepared to cope with whatever comes your way.

Say hello
Write, and I'll write back.
A short message is fine. Nothing you tell me is shared with anyone.
