Do I want to have children?

  Whether you are in a relationship or single, heterosexual or lesbian,

  the decision whether to have children or not is the biggest decision

  of your life. As a life coach, I can help you to work through some of the issues you may be dealing with in making this decision. Some of the questions which my clients are struggling with include:

•Is now the right time to start a family?

•I’m happy with my life now – do I really want it to change?

•My partner doesn’t want a baby but I do.

•What will be the impact on my career/finances/lifestyle?

•I’m single and I don’t know whether I want to go it alone.

•I think I want to remain childfree but I’m finding it hard to

  resist the pressure by friends and family to have children.

•I've found I've had problems with my fertility and don't know

  whether I want to actually try for a baby with fertility

  treatment or choose to be childfree.

Through using coaching techniques and exercises, I aim to anchor you in your values, dreams and aspirations, helping you to move forward on the path that is right for you. Click here to find out more about how I work.

Here's how one client found coaching helpful on the baby decision:

“I cannot recommend Beth highly enough. I initially came to

coaching because I was struggling with the decision on whether to have a baby. I did not feel that I had friends and family who would have discussed this topic with me without having their own agenda. Beth was just what I needed – she was very supportive but provided guidance in a completely neutral way. I eventually understood that the dilemma was actually a reflection of larger issues in my life, and we went about tackling those first. I completed coaching with greater insight on a number of areas in my life, in addition to clarifying the baby decision.” (Crystal)
