Counselling, advocacy, and education for endometriosis and infertility.

Pausefully Endometriosis & Fertility Coaching

Emotional support when you need it most.

Living with endometriosis, chronic menstrual health conditions and infertility often means years of physical and emotional challenges, being dismissed and feeling unheard.

These experiences can shape thoughts, beliefs, and how your body responds to pain and stress — keeping you stuck in survival mode. Improving emotional health isn’t a “cure”, nor is it about thinking positive or ignoring reality. It means understanding how the mind and body interact so you can manage feelings rather than suppress them.

I'm here for you when life gets hard. My integrative approach, blending counselling, coaching and holistic practices, helps you process emotions, regulate your nervous system, and improve your mental health for an overall better quality of life.

This is your invitation to 'pause fully' — slow down, reconnect with who you are beyond your condition, and begin the emotional healing you deserve.

How We Can Work Together.

1

Integrative Counselling.

Being heard is part of healing.

Confidential, compassionate space for your journey with endometriosis, chronic menstrual health conditions, infertility, IVF, and medical treatments.

Explore your emotions safely, regulate your nervous system, build coping strategies, advocate for your needs, and reduce stress, burnout, and overwhelm.

2

Workplace Support.

Awareness without action isn’t enough.

Pausefully helps organisations address the hidden emotional and workplace impacts of menstrual health.

 

Awareness training, emotional health masterclasses, and 1:1 counselling help employees gain knowledge, practical tools, and personalised support — for a more inclusive and productive workplace.

3

Fully Told Podcast.

​Your story matters. It’s time we start listening.

Podcast that spotlights lived experience and expert insight — where honest conversations challenge stigma, dismantle gaslighting, build empathy and support advocacy.

Each story shared helps others feel seen, heard, and less alone, while driving progress in understanding, research, and care.

Meet Vicki, Endometriosis Counsellor, Coach & Advocate.

I’m so glad you’ve found me.

I’ve experienced firsthand the profound emotional impact of living with chronic pain, unpredictable symptoms, and infertility from endometriosis and adenomyosis. The endless medical appointments, treatments, uncertainty, and dismissal or gaslighting — alongside feelings of frustration, grief, anger, guilt, and loneliness — can be emotionally exhausting.

This journey affects everything from your decisions, relationships, sense of self, and quality of life. You deserve to feel truly seen and validated. That’s why I created Pausefully — a space to pause, let go of the need to put on a brave face, nurture your mental health, and rediscover your strength.

I work in an integrative way, blending counselling, coaching and holistic approaches to support emotional health. Everything I do is grounded in empathy, lived experience, and the belief that being heard is part of healing. My aim is to amplify voices, drive meaningful change, and free you from being defined by your condition.

Talking about what was happening has helped me focus on what I could control and gave me hope when I really needed it.

I didn’t feel comfortable sharing everything with my family or friends so it was such a relief to have someone who truly understood and could offer me the time to talk.
