Find a fertility awareness practitioner in your area
Practitioners listed below are trained and supported by FertilityUK to teach fertility awareness methods. Please call the appropriate clinic and ask for a fertility awareness appointment with the named practitioner. Some practitioners are health professionals working in NHS clinics and providing free services, but others work privately, please ask about their fee schedule. Practitioners are listed by geographical region from north to south. Scroll down to find your local service. Scroll straight to the bottom for Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands. If you are not able to find a practitioner in your area, you may be interested in a virtual consultation.
Virtual Consultations
It is always preferable to see a practitioner in person (particularly for the first session) but where this involves unacceptable distances then virtual consultations may be an option (e.g. Zoom or Skype with telephone/email support). Note that the effectiveness of FAMs is based on studies using face-to-face teaching and the effectiveness of distance-learning is not known. Scroll to the bottom to find a list of practitioners offering video consultations.

Can’t find a clinic?
If you are unable to find a clinic near you it may be possible to access another NHS service, but not all services can accept clients from outside their area. Many contraception and sexual health services are not aware of the demand for FAMs so either do not provide the service or are cutting existing services. If you can't find a practitioner within your area, try writing to your local service to ask why there is no provision for FAMs.
