Counselling for those experiencing infertility, grief and loss and pregnancy.

Everyone’s story is uniquely individual, and I’ve created a space where you can share yours. I understand first-hand how infertility can be a huge interruption to your life. That’s why I am dedicated to supporting you through the emotions and challenges that come with fertility treatments, infertility diagnosis, and the heavy weight of grief and loss.

​

But I also know that the journey doesn’t stop there. Once you fall pregnant and bring a baby into your life, the worry and anxiety often continue. I'm here to support you through every step along the way, providing a safe and compassionate space for you to navigate both the highs and lows of your experience.

​

Trying to have a baby can feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling isolated and consumed by the process. Whether you’re just beginning to think about starting a family, facing the next steps after years of trying or considering expanding your family, I’m here to provide the guidance and support you need.

 

How Can Counselling Help?

​​

Counselling can help with:

• Depression or anxiety from your infertility treatments or diagnosis 

• Disenfranchised grief, loss or trauma from failed pregnancy attempts, unsuccessful IVF,  infertility treatments, or pregnancy miscarriage

• Difficulty in making important decisions and exploring your future options and outcomes 

• Relationship problems with your partner, friends or family

• Juggling life's demands, your health and wellbeing, career and finances

• Feeling like you are putting your career and life on hold while others around you move forward

• Managing your emotions, feelings and behaviours

• Feelings of guilt, shame, unworthiness and disappointment

• Managing your feelings towards other people's pregnancies, people with a baby and baby showers

• Feelings of anxiety during a successful pregnancy

• Difficulty in coping after a successful birth

• Decisions and options for your future family planning

​

Taking the first step to seek professional help can be daunting. Using evidence-based research and experience, I can recommend support groups, resources, and tools to help you through with kindness and empathy. Questions or concerns regarding your medical treatment will be directed to your doctor or qualified health practitioner.
