Psychological Support for Patients

The feelings associated with trying for a baby and going through treatment can be profound, and difficult to deal with alone. We offer psychological counselling from an expert team, right from your initial appointment to the time you meet your baby. Your mental health is as much a part of the fertility journey as anything else.

Looking out for you

It’s a deeply emotional time when you feel ready to start or add to your family, and any hurdles you encounter can be hard to take. Unfortunately, many people will experience some obstacles on their fertility journey, adding stress and anxiety to everyday life. Our counselling and psychological support services are designed to help you navigate every aspect of the process, prioritising your health and wellbeing.

Counselling can help you form positive mental health strategies to cope with the difficulties you may face, while also ensuring you feel supported and heard. We can help you manage your anxiety and stress, and assist you throughout your pregnancy to help you prepare for the arrival of your baby.

For some, fertility treatment may carry with it some negative stigma; however, it has become very common with time and with more people opening themselves up to it. It takes bravery to seek some help from fertility specialists, and it is our promise that you will be valued and looked after throughout your journey. Working with our trained counselling team is all about ensuring the best possible outcomes for you and your family during and after your fertility treatment.

Our counselling service

Anyone who is about to undergo fertility treatment or IVF will be required to have some counselling from our team to help them understand the situations they are likely to go through physically and emotionally, and to discuss any concerns or questions. We recommended engaging in supportive counselling as well throughout the process. Counselling is also required for those planning on using a donor or surrogate as part of their treatment.

Beyond this, counselling is also strongly recommended to those who have decided to end their fertility treatment. We know this is a deeply hard decision to make, and we are committed to talking through every viable option with you, and supporting you no matter what you decide.

How else can we help?

Psychological counselling forms just one part of our approach to supporting you on your fertility journey.

To help ensure your wellbeing, we offer a variety of resources and support options.

Complementary Therapies

Alternative therapies can help to bolster overall health, relieve stress and improve your wellbeing. These therapies may not directly tie in to your chances of becoming pregnant, but they can significantly boost your personal welfare, making the fertility process easier to go through. Explore complementary therapy options.

Patient Resources

It’s almost impossible to keep track of all the information that relates to pregnancy and fertility. Our resources page puts all of the key information together for you to check out whenever you need, or to learn more about fertility in general. Get in contact with us if you have any questions or need some assistance.

Fertility Health Check

To best understand your current fertility situation, we take a complete medical history from each patient, before getting a sense of your lifestyle, general health and how long you have been trying. We can assess your fertility health and help create the right program for you to become pregnant.

We're with you

Trying for a baby is a unique and personal journey, and we understand that it can come with ups and downs. Our fertility team is dedicated to creating a treatment and care plan tailored to your personal situation, and being with you through each step.
