Take a proactive approach to your fertility.
Fertility Counselling Services at Your Story Counselling
At Your Story Counselling, I offer fertility counselling to support individuals and couples on their journey to conception. Whether you are just beginning to consider having a baby or are already navigating fertility challenges, fertility counselling can provide the emotional support needed.
​
I understand that fertility is not just about the physical & medical aspects; it also involves emotional, psychological, and lifestyle considerations. My fertility counselling service aims to help you prepare for the journey ahead. We address both the emotional and practical aspects of fertility, prepare you emotionally for pregnancy, manage stress, and consider your options and decisions.
If you are having trouble with fertility, I will help you with emotional support. Please note I will always refer you back to your fertility specialist for any medical concerns and advice.

What is Fertility Counselling?
Fertility counselling is a type of therapy. It helps individuals and couples at any stage of trying to conceive.
​
If you are trying to get pregnant naturally, using IVF, or looking into surrogacy, embryo adoption or donation, donor egg or sperm, then fertility counselling can help. It can support you with the emotional and mental parts of this journey. Also, it benefits those who want to take a proactive approach to conception.
​
How Can I Help You?
​
Fertility counselling covers a range of areas to support you on your path to parenthood:
​
Emotional and Psychological Preparation for Pregnancy: Getting ready for pregnancy is not only about physical health. It also includes being emotionally ready. I help you and your partner with any fears, concerns, or expectations about conception. This way, you can be mentally ready for the journey ahead.
​
Lifestyle Changes: I provide guidance and resources on lifestyle changes that may support your reproductive health. This includes advice on nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management. I don’t provide medical advice, but I can work with you to create a healthy lifestyle that complements your medical care.
​
Understanding Reproductive Options: Fertility counselling helps you look at your choices for having children. This includes assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, egg or sperm donation, embryo adoption and other family-building methods like surrogacy. I help you understand each option’s emotional, psychological, and practical considerations so you can make informed decisions.
​
Managing anxiety and stress related to conception: Fertility treatments involve navigating a journey filled with anxiety and uncertainty. If you are dealing with infertility or the stress of medical treatments, I offer ways to cope. My strategies help you manage stress, reduce anxiety, and keep your emotional well-being during this time.
​
Exploring Other Ways to Build a Family: If you are thinking about surrogacy or adoption, fertility counselling can help. It provides emotional support and guidance as you look into different ways to create your family. I help you address the complex emotions surrounding these options and ensure you are prepared for the journey ahead.
