What is Fertility + Pregnancy Counselling?
Becoming a parent can be a meaningful time that brings both joy and stress when unexpected challenges arise. We understand the emotional weight of fertility treatments and how deeply devastating it can be when there is a pregnancy loss. Therapy can offer compassionate and comforting space, during these unknown times.
Fertility + Pregnancy counselling can help with:
- Offering a safe space of you and your partner(s) to open up and express how you’re feeling about fertility treatments, conceiving, pregnancy or parenthood
- Learning how to manage stress, anxiety about decision-making, conception, pregnancy, parenting or the effectiveness of treatments
- Managing the worries and uncertainties of outcomes and timelines for becoming a parent
- Feelings of sadness, hopeless, grief, loss or despair
- Emotional distress and mourning related to unsuccessful fertility or pregnancy loss
- Feeling helplessness and out of control over the reproductive process
- Stress over the demands of the fertility treatments
- Supporting communication between you and you partner(s), helping you to express your feelings, concerns and expectations openly and constructively
- Isolation and loneliness, low self-esteem or self-worth
- Identity struggles with parenthood or feelings of failure
- Body image concerns or negative feelings appearance during the changes
- Exploring the mind-body connection to emotional and physical wellbeing
- Understanding hormonal changes, changes in libido or sexual desire, and discomforts with or pain during sex
- Injecting intimacy, spontaneity, passion and playfulness into your relationship, especially if your intimate life has become overly routine or scheduled
How does Fertility + Pregnancy counselling work at Bliss?
- At Bliss, we believe your counselling should be as unique as you are. We’ll begin by getting you matched with the perfect therapist, someone you really “click” with. When you know, you know.
- Then, you’ll get started with your initial session. During this appointment (virtual or in person), you’ll share what’s been happening and how your therapist can be of support. You’ll leave with more insight into yourself and ways you can begin to relieve stress.
- From here, you and your therapist will create a custom path to feeling more peace. After each session, you’ll leave feeling more in control over your reproductive journey.
- Sometimes, fertility and pregnancy counselling can provide insight into other areas of your life that may need to be further exploration. Your therapist will work with you to clear anything getting in the way of you living a blissful life.
