Infertility and its treatment is emotionally and psychologically taxing for many people. Discussing the issues with an empathetic professional can make the process less challenging.
When to Consider this Service
Any individual or couple struggling with infertility, going through treatment, or coping with a failed treatment might wish to consider a consultation with a counselor specialized in fertility issues. A complementary counselling session is included for any patient who has gone through an IVF cycle.
What to Expect During Treatment
An interactive discussion with your counsellor can help you cope with the multiple challenges of infertility. If you are in a relationship, both you and your partner are encouraged to seek counselling together. Treatment may be limited to a single session or multiple visits depending on your needs.
