Infertility Psychologists and Therapists in Coogee, NSW
Welcome, I'm Kel. Whether in person or online, sharing the most vulnerable parts of yourself can feel daunting. I know, because I've been there too. That's why I want you to know who I am and how I can support you, before we even meet, so you can arrive with your mind and heart a little more at ease.
I believe you don't need to be "fixed" because you were never broken. Life is messy, relationships are complex, and feelings are big, that's not a problem to solve, it's the human experience that we all navigate. Understanding who we are at our core so we can decide what parts of us to let go, and which to water and grow is key.

I’m an experienced Psychologist and Psychotherapist with a special interest in grief/loss, childhood loss of parent, sexuality/gender, persistent depression/anxiety, trauma, and fertility/surrogacy. People who find me tend to have either tried other approaches which have not worked long-term, or they want to work at the level of the root cause which tends to have better long-term outcomes. My approach is trauma-informed and psychodynamic, meaning I pay close attention unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours which maintain difficulties.

Infertility Therapists
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
