Many people today feel isolated and alone in their relationships as a result of the current difficult times of the pandemic. A basic human need is to connect and the breakdown of relationships can be extremely painful. My aim is to help you grow in your relationship - to move from a state of conflict, loneliness, unhappiness to healing and connection with your partner.

If you’re here, it’s likely because you’re navigating one of the most intense and transformative times of your life—whether that’s trying to conceive, experiencing a loss, going through pregnancy, or adjusting to the early days of parenthood. It’s a journey filled with joy, anticipation, and sometimes, overwhelming challenges. You might be looking for a place where you can catch your breath, feel understood, and get the support you need. I want you to know that you’re not alone. I’ve been where you are, feeling the weight of uncertainty, the hurt, the emotional ups and downs, and the need for someone who really gets it.

A life event that destabilises us can create all range of emotions and behavioural responses without our awareness and in turn, cause additional distress to your life. When we feel threatened, challenged or overwhelmed - our thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be all consuming. Without emotional processing and resolving the distress can form unhealthy maladaptive responses and associations. Engaging in professional help to support you through these events can provide you adaptive ways to respond to your world. Be brave and reach out.

Even when things look fine on the outside, you might feel anxious, tense, disconnected, or emotionally flat. Maybe anxiety, stress, self-doubt, apathy are taking up more space than you'd like. Or maybe relationships keep repeating old patterns, leaving you feeling unseen and unsure how to express what you really need. Or perhaps you're an expat navigating change, cultural barriers, anxiety, stress, loneliness, or a quiet sense of grief. Therapy can help you find clarity, steadiness, and a deeper connection with yourself and others — not just to cope, but to shift what no longer fits.

Infertility Counsellors

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.
