Infertility Therapists in M5S

I work gently and bring openness and curiosity to our time together. I’ll walk beside you and support you whatever you're experiencing. I’ve served as a support through infertility, pregnancy loss, and birth, loss of a loved one, grief, and healing from abandonment, abuse, and neglect. I’ve supported healing relationships with food and body image and have helped through breakup and divorce. I am here to help you if you’d like to change something about your life or if you want to find more fulfilment or discover who you really are. I have a high capacity to stay present with whatever you're dealing with.

Are anxiety, depression, trauma, infertility challenges, or relationship difficulties weighing you down? Is it hard to find joy and security in your relationships, work, and thoughts? Are you tired of that constant, critical voice in your head? Does the fear of failure, rejection, or abandonment haunt you? Is your relationship or marriage plagued by fights and a lack of trust? Are you grappling with the emotional stress of infertility?

I am committed to supporting clients with histories of anxiety, depression and trauma in finding clarity, meaning and improving their overall quality of life. I also have specialized training in reproductive health and perinatal mental health and support clients moving through infertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum & beyond. I create a strong therapeutic relationship where you can process your emotions, strengthen your coping strategies and work towards your personal growth to create the life you want to live.

Is anxiety undermining your ability to enjoy yourself and feel safe in your relationships, at work, even in your own thoughts? Are you tired of feeling alert and tense all the time, not being able to stop that voice that keeps warning you of dangers and criticising your every step? Do you fear failure, rejection and abandonment? Are constant fights and lack of trust making your relationship or marriage a source of pain and frustration? Are you struggling with the emotional stress of facing infertility?

Facing a major loss challenges us to our core. We can be left feeling overwhelmed and alone, full of grief, sadness, anger or fear. I will walk alongside you on your journey through grief. Together we can rediscover how to enjoy life again, grow your reserves and resilience. By being with and experiencing our grief - be it a death, miscarriage, infertility, aging, separation/divorce - we can ultimately find joy and appreciation for our lives and relationships again.

Are you feeling burnt out, overwhelmed or anxious? Do you struggle to know/honour the true needs of your body, mind and heart? Are boundaries difficult for you? Do you wish for less stress and more balance and deeper rest?

In the midst of major life transitions, many are looking to better manage elevated levels of stress, anxiety, depression, fear and loneliness. In my practice, I help clients to become 'directors' of their own experience and to understand how behaviours that were once part of creatively adjusting to past environments may be interfering with their ability to function fully in the present moment. I help clients deepen into calm and return to a sense of aliveness within.

In psychotherapy, as in life, we grow through relationship. Our sense of self emerges in meeting the other. I offer a safe and stimulating environment in which to experience your patterns of relating, explore how you make meaning, and experiment with new ways of being.

I am Shawna - a passionate and innovative therapist who believes strong mental health is rooted in resilience and connection. Having worked exclusively with young cancer patients and their families over the past decade helped me realize that emotional pain and resilience are not mutually exclusive experiences - they live together. Through the process of recognizing and experiencing our deepest pain, fear and longing we can become better versions of ourselves. My style is empathic, intuitive, and interactive, and I uncover and guide my clients to use their untapped strengths, resilience, and potential for connection in their lives.

I provide evidence-based therapy for individuals dealing with a range of issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, assertiveness, emotion regulation (e.g., working with anger, fear, shame), executive functioning issues, family of origin issues, attachment concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, and coping with trauma. I have a special interest in helping clients cope with life transitions, such as relationship and work changes, entering parenthood, and coping with loss. I'm passionate about perinatal mental health, and supporting women as they navigate the ups and downs of pregnancy and welcoming a child into the world.

Taking the first steps to see a therapist is one of the wisest investments anyone can make in their lives. We are created with an innate ability to grow, heal and overcome. It takes courage to be vulnerable and find someone you can trust to help navigate past your pain and symptoms and help you feel free and happy again. There is nothing worse than the feeling of being stuck and experiencing the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I have been there, and this is what gives my life purpose- seeing you reach your goals and live your life to the fullest.

Some clients come to therapy because they need a chance to work through events that have had a negative influence on their wellbeing. Other clients may have never had a chance to know their own desire: what it is that they value and want out of life. Some clients come for support with a specific diagnosis, and others have a vague sense that something is just not right. Sometimes clients have found that they simply benefit from a place to focus on their own mental health.

Relational psychotherapy can be an effective tool when grappling with: anxiety, care taking/giving tendencies, narcissistic and neglectful parenting, attachment, self-sufficiency, hypervigilance, isolation, authenticity, masculinity, meaninglessness, depression, shame, complex emotional and intergenerational trauma, identity, and existential angst. My practice is informed by an attachment, trauma, and neurobiological perspective and grounded in mindfulness and empathy. Additionally, my approach considers the wider social, political and economic context of your relational world.

Accepting New Clients. When you find yourself going through a life transition, feeling anxious or depressed, or grieving a loss, you might feel confused and overwhelmed. Often our thoughts and feelings get tangled with expectations leaving us unsure about how to move forward in our lives. Together we will explore what is working for you and what parts of your self are being challenged. By developing greater self-awareness and practicing self-acceptance, you will begin to discover new ways to grow and strengthen as a person. When you know yourself better you can begin to intercept unhealthy patterns of living as they emerge.

Whether you want to come to therapy on your own, or with a spouse or family member, I strive to create a safe space for you to explore your concerns and collaboratively work towards meeting your needs and/or solving your concerns. We can meet either in the office or online, my focus will be on making you comfortable with the process, allowing you to decide what goals you want to establish for our work together and helping you through your journey.

With over 35 years in mental health and addiction services, I bring a strong mix of approaches to help you find your way forward. Integrating CBT, mindfulness, coaching, insight and body-based therapies, together we will build ways that work for you. Our therapeutic work can help you climb out of whatever difficult emotional spot you're in and build the life you're dreaming of. I believe “fit” is essential and offer a free phone consultation to help determine who is the right fit for you. We work with individuals (14 yr+), couples and poly relationships, and families.

As a clinical psychologist, my theoretical bases are developmental, psychodynamic and self-psychology theory. I strive to help my clients understand more about themselves, especially how early family dynamics, traumatic events, and major relationships of the past continue to play out throughout our lives, often in unexpected ways. Understanding the impact of these connections in terms of current concerns, be they family, career, environmental or social, can help prepare us to meet the challenges we face. Then there are more specific, targeted concerns that people have. For these concerns we turn to additional approaches.
