Who Benefits From Fertility Counselling

Research shows that patients who have counselling during treatment have a much better experience. Fertility counselling can be helpful to any aspiring parent who is struggling with fertility challenges. If you are undergoing certain treatments, such as In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), it is a prerequisite to help prepare you for the upcoming process.

Building Emotional Resilience on Your Fertility Path

Fertility treatments can be a challenging experience, often leaving individuals and couples overwhelmed, isolated and stressed. Research has shown that individuals who undergo infertility commonly experience sadness, anxiety, irritability, loneliness, stress, and frustration in response to their situation. It’s important to know that these emotions, though painful, are natural and normal, and you don’t have to work through them alone. Partnering with a licensed therapist can help you navigate these emotions and your emotional and physical well-being. Discover how professional guidance can empower you to face fertility challenges with strength and resilience. Let us support you on your journey to parenthood.

At NewLife Fertility, our dedicated team includes registered social workers, clinical psychologists, and registered psychotherapists, all specializing in fertility counseling.

• Is Fertility Counseling Mandatory?
  Fertility counseling is a mandatory requirement for IVF and third-party reproduction or donor reproduction treatments. For other fertility treatments, while not mandatory, it is highly recommended to help provide emotional support and guidance throughout your journey.
• Can I Attend the Counseling Session Alone or with My Partner?
  Patients have the option to attend counseling sessions individually or with their partners.

This ensures that discussions and outcomes address the needs and impact on both partners, fostering mutual understanding and support throughout the journey.

  Your privacy is our priority. All general counseling sessions are protected by patient-doctor confidentiality. However, for mandatory sessions related to IVF or third-party reproduction/donor reproduction, your NewLife fertility specialist will receive a detailed report from your fertility counselor to ensure seamless communication and comprehensive care throughout your fertility journey.
