Fertility counsellingYou had pictured this so differently: in your mind you would find the love of your life, the person you would love to start a family with. You had already pictured you two with your child(ren). After trying for a while your patience seems to make room for frustration. Why is this not happening for you? Sometimes falling pregnant isn't such a natural process. Failing attempts to conceive can cause severe stress on a person and on the couple. At this stage you might be confronted with challenging decisions: Hormones? IVF? This could increase the levels of stress even further which can cause strain on the relationship. We can help you to cope with your stress levels in a healthier and more effective way and help you to reconnect instead of disconnect.

What do we offer? |
Our clinical psychologist Selma has a full understanding of the options of fertility treatment and the emotional roller-coaster during the fertility treatment. Even if you haven't decided to start treatment we can offer a place to reflect, discuss and receive advice on the best pathway for you.
During your sessions you are invited to discuss your experiences and struggles. You can come individually or with your partner, depending on your preference. We will offer support, guidance and advice in your process of ups and downs, hope and disappointment. We will provide you with effective strategies for getting through this process as good as possible. We will reflect on your situation and advice you about what we believe would be helpful for you (and your partner). |
