Preconception Counselling

Preparing for pregnancy is a meaningful time to explore your hopes, worries, and wellbeing before conception. It’s a chance to connect deeply with yourself, tune into your emotional and mental health, and create a foundation of support as you get ready for the journey ahead into motherhood.

Understanding the Preconception phase

The time before pregnancy can bring up unexpected feelings and changes. This phase is about tuning into yourself, your relationships, and your mental health to prepare for pregnancy in a way that feels empowering and supportive.

How Counselling can Help

Through compassionate, trauma-informed counselling, I offer a safe space to explore your feelings, fertility concerns, and any past experiences. Together, we’ll build resilience and confidence so you can approach pregnancy feeling held and understood.

Preconception support can cover:

  • Exploring your readiness and hopes for pregnancy

  • Navigating fertility challenges and emotions

  • Understanding early shifts in identity and matrescence

  • Identifying your goals and values for motherhood

  • Preparing your emotional wellbeing for pregnancy

  • Strengthening relationships and support systems

I would like to acknowledge the land on which I reside and work is the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation and I pay my respects to elders past, present and future. I also acknowledge that their cultural and spiritual connection to land is still as important to the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people today.
