Fertility Support Hub

Counselling

The London Women’s Clinic has counselling available for all patients and donors; counselling for support is available before, during and following any treatment or donation.

Implications counselling is available to explore your treatment plans, your wider family and any child conceived following treatment or donation. It is also available to ensure you are comfortable with all your consent forms, especially around legal parenthood.

You can contact your nursing team to receive a recommended list of counsellors for you to arrange to see.

Dedicated Two Week Wait Support and Coaching

We recognise that following your treatment it can be an emotional roller-coaster whilst you wait to take your pregnancy test. With this in mind, our dedicated Patient Care Coordinator team are available to answer any questions you may have. If you would find it beneficial to receive a support call or arrange a counselling session during this time please do reach out to your Patient Care Coordinator or local team who can arrange this for you.
