Trying to conceive can quietly take over everything: your calendar, your body, your relationship, your hope. Virtual fertility counselling gives you a place to set some of that weight down, from home, at a time that works for you.
I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (BCACC) and birth doula offering online sessions to individuals 19+ and couples anywhere in British Columbia, on weekday evenings and Sundays.

What fertility counselling can help with
I draw on somatic, compassion-focused and person-centred approaches, so our work makes room for both your story and what your body is holding. You set the pace. Some people come for support through one treatment cycle; others want steady support over months.
Partners are welcome. Couples sessions can help you understand each other's experience when you're coping in different ways, or create plans on how to prioritize your relationship through every phase of conception & fertility treatments.
How we'll work together
Common questions
Do I need to be in fertility treatment to book?
No. Online fertility counselling is for anyone trying to conceive or thinking about it. You could be just starting your conception journey, years into it, taking a full break from trying, doing medical treatments, or working with energetic healing practices to support your fertility. Your experiences and choices are all valid, and you deserve support if you desire it.
Is virtual counselling as helpful as in-person?
For many people, yes. Meeting from home can feel safer and is easier to fit around appointments, work and the emotional ups and downs of treatment. I personally love virtual therapy because immediately after I am done, I can immediately practice self care without a commute home.
Are Virtual Therapy sessions covered by insurance?
Yes, sessions are covered by most extended health plans that include Registered Clinical Counsellors. You'll receive a receipt after each session to submit to your plan. Sliding scale spots may be available; ask during your consultation.
