IVF Counselling and Trauma Support
A failed pregnancy and the inability to conceive often lead to grieving. The focal point in my reproductive counselling practice is assisting women and couples who experience trauma because of a miscarriage, need support to make decisions about, or are undergoing In Vitro Fertilisation. I am Suzanne Hurley, and I assist those enduring fertility related distress that includes IVF counselling.

You need not go through difficult conception / pregnancy , birth, or post-partum depression alone. I am a specialised fertility and perinatal counsellor, clinical practitioner, and supervisor. I support my clients in a collaborative, fertility-based practice so they can make the decisions about their support that is best suited to their needs and circumstances.
I provide guidance and support during individual and couple counselling sessions regarding matters associated with life challenges such as reproduction, contemplating pregnancy, unintended pregnancy, expecting a baby, living with a baby, and the end of your reproductive cycle.
I also facilitate the Circle of Security relationship-based early intervention program to enhance attachment security for parents and infants dealing with connection difficulties and caregivers who wish to ensure they meet their children’s closeness needs. I can help you relate with your child and build a strong, lifelong bond.
Why not book a session if you experience health issues affecting fertility or wish to prepare for IVF therapy by exploring options or procuring support? So too, if you face a change in your situation during pregnancy, need to prepare for birth, or must cope with termination for psycho-social or medical reasons.
Let me assist if you fear the pregnancy, birth, and parenting process - possibly due to a previous perinatal experience - or are in a challenging relationship that leaves you feeling unsafe or overburdened by power and control issues.
I am a member and accredited supervisor allied with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, & The Australasian Association of Supervisors, an affiliate of the National Association of Abortion and Pregnancy Options Counsellors, belong to the, Australian and New Zealand Infertility Counsellor’s Association, and the Dance Movement Therapy Association of Australasia.
I view you as the expert on your life and focus on your lived experience throughout our time together during IVF counselling. You can count on me to provide an outside perspective, help you make sense of your insights, create connections between thoughts and feelings, and figure out the most appropriate answers and solutions so you can keep living the life you have.
