Therapy for Fertility, Pregnancy & Postnatal Wellbeing

Pregnancy and the journey toward parenthood can be one of the most emotional and life-altering experiences a person faces. Whether you're navigating the challenges of infertility, recovering from pregnancy loss, or adjusting to life before or after birth, this period can bring complex feelings—ranging from hope and anticipation to grief, fear, or overwhelm.

At Melbourne Psychology House, we offer compassionate and evidence-based therapy to support individuals and couples through a wide range of pregnancy-related experiences, including:

Fertility challenges and IVF
Miscarriage and pregnancy loss
Termination for medical or personal reasons
Perinatal anxiety and depression
Adjusting to parenthood and identity changes
Postnatal mental health support

You don’t need to wait until things feel “bad enough” to seek help. These experiences often come with emotional ups and downs that are entirely valid. Therapy offers a space to talk openly and honestly—free from judgment—about the thoughts, emotions, and expectations that may be difficult to share elsewhere.

We tailor our therapeutic approach to meet your unique needs and experiences, drawing on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care. Our goal is to support you in:

Processing grief, loss, or uncertainty
Managing anxiety, guilt, or depressive symptoms
Strengthening emotional resilience
Reconnecting with your values and identity
Developing coping strategies for the demands of pregnancy, parenting, or fertility treatments

Whether you’re at the beginning of your fertility journey, coping with loss, or finding the transition to parenthood harder than expected, therapy can provide a steady and supportive space to help you navigate this time with greater clarity and compassion.

If you’d like to learn more or book an appointment, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’re here to support you.
