Fertility and Conception Counselling in Ontario

The journey to parenthood is not always straightforward. For many, it begins with hope and excitement, but it can also bring unexpected challenges, disappointment, and heartbreak. Fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, and the stress of trying to conceive can leave you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn.

At Support Me Psychotherapy, we provide online therapy in Ontario that meets you where you are on this journey. Whether you’re just starting to think about conception, actively undergoing fertility treatments, or coping with pregnancy loss, you deserve care and support along the way.

Fertility and Conception Support

Beginning the Journey: Trying to Conceive

Starting the process of trying to conceive can bring a mix of emotions — excitement, uncertainty, and pressure. For some, it’s a hopeful stage. For others, it quickly becomes stressful, filled with questions and fears when things don’t go as planned.

Therapy can help you:

Process the stress and expectations around starting a family
Explore feelings of pressure, self-doubt, or comparison
Develop coping tools for uncertainty and waiting
Communicate openly with your partner during this stage

Pregnancy loss can bring overwhelming grief. Whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or termination, the loss of a pregnancy is deeply painful and often misunderstood by others. You may feel anger, sadness, guilt, or emptiness.

Through therapy, we can support you to:

Grieve in a safe and compassionate space
Honour your loss in ways that feel meaningful to you
Release feelings of guilt or self-blame
Reconnect with your body and sense of hope for the future

Pregnancy loss is not something you “get over.” Healing is about integrating your experience with care and compassion, while learning how to move forward with strength.

Alongside therapy, families in Ontario may also find comfort in resources like the Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Network and CMHA Ontario: Grief and Loss.

Counselling for Pregnancy Stress

Even once pregnancy is achieved, it can bring new stress and anxiety, particularly for those who have experienced fertility challenges or previous losses. Constant worries about the baby’s health, fear of complications, or guilt for not feeling “joyful enough” are common.

Pregnancy counselling can provide:

Support for managing fears and intrusive “what if” thoughts
Stress-reduction tools such as grounding and mindfulness strategies
A safe space to explore shifting identity during pregnancy
Guidance for balancing emotional well-being while preparing for parenthood
