| Confidential Counselling Service |
Trying for a much wanted
baby can be stressful, but having to depend on medical assistance
to do this can be very upsetting. Counselling provides an opportunity
to talk through feelings and emotions you may be experiencing. You
may find it helpful to talk to an individual who is independent from
the medical staff on the Unit, who has a knowledge of the dilemmas,
can listen and not judge, whilst at the same time
provide the opportunity for an individual or couple to find ways of
dealing with success, failure and/or implications of treatment.
There is a free confidential service available before, during and
after treatment. Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes and the
number of sessions you require will be decided by you and the counsellor.
There is a private room within the Reproductive Medicine Unit designated
for counselling but counselling may take place away from the Unit
if you prefer.
Should you wish to talk to one of our counsellors or make an appointment
to meet, they are available Monday to Friday by telephoning 0151 702
4075. This is also a 24 hour message line so a message can be left
on this number if necessary and one of the counsellors will return
your call at a convenient time. In addition the counsellors can be
contacted via any member of Unit staff. |
