Psychological support in assisted reproduction - HC Fertility - El centro de la Fertilidad en Marbella

Psychological support service specialised

Fertility treatment can be a very difficult life experience, both physically and emotionally. Professional psychological support allows us to face the difficulties with greater strength and understanding.

At HC Fertility, we offer a psychological support service specialised in assisted reproduction, so that you can go through this process more calmly and have the right tools to be able to manage everything that a fertility treatment entails.

What do we aim for with psychological support?

To offer you emotional support throughout your treatment

Providing you with a space for listening, understanding and support where you can verbalise your feelings and better understand the different phases of the process.

To help you make decisions

The choice of fertility technique, the acceptance of options that were not previously considered, and the determination of how many attempts to make, are important decisions that can place a lot of pressure on you. Psychological support helps you make decisions more consciously.

Providing you with tools to manage your emotions

We work on cognitive and emotional strategies so that you can better manage anxiety, fear, sadness or frustration, and to help you take care of yourself throughout the journey.

To be by your side in moments of grief

In fertility, there are different types of grief (genetic grief, grief over the motherhood you dreamed of, grief over a negative outcome, perinatal losses). We support you in going through these moments with respect and care.

Strengthening trust in the medical team

A proper support also helps to make the relationship with the clinic more fluid and secure, favouring a positive bond with the teams involved.

Reducing stress and the risk of abandoning treatment

Lowering anxiety and ambivalent emotions helps to experience the process in a more natural way and to reduce the risk of “throwing in the towel” as a result of emotional exhaustion.

What are the sessions like?

We adapt to your needs and possibilities:

Format: Videoconference or Telephone.
Duration: between 45 and 60 minutes per session.
Frequency: it can be a one-off support session at specific times or a more continuous accompaniment throughout the process, depending on what you need.
Language: our psychologist specialised in assisted reproduction speaks Spanish, English and Italian.
Marco: The cultural, social and legal background of the context of each case will be taken into account.
Aimed at: women who wish to pursue motherhood as a single parent, as well as couples.

Moments when psychological support can be of particular help:

1. First contact with the clinic

It is normal to feel overwhelmed during the first medical consultation. At this particular time, psychological support can be helpful to:

Better understand what the process involves emotionally.
Explore your emotional history related to motherhood/parenthood.
Become aware of the key moments that may arise.
Start the journey with a greater sense of preparation and support.

2. When difficult news arrives

An unexpected diagnosis, an unfavourable prognosis, negative results or losses… All this can generate very intense emotions and reactions that are difficult to manage.

At these times, psychological intervention is useful to:

Naming what you feel and understanding what is happening to you.
Work on the acceptance of reality, without abandoning your family project.
Make decisions from a more serene and conscious position.
