Perinatal & Fertility Counselling in Downtown Vancouver

How Wellness Talks Can Help

Pregnancy, fertility journeys, and early parenthood can bring deep joy, uncertainty, and emotional change. Many people experience complex emotions, relationship shifts, and increased stress while preparing to grow their families — whether through biological conception, adoption, surrogacy, or assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF.

At Wellness Talks Health Centre in Downtown Vancouver (conveniently located near Yaletown and Gastown), we understand that every path to parenthood is unique. Our counsellors provide a compassionate, inclusive space for individuals, couples, and families of all identities and backgrounds to explore the emotional, physical, and relational challenges that arise throughout this stage of life.

We specialize in supporting local professionals balancing career demands with family planning, as well as those navigating fertility challenges, perinatal loss, or transitions into parenthood through adoption or surrogacy.

How it Works

Our counsellors guide you through every stage of the perinatal period — from pre-pregnancy and conception to labour, delivery, and the postpartum year. Sessions focus on emotional regulation, relational support, communication, and identity development throughout this transformative time. Together, we explore:

Emotional and hormonal changes during pregnancy and postpartum
The impact of fertility stress, infertility, or assisted conception
Grief or uncertainty related to conception challenges or reproductive loss
Adjustment to adoption or surrogacy journeys
Relationship and identity shifts in early parenthood
Tools for balancing career, family, and self-care

Our approach is collaborative and evidence-based, helping you move from overwhelm to clarity and from self-criticism to self-compassion.

Specialized Support Includes:

Perinatal mood and anxiety concerns (PMADs)
Fertility, IVF, and conception-related counselling
Support for adoption and surrogacy journeys
Prenatal preparation and stress management
Postpartum emotional changes and adjustment
Birth story processing and trauma healing
Identity shifts and self-esteem in early parenthood
Balancing parenthood and career
Relationship and communication support for couples
Attachment and bonding with your baby
Sleep and fatigue-related stress
Family planning and reproductive decision-making

Why it Works

When people feel seen, supported, and emotionally safe, meaningful healing and growth can happen. Our integrative, research-informed approach helps you understand the emotional, hormonal, and psychological changes that shape pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and the family-building journey in all its forms.

We help you move from anxiety to confidence, from isolation to connection, and from self-doubt to emotional resilience — fostering a healthier, more grounded transition into parenthood or family life.

What to Expect

In therapy, you’ll gain insight, emotional tools, and personalized strategies to navigate this stage of life with greater ease and clarity. Sessions are tailored to your unique story and goals — whether you’re:

Exploring fertility options or family planning
Preparing for adoption or surrogacy
Adjusting to postpartum changes
Balancing parenthood with your professional identity

At WellnessTalks, we provide a safe, inclusive space for all family structures and reproductive experiences, helping you cultivate confidence, compassion, and connection through life’s most meaningful transitions.

Virtual Fertility & Perinatal Support Across BC
