Fertility counsellor

Counselling is a routine part of Canadian fertility care and is required before donor conception and surrogacy arrangements. Sessions cover decision-making, disclosure to children, grief after unsuccessful cycles and the effects of treatment on relationships. CFAS maintains guidance on counselling standards, and clinics can refer you to a registered counsellor.
