Clarity that strengthens your decisions.
People attend genetic counselling for different reasons. I provide you with the space to ask questions, explore your thoughts, and understand the science more clearly.
What is Genetic Counselling?
Genetic counselling is a structured and supportive discussion, designed to help you understand how genetics may impact your health, family, and future. In essence it’s aimed at bringing clarity to complex information, help you make sense of your options, and support your thinking without directing it.
When You Might Consider Genetic Counselling
You are planning on growing your family and want to explore genetic information or you have a family history of an inherited condition and want to understand potential risks and your options.
You wish to learn about pre-implantation genetic testing in the context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment.
You are exploring the use of donated gametes (donor eggs/sperm) and want to understand carrier testing results.
What to Expect in a Session?
-
The session will take place remotely, you can join from the comfort of your safe space to discuss confidential information, ask questions, share concerns, and feel heard without judgment.
-
Complex genetic concepts are explained using simple words and explanations and illustrations, so you leave with clarity.
If you have genetic results you wish to explore, I will walk you through these step by step, ensuring you understand what they mean. I will aim to work with you to create a plan moving forward.
Where relevant, we will talk about uncertainty and explore how this is impacting you and why.
-
In addition to exploring your personal medical history and fertility journey, I may review your family history to identify patterns and assess inheritance risks.
-
If appropriate, you’ll learn about available relevant genetic testing options for your case. The aim is to personalise the session for you and provide you with information vital to your decision making and understanding.
-
You will receive a summary letter of the information discussed during the session. If relevant, this will include any recommendations and the agreed next steps in your journey.
