Knocked Up: The Podcast About Fertility and Women’s Health
Health & Fitness:Alternative Health
In Victoria, in order to access assisted reproductive technologies there is a mandatory counselling component. The concept of supportive counselling can be daunting if it isn't something that has been tried before. In this conversation with Suellen Peak, Senior Fertility Counsellor at Life Fertility Clinic Melbourne, we discuss what to expect and how we can benefit from this session.
Suellen Peak has a Masters Qualified Positive Psychology Practitioner and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 20 years of clinical experience. Over the course of her career, Suellen has worked with diverse groups of people, in a variety of settings that include community organizations, not for profit agencies, and public and private health care settings. For the past 15 years, Suellen has specialized in counselling patients to navigate infertility and assisted reproductive technologies. She has a particular interest in Wellbeing Science, and fuses mindbody practices with the evidence base interventions from the field of positive psychology, neuroscience and psychology to help people to cultivate their full potential. Suellen is a full member of the Australia and New Zealand Infertility Counsellors Association and is a licensed Mental Health First Aid Trainer. Suellen is happiest riding around on her scooter Ruby, baking in the kitchen and travelling the world.
