Option Two
We are here for you.
So you’ve just done a home pregnancy test. You see the dreaded double lines. It is positive. At any other stage in your life you may have been happy to see this but not today.

You heart sinks and you start to feel that knot in the base of your stomach as anxiety kicks in.
This is quite a common situation. Please know that you aren’t alone.

Medical termination can be considered an option up until 9 weeks of pregnancy.
The earlier you come in, the better as it may take some time to organize tests before we can proceed.

Young Adults
Going through the pre-teen and early teen years is always a turbulent stage. Our approach to educating young people is to have open dialogue and establishing a relationship with a health professional early in their lives. This provides young adults with a safe space for them to come back and ask questions and share their worries in a confidential and supportive environment. Topics that may be addressed are listed below, but we also encourage the individuals to take the lead and steer the conversation.
Lifestyle Habits. Physical Health. Body positivity. Vaping and Substance use. Cyber Bullying. Peer Pressure. Sex and Reproduction. Relationships and Consent. Contraception and Safe Sex. Mental Health (Mindfulness and Resilience)
Resources provided. Follow-up emails or phone calls (via telehealth) as an option. Consent from the guardian may be required. Give us a call to check how we can customise the session.
