Ms Edwina Oakes:

Another very important point is that we are specialist fertility counsellors. We are counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists who have done further training to become specialist fertility counsellors. That is quite unique. Not everybody has that experience, exposure and knowledge. We discuss three areas when it comes to implications counselling, which are legal, social and ethical issues. That is very important because a counsellor from another discipline might not have the knowledge or experience to deal with the breadth of what is involved in creating a human being.
