Contraception Advice and Consultations

For those who are not sure what their options are for contraception or are making decisions with other health considerations in mind.

Dr Williamson has been specialising, practicing and training others in this field for over 20 years and is able to support decision making in light of your own health and lifestyle.

We anticipate 30 minutes should be sufficient to guide you through your options and support your decision making in the context of your broader health but if you have particular concerns or anxieties, feel free to book a longer appointment. Should you decide to opt for Coil or Implant forms of contraction, we will generally need to make a separate appointment for the fitting.

Who to book withAny of our doctors

All our Doctors can provide this service and advice to you, but you may want to book with one of our female sexual health Doctor, Dr Shona Williamson.
