Psychologist, Speaker & Trainer
Helping everyone do better in supporting theirs and others reproductive mental health

16/09/2025

These numbers speak for themselves. And I don't need to make any further commentary about them.

But what I will say is that we need to ensure everyone who navigates IVF treatment, and particularly for those who have outcomes unexpected, including ending treatment without a child, as appropriate, and timely psychosocial support.

And this actually starts at the beginning, with realistic education about the realistic expectations and outcomes of treatment.

I think it's time for a reintroduction, and to tell you a little bit about what I do, so you can decide if I might be a good fit for you or someone you know.

I'm Lisa Ransome, the owner and psychologist behind Lisa Ransome Reproductive Psychology, says it all in the business name, really!!

I have been working in the space of reproductive mental health care, treatment, support, and intervention for the past 5.5 years, with an interest extending far beyond that.

After having my own lived experience with infertility and seriously struggling to find a mental health professional who I didn't have to educate, I started training in the area and now have transferred my lived experience to work experience!

Supporting individuals and couples through the entirety of their reproductive years, including infertility, loss, pregnancy, pregnancy after loss or infertility, surrogacy, donor conception, postpartum, and childlessness after infertility, as well as navigation of reproductive health diagnosis.

If it is related to reproduction, I'll work with it!

I also love to advocate, learn, and teach other professionals about everything there is to learn about reproductive mental health.

I firmly believe that mental health support is critical through all areas of reproduction and reproductive medical care. And I also believe (and know) we could be doing it far better across the board.

Not only am I a registered psychologist, but I am also registered as an Australian and New Zealand Infertility Counsellor.

Tomorrow, I am driving across to Adelaide for the 2025 Fertility Society of Australia and New Zealand's (FSANZ) annual conference.

Saturday sees a meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Infertility Counsellors Association (ANZICA) for the workshop day followed by 3 days of conference.

The space of IVF in Australia is currently full of uncertainty, mistrust, worry, limits on transparency, and, in general, reduced integrity.

What I do know from working in this space is that there are MANY practitioners who wish to see better for patients and many of us who are advocating fiercely and loudly for positive change. I also know many of those people who, like me, want to see this change will be there.

I am looking forward to the weekend of continuing to increase my knowledge and listen to some very experienced people in this space, with a focus on strong ethical practice and patient centred outcomes and treatment. I'm also looking forward to meeting so many people for the first time in person, rather than from emails and DMs!

Some of the awesome people presenting this coming weekend include:

Along with multiple international speakers, including Hilde Cotton, Alice Domar & Nicky Hudson.

Also looking forward to catching up with & as well as many others who dont all have instagram profiles!!

If I haven't mentioned you, and you're going let me know, I want to say hi in person!!!

Women's Health Week 2025

SAY YES TO YOU!

Day 3 - Heart Smart!

The menstrual cycle is a pretty powerful part of the female body, and nope, we really don't understand enough about it.

But what we do know is, when there are concerns within the menstrual cycle, it CAN be a risk factor for later heart health and heart disease.

If you have endo, PCOS, or concerns around your menstrual cycle health, have a chat with you GP or health care provider and focus on preventative health measures, because what we do NOW is going to help us in the future.

Have a look at for more information on heart health for women, signs of heart attack, and keeping our heart healthy.

Also, big shout out to for the awesome song. We really haven't studied the female body.

Women's Health Week 2025

SAY YES TO YOU!

Day 2 - Take the Lead

When we arm ourselves with knowledge, we can then have better conversations with our medical providers about what is happening for us.

The challenge is often where do we start with finding information, particularly in this world of mis and dis information around medical care.

There is an increasing number of female orientated health literature that is easily accessible and increases our understanding of our health, and many of them are also right here on social media, promoting information and dispelling dis-information.

Phenomenal accounts to follow to increase your knowledge of your health include, but aren't limited to:

preeya.alexander

sekhon

So if you're looking for a starting point for increasing your health knowledge, following these accounts and/or reading these books are a great starting point.

The last Sunday of August, is Bereaved Father's Day.

Today, we reflect and stand with all the fathers who have lost a baby or a child.

Often, fathers are forgotten when perinatal or reproductive loss occurs.
But dads truly matter too.
Dads grieve too.
Dads lives are disrupted and turned upside down, too, when their baby or child dies.

To all the dads who are carrying a baby or child in their hearts today, we remember you, and we remember you on all other days of the year too.

Red Nose Day 2025

For many families, this day honours babies who are no longer with us and acknowledges the silent grief of miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal death.

Grief in reproduction is often invisible, yet it shapes identities, relationships, and mental health.

Red Nose Day is not only about remembrance, but also about breaking the silence, supporting research, bringing awareness, and offering care to families navigating unimaginable loss.

Red Nose Day, holds a space in many people's hearts, and Red Nose has supported so many people as they have navigated loss of their beloved babies and children.

Red Nose, a reminder we are not alone.
That our grief matters.
That our babies matters.
And you matter.

22/08/2025

National Rainbow Baby Day, the day we celebrate all the babies who have been born after loss.

These babies bring joy, they bring healing, but they don't replace the babies we have lost.

We carry the dual emotions of joy and grief as parents who have babies in their hearts and babies and children in their arms.

Not everyone find the term of rainbow baby fits for them, but today we celebrate the babies you hold in your arms, and remember with you the babies you also hold in your heart.

07/08/2025

Just in case you need to read this today.

Sometimes, we can feel pressured to keep going with IVF and fertility treatments when we know we need to pause and take care of ourselves.

If this is you, this is your reminder it's OK to pause, look after yourself, and come back to IVF later.

Mother's Day 2025.

It means different things to different people.

For some, it's love and laughter.

For some, it's love and tears.

For some, it's heartache.

For some, it's hope.

Whatever Mother's Day means and feels to you, I send you love.

03/05/2025

Saturday 2025 Conference.

Fascinating presentations on cross boarder reproduction, and the risks and benefits which can come from it. How Thailand has implemented change post the Baby Gammy scandal in 2015.

Proposals of how we track and collect data better on patients who choose cross boarder treatment, to improve safety for patients, and where donor conception available improve connectivity for DCP.

And a great debate on the role of telemedicine in counselling, which was incredibly thought provoking given around 40% of my work is online.

Also took a photo of the wiggly human s***m, and ran into and took photo of our fab and on point reproductive earrings!!

Then an evening spent wandering in the Supertree Grove & Marina Bay - Singapore know how to put on a show!!
