Who Counselling Is For
Pregnancy loss counselling is for anyone affected by the death of a child before, during, or after birth. This includes:
Those who experienced historical losses, including being denied the opportunity to see or hold their baby
Partners, spouses, or family members who are grieving alongside the birthing parent
Individuals feeling persistent anxiety, depression, or stress related to pregnancy, parenting, or past loss.
Loss affects everyone differently, and counselling honours your unique journey and needs.
Support for Male or Non-Birthing Partners
Pregnancy loss affects both partners deeply, yet male or non-birthing partners are often overlooked. Counselling provides a safe space to:
Process grief, shock, and guilt
Communicate and reconnect with your partner
Learn strategies for supporting each other while also caring for your own wellbeing
Navigate societal expectations and feelings of invisibility
Both partners’ experiences are valid, and counselling supports healing for the whole family unit.
How Counselling Can Help
Pregnancy loss counselling can assist you in:
Processing grief and complex emotions, including anger, guilt, or sadness
Honouring your baby through memories, rituals, or personal expression
Addressing anxiety, stress, or depression that may follow pregnancy loss
Exploring unresolved feelings from past or historical losses
Supporting your relationship and communication with your partner
Finding hope and resilience while acknowledging your loss
Sessions are tailored to your pace and needs, providing a space to express yourself fully, without judgement.

A Safe and Compassionate Space
I understand that each pregnancy loss is unique, and grief does not follow a timeline. Some losses may have occurred years ago, and you may still carry questions, pain, or feelings of denial about what you went through. Counselling provides:
Validation of your experience and emotions
Guidance through difficult memories and feelings
Gentle strategies to cope with ongoing grief, anxiety, or depression
Support in navigating triggers, reminders, or subsequent pregnancies
Your story is welcome here, in all its complexity and depth.
When You’re Ready
Grief after pregnancy loss is personal and ongoing. Whether your loss was recent, long ago, or you continue to carry unresolved pain, counselling provides a safe, confidential space to:
Honour your baby
Process emotions and experiences
Reconnect with yourself and your partner
Find ways to move forward at your own pace
