Pregnancy Related Counselling

WE CAN HELP YOU

Becoming pregnant is a life changing event that can affect both women and their relationships in many ways.

​

A pregnancy whether planned or unplanned can highlight a number of concerns including relationship issues or the capacity to be a parent.

 

It is not uncommon for unresolved feelings about a previous pregnancy, miscarriage, termination, stillbirth or post-natal depression to arise.

​

For some women, a pregnancy can be a positive life event that provides direction and purpose and they easily adjust to the idea of continuing the pregnancy.

​

For others, it is a time of stress and isolation leaving them feeling confused and overwhelmed. This may be a time where you need some professional support to assist you to address the issues that have arisen. You can then be supported through the process of making a decision that is best for you at this time.

​
