Grief and Loss Counselling Services at Your Story Counselling

At Your Story Counselling, I understand that the emotional impact of grief and loss can be overwhelming, especially when it involves deeply personal experiences such as failed IVF, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or the loss of a child. My grief and loss counselling services are specifically designed to provide compassionate support and guidance during these challenging times. Whether you're dealing with disenfranchised grief or trying to navigate the pain of loss, I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you heal.

​

What is Grief and Loss Counselling?

Grief and loss counselling is a specialised form of therapy that helps individuals cope with the emotional pain that comes with the loss of a loved one or a significant life event. In the context of fertility challenges and pregnancy loss, this type of counselling provides a space to process the emotions surrounding events like failed IVF cycles, miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a child. It also addresses disenfranchised grief, where the pain of loss may not be fully recognised or acknowledged by others, making it even more isolating.

How Grief Counselling Support Yo?

My tailored grief and loss counselling helps you cope with your unique circumstances. Here’s how we I support you through the grieving process:

​

• Coping with Failed IVF and Infertility Loss: The emotional toll of a failed IVF cycle can be devastating. Whether you’ve experienced disappointment, frustration, or the grief of unfulfilled dreams of parenthood, our grief and loss counselling provides a compassionate space to process these emotions and find healing.

• Disenfranchised Grief: Sometimes, society does not fully recognise certain types of grief, such as the loss of a pregnancy early on or the heartbreak of a failed IVF cycle. This can make the grieving process more difficult. I'm trained to help you navigate disenfranchised grief, offering validation, support, and a safe space to grieve your loss.

• Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss Support: Miscarriage and pregnancy loss are heartbreaking experiences, often accompanied by feelings of guilt, sadness, and anger. My counselling services offer emotional support to help you process your grief, understand your emotions, and begin the healing process after miscarriage or pregnancy loss.

• Stillbirth and Loss of a Child: Losing a child, whether through stillbirth or early death, is one of the most devastating experiences anyone can face. My counselling offers specialised support to help you cope with the unique emotional and psychological challenges that come with the loss of a child, providing compassionate care and guidance through this incredibly difficult time.

• Navigating the Grief Journey Together: If you are in a relationship, grief and loss can sometimes create emotional distance between partners. Couples counselling sessions help partners process grief together, improve communication, and support one another through the emotional complexities of loss.
