Grief and Loss Couselling
At Your Story Counselling, I know that grief and loss can be incredibly hard to handle. This is especially true for personal experiences like failed IVF, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or losing a child.
​
As a grief and fertility counsellor, I help people who are going through fertility treatment. I also support those who are dealing with loss. I base my services on evidence and aim to offer compassionate care. I understand that each person's journey through grief is unique, and there is no right or wrong way to feel.
​
My approach is to create a safe and nurturing environment where you can express your emotions freely. If you are facing these challenges, I am here to listen and help you. If you feel sad, angry, depressed, anxious or confused, I am here for you and I can help you work through these tough emotions.
​
In our sessions, we will explore your experiences and their impact on your life. Together, we will work on coping strategies that can help you manage your emotions and find a path toward healing. I also offer resources and tools to help you process your grief.
​
At Your Story Counselling, I believe in the power of storytelling. Sharing your story can be a powerful step in the healing process. I encourage you to discuss your experiences, memories and hopes for the future. This can help you gain clarity and understanding, making it easier to cope with the challenges you face.
​
If you are ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards finding peace and acceptance in your story. You don’t have to go through this alone; I am here to support you every step of the way.​
​
What is Grief and Loss Counselling?
Grief and loss counselling is a special type of therapy. It helps people deal with the emotional pain from big life events. These events can include losing a loved one or ending a fertility journey.
​
In fertility treatment and pregnancy loss, this therapy provides a safe space. It helps people process feelings from failed IVF cycles, miscarriage, stillbirth, or losing a child.
​
Grief can be disenfranchised. This means society may not fully recognise or validate it. This can make grief feel even more isolating.​
​
In our sessions, we will explore the various stages of grief, allowing you to express your feelings without judgment. Grief is not a straight path.
​
It can come and go, often appearing when you least expect it. Together, we will find coping strategies that work for you.
​
I also encourage open communication about your feelings with your partner or support system. Sometimes, the people around you may not know how to react to your grief. Talking about your feelings can help them understand you better and create a stronger bond.
​
We can also talk about any guilt or shame you may feel. This will help you see that your emotions are real and deserve attention.​​
​
Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Many individuals face similar challenges, and seeking help is a courageous step towards healing. Together, we can create a safe space where you can begin to rebuild your sense of self and find hope for the future.
How Grief Counselling Supports You.
Grief and loss are unique experiences, and my counselling services are tailored to support you through your individual process. Here’s how I can assist you:
​
Coping with Failed IVF and Infertility Loss: The emotional toll of a failed IVF cycle can be devastating. If you feel disappointed, frustrated, or sad about your hopes for becoming a parent, I can help. I provide a caring and supportive space for you. Here, you can work through these feelings and start your healing journey.
​
Disenfranchised Grief: Some types of grief, like losing a pregnancy early or a failed fertility treatment, often go unnoticed by society. This can make the grieving process more difficult. I help you navigate disenfranchised grief, offering validation, support, and a safe space to grieve your loss without judgment.
​
Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss Support: Miscarriage and pregnancy loss can trigger intense feelings of guilt, sadness, and anger. My grief counselling services offer the support you need. I help you understand and process your grief. Together, we work on healing with care and compassion.
​
Stillbirth and Loss of a Child: Losing a child, whether through stillbirth or early death, is one of the most profound losses anyone can experience. I provide caring grief support to help you deal with the emotional and mental challenges of this loss. I offer guidance during this incredibly hard time.
​
Navigating the Grief Journey Together: If you’re in a relationship, grief can sometimes create emotional distance between partners. Couples counselling can help partners deal with their grief together. It can also improve communication and support each other through the tough feelings of loss.
