Counselling Services

Counselling sessions are designed to help you feel empowered in your decision-making, while building emotional resilience to navigate whatever lies ahead.

If you're seeking support during this time, I'm here to help you navigate the path ahead with care and compassion.

Exploring your emotions and concerns in a safe, supportive environment
Gaining clarity about your values, needs, and the potential outcomes of different decisions
Developing tools to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
Finding peace with whatever decision you choose, knowing that it aligns with your core values

With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and somatic practices, I support individuals, couples, and families in exploring their values, fears, and hopes. Together, we work through difficult feelings and move toward choices that align with your deepest values, helping you navigate this time with clarity, courage, and self-compassion.

What to Expect in Counselling:

In counselling, you'll find a compassionate, judgement-free space where your feelings and concerns are heard. Whether you're coming in as an individual or as a couple, the focus will be on:

Processing overwhelming emotions and concerns
Clarifying your values and aligning your decisions with what feels right for you
Exploring the impact of different options on your emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing
Strengthening communication between partners or family members, fostering understanding and support
Developing self-compassion, releasing any guilt, and finding empowerment in your choice
Coping with the pressure of making decisions within a limited time frame

As an individual, couple, or family, you may experience a combination of shock, fear, confusion, or even grief. Counselling provides a non-judgemental space to express these emotions, while receiving the support and guidance needed to navigate this sensitive time.

How Can Counselling Help?

Counselling can help you cope with the current circumstances, guiding you through:

“What is the bravest thing you've ever said? asked the boy.
'Help,' said the horse.
'Asking for help isn't giving up,' said the horse. 'It's refusing to give up.”

Discovering an unplanned pregnancy can bring a whirlwind of emotions, thoughts, and concerns. Whether you're an expectant mother, a couple, or part of a family navigating this situation, unplanned pregnancies can create intense pressure to make decisions under challenging circumstances. This is where counselling can offer a compassionate and supportive space to explore your feelings, options, and values.

Why Seek Counselling for an Unplanned Pregnancy?

People may seek counselling for an unplanned pregnancy for a variety of reasons, including:

Feeling overwhelmed or conflicted about the pregnancy
Uncertainty about how the pregnancy will impact relationships, current family, career, or life goals
Navigating differences in opinions or desires between partners, family members, or friends
Experiencing shame, guilt, anxiety, or fear about the future
Considering medical, emotional, or ethical aspects of continuing or ending the pregnancy
Feeling isolated or unsupported in making a decision
Needing to process and cope with a range of intense emotions
Navigating a pregnancy after loss
Grief after choosing to end a pregnancy
