What we do

 

Confidential Counselling for Pregnancy, Loss, and Parenthood

We offer confidential, one-to-one counselling for women (and men) facing pregnancy, loss, and parenthood challenges. Whether dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, loss or seperation, or adjusting to life as a parent, we provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore options and make informed decisions, supporting women every step of the way.

Emotional and Practical Support

We support those continuing pregnancy or struggling with parenting challenges, including isolation, financial difficulties, or relationship issues, offering both emotional and practical assistance.

Counselling in Prisons

We provide confidential one-to-one counselling for women in prison, focusing on grief, child loss, and separation.

Our Team

 

Our team of counsellors are all either fully qualified staff or volunteers who are qualified or in training, with accredited counselling and psychotherapy courses. We also have our own in-house training based on years of experience. We adhere to the ethical guidelines of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Above all we always maintain the integrity of our client relationships: every case is confidential and handled discreetly.
