Unplanned Pregnancy

“I’m pregnant and I don’t know what to do. How do I make a decision? What are my choices? Should I have an abortion?”

Unplanned pregnancy can feel like a crisis. If you have confusing thoughts and feelings, it isn’t easy to make a decision.

If you, or someone you know, is pregnant and doesn’t know what to do, please email us on info@choicescharity.org or fill in the form below.

A note about getting safe, non-judgemental care

We want to empower you to be able to make your own informed choice about the care you receive and how to avoid coercive practices. You may have seen notices on some abortion providers’ websites directing members of the public to avoid bad practice in their search for support.

So we hope it helps to give you clarity here about how we work: Choices is committed to supporting women to consider their pregnancy choices completely free from coercion and free of charge. We are committed to listening, being non-judgemental, being respectful, to supporting you, to giving you a safe and neutral space, and never to coerce or share misleading or inaccurate information.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), we are dedicated to delivering a high standard of professional care and will signpost to the NHS and NHS-approved services. Our commitment is reflected in the positive feedback and testimonials we regularly receive from our clients, who experience a supportive, neutral, and safe therapeutic space where they can properly and fully explore their choices.

Choices operates with a Christian ethos, and it is our faith that informs this approach; to be professional, respectful, non-judgemental and compassionate. However, we will not bring a discussion about faith into your session unless you would like to. And you are in control: if you don’t want to discuss anything, you can just tell us. 

Our support is free from judgement and free of charge

Choices' ethos is to provide a safe, compassionate and non-directive space for those who are struggling with their decision about an unplanned pregnancy. In a 90min session (on the phone, video chat or in person), we facilitate the process that our clients go through as they consider their own thoughts and feelings about the options they face.

Choices is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and we adhere to their professional guidelines for counselling. We are an independent and confidential counselling service.

Choices is a Christian charity and our faith informs our approach to meet everyone with compassion, care and respect. We are also faith-sensitive and welcome people from all faiths and none. Out of respect for our clients, and because we work ethically as counsellors, we are led by our clients and do not raise issues of faith unless our client does first.

We are not a campaigning organisation, and as a result, we do not take a political position, as this could prevent us from being able to respond professionally to each individual client. We will always support our clients, whatever choices they make.
