When a future you imagined is suddenly changed

​

Pregnancy and baby loss can be one of the most profound and isolating experiences a person can face.

​

Often, what is lost is not only a pregnancy or a baby, but a whole future that had already begun to take shape. The hopes, dreams, expectations and the picture of life that you had quietly started to build can all change in an instant.

​

This kind of grief is complex. It may be felt in your body, your relationships, your sense of identity and the way you see yourself and the world around you. Sometimes there is sadness, anger, guilt, fear or even numbness. Sometimes there is a feeling that you should be moving forward when a part of you is still grieving what has been lost.

​

My own understanding of loss has been shaped by personal experiences of grief and by the many years I spent working within the NHS as a Specialist Nurse in an Early Pregnancy Unit. I have sat alongside women and their partners during some of the most heartbreaking moments of their lives, offering care and support through experiences that are often unseen by the outside world.

​

Alongside my nursing background, I am a Petals-trained counsellor and have supported people through a wide range of pregnancy and baby losses, including miscarriage, recurrent miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, termination and termination for medical reasons (TFMR). I have also undertaken further training supporting those affected by stillbirth and baby loss and am proud to be listed as an approved counsellor with ARC.

​

Through both my personal and professional experiences, I have come to understand that grief is not something to be rushed, fixed or left behind. It is something we learn to carry, making space for what has happened while slowly finding a way to live alongside it.

​

As a relational therapist, I offer a space where your story can be heard in all its complexity. A place where you do not have to minimise your loss, explain your feelings or pretend that everything is okay.

​

Together, we can begin to explore how your loss has affected you — your hopes for the future, your relationships, your connection with your body, and perhaps most importantly, your relationship with yourself.

​

You do not have to carry this grief alone.
