Infant & Pregnancy Loss Support

There are losses that change the landscape of your world forever.
The loss of a baby, through miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, infant death, or other child-related loss, is one of them.

If you are here, you may be carrying grief that feels isolating, confusing, overwhelming, or invisible. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling shattered inside. You may not even have words yet for what has happened. You are not alone here.

A Space for Your Grief. This is a dedicated therapeutic space for parents, individuals, and couples who have experienced:

• Miscarriage
• Stillbirth
• Infant death
• Neonatal loss
• Termination for medical reasons
• Infertility and failed fertility treatment
• Recurrent pregnancy loss
• The death of a child at any age

There is no hierarchy of grief.
Whether your loss happened recently or many years ago, whether others recognised it or not, your pain matters.

Specialist Training & Informed Support

Phiona has undertaken specialist training with the Foundation for Infant Loss, deepening her understanding of the unique psychological, relational, and embodied impact of pregnancy and infant loss.

Alongside this specialist training, Phiona brings her professional background as a qualified counsellor with extensive experience supporting bereavement, trauma, and complex grief. She understands that infant loss can affect every part of you, your identity, your body, your relationships, your sense of safety, and your future.

This work is approached with gentleness, sensitivity, and deep respect for the bond you have with your baby.

For Parents, You may be navigating:

• Shock and disbelief
• Guilt or self-blame
• Anger or numbness
• Anxiety about future pregnancies
• Feeling disconnected from your body
• Loneliness when others have “moved on”
• Difficulty being around other children or pregnancy announcements

Grief after infant loss is not linear. It can come in waves, triggered by dates, seasons, milestones, or seemingly ordinary moments. Therapy offers a space where you do not have to minimise, justify, or tidy up your grief for anyone else.

For Couples. Loss can draw couples closer, or create distance that feels frightening. You may grieve differently. One of you may want to talk constantly; the other may cope by staying busy or quiet. Neither way is wrong, but it can feel hard to meet each other in the middle.

Couples sessions provide a safe space to:

• Understand each other’s grief responses
• Reduce misunderstanding and blame
• Strengthen connection
• Navigate intimacy and future decisions
• Honour your baby together

For Those Facing Infertility. Infertility can be a quiet, ongoing grief, often unseen and misunderstood. Each cycle, each treatment, each hope followed by disappointment can accumulate into profound emotional exhaustion. You may be grieving the life you imagined, the timelines you expected, or the sense of ease others seem to have. Your experience deserves validation and support and a deeply empathic approach

Phiona’s counselling approach is rooted in empathy, safety, and attuned presence. She brings:

• Extensive bereavement counselling experience
• Trauma-informed practice
• Sensitivity to embodied grief and nervous system responses
• A calm, grounded therapeutic space

There is no pressure to “be strong.” No expectation to find meaning before you are ready. No timeline for healing. Some sessions may focus on storytelling and memory. Some may sit quietly with emotion. Some may gently explore how to live alongside the grief rather than overcome it. You lead the pace. 

• Honouring Your Baby 
• Your baby existed.
  Your bond is real.
  Your grief reflects love.

Therapy can offer space to remember, to speak their name (if you wish), to process difficult medical experiences, or to explore rituals and ways of honouring their place in your life. There is room here for tears, anger, questions, faith struggles, silence, and everything in between. You Do Not Have to Carry This Alone

Infant loss often carries layers of isolation, social discomfort, cultural silence, or well-meaning but painful comments from others. In this space, you do not need to protect anyone else from your grief. You do not need to explain why it still hurts.
You do not need to justify your sorrow.
