Baby Loss Support 

Creating space for your grief

​​​If you have found your way here, you may be carrying a grief that feels heavy, confusing, or painfully quiet. Losing a loved one can shake your sense of self and leave you feeling alone in a world that keeps moving .

Here, you are not expected to be "okay".

Here, you are met with gentleness.

​​

Baby loss can be life-altering. It can affect your emotions, relationships, identity, and sense of safety in the world. At Create Space Counselling, I offer a specialist, compassionate space to explore what this loss means for you.

Why specialist support matters

Miscarriage and baby loss are often minimised or misunderstood. You may have been told to "move on", "try again", or that "it wasn't meant to be". These messages can deepen the pain and leave you feeling unseen.

​Here, your grief is acknowledged for what it truly is - love, loss and longing.​​

How counselling can help

​Together we can gently explore:

  • The emotional impact of your loss

  • Feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, or self-blame

  • The physical and hormonal aftermath

  • Relationship strain or disconnection

  • Medical trauma or difficult healthcare experiences

  • The loneliness and silence of grief

  • The fear, hope and uncertainty of trying again

  • Rebuilding trust in your body and your future​​

​

Counselling offers a steady, confidential space where you can begin to make sense of what has happened and reconnect with yourself.

What are sessions like?

​​Sessions are gentle, steady, and led by you. Some weeks you may want to talk; other weeks you may simply need space to sit with your feelings. All of you is welcome - the sadness, the numbness, the anger, the confusion, and the hope.​

​​​​

Who I support​

​​I work with:

  • Individuals

  • Partners

  • People who conceived naturally or through fertility treatment

  • Those experiencing recent or long-ago loss

  • Anyone navigating the emotional complexities of trying again

 

Your grief is valid, whether your loss happened weeks, months, or years ago.

You deserve a space to heal

If it feels right to continue, you are welcome to explore how I support people through a wider range of emotional experiences.
