Support for Perinatal Loss and Birth Trauma

The journey to parenthood doesn’t always go as hoped or planned. Perinatal loss—including miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal loss—as well as traumatic birth experiences, can leave parents navigating deep grief, shock, and emotional pain in a world that often doesn't know how to hold these stories.

Therapy offers a safe and non-judgmental space to:

  • 1

    Grieve your loss in your own time and way, without pressure to “move on” or “stay strong”.

  • 2

    Process the trauma of a difficult or frightening birth, including medical interventions, feeling unheard, or fearing for your or your baby’s safety.

  • 3

    Explore feelings of guilt, anger, isolation, or confusion, all of which are common and valid.

  • 4

    Rebuild a sense of safety and trust in your body, your relationships, or future pregnancies.

  • 5

    Find ways to honour your experience and your baby while moving toward healing.

Perinatal loss and birth trauma can feel invisible and silenced—but your experience matters. You deserve space to tell your story, feel supported in your grief, and heal at your own pace. You don’t have to walk through this alone.

Therapy can be a place to hold your pain with gentleness, restore your emotional strength, and begin to imagine what healing might look like for you.
