Therapy To Help Cope With Pregnancy Loss

Coming To Terms With Pregnancy Loss: Losing a pregnancy is very common, and it can be devastating for both you, your partner and your family. There are different types of loss that you can experience at any time during the stages of your pregnancy.

If a pregnancy ends spontaneously before its 20th week, it is referred to as a miscarriage. Pregnancy loss after 20 weeks is called a stillbirth.

If you have lost a pregnancy, you might be struggling with complicated feelings including grief, anger, guilt, denial or relief. Miscarriage in particular is highly stigmatised, and many people feel like they have done something wrong. It is also very little talked about in society, making pregnancy loss an extremely isolating experience.

Choosing to end your pregnancy is called abortion or termination. It is a common personal choice, but one that is highly stigmatised and politicised, and it might feel very complicated for you.

You might seek counselling to help you decide if abortion is right for you, after an abortion if you are having distressing feelings about it, or at any time if you feel that you would benefit from talking about your feelings in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.

HQ Therapists & Counsellors Working With Pregnancy Loss

Talking to a therapist or counsellor about your pregnancy loss in a supportive and non-judgemental space can help you to express and process your emotions. If there are complicating factors (such as a cultural identity), you might benefit from talking to someone who understands those concerns specifically, but any kind of talking therapy should help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy For Pregnancy Loss?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.

But how do you know what type of therapy is right for you? Taking the first steps in finding the right therapist can be the biggest hurdle for newcomers, so we have made it easy.
