If this is something you are going through, I am so sorry for your loss.
Miscarriages and pregnancy losses are a form of disenfranchised grief. A type of loss which is not openly acknowledged, socially validated or publicly mourned. Society often fails to recognise the significance of this loss and it can leave us feeling like there is no place to go with these big emotions-to mourn in isolation without the support of community. It does not need to be this way.
Even when bringing such a loss to friends or family it can feel like the people around us do not know what to do or say-that it is best not to talk about or it is best to minimise these feelings and move on. And if you have experienced this again I see you.
Counselling is a way to give your grief and valid emotions a space to breathe and check in with you, and how you are looking after yourself physically and emotionally during this time.
I have been in your position experiencing recurring miscarriages. I understand how isolating, frightening, and heartbreaking this journey can feel. I see you, and I offer a safe, compassionate space where your grief can be shared, witnessed, and gently held. If you feel ready to speak, I am here for you to book a free, gentle introductory chat.
I have found that walk-and-talk therapy can be especially supportive when working with pregnancy loss and grief. Being outdoors, in nature, moving at your own pace, whether in person or by phone can help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported as you begin to process what you have been through. I also offer in person sessions at my office in 22 Drumsheugh Gardens or we can work online so you can be in your own space if this is what you need.
Yes, keeping your physical comfort in mind is a priority. The Drumsheugh Gardens building features an accessible entryway and is located very close to the West End tram line and Haymarket train Station. If you prefer to avoid public transport during early recovery, pay-and-display parking is available right outside the door.
There is absolutely no pressure or set time line for this work. If you need to pause or sit in silence, we can take things incredibly slowly during our 50 minute sessions. We work gently at your pace to process the trauma of your loss without rushing your healing.
While our focus is strictly therapeutic, I can help you emotionally prepare for follow-up appointments or reviews. Having a dedicated professional space in Edinburgh to decompress after difficult hospital communication can be an invaluable anchor during your recovery.
I work from my West End Practice at 22 Drumsheugh Gardens, EH3 7RN.
