Services
Unplanned Pregnancy Support
Our specialist advisors provide confidential support for individuals facing unexpected pregnancies. We offer non-directive counselling to explore all options including parenting, adoption, or termination. Sessions help clients process complex emotions and make informed decisions aligned with their personal circumstances.
Post Abortion Support
We provide compassionate support for those experiencing emotional difficulties following termination. Our structured recovery programme helps clients process feelings of loss, guilt, or regret through confidential one-to-one sessions and group support, facilitating long-term emotional healing and personal growth.
Pregnancy Loss Support
Our trained advisors offer empathetic support for those grieving pregnancy loss through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or stillbirth. We provide both individual counselling and group retreat days to help clients process grief, reduce isolation, and develop coping strategies in a supportive environment.
Complicated Pregnancy Support
We support clients facing difficult decisions after prenatal diagnosis of foetal abnormalities. Our non-directive approach creates safe space to explore medical information, emotional responses, and personal values, helping clients reach informed decisions about their pregnancy options with ongoing emotional support.
Schools Programme
Our trained presenters deliver age-appropriate relationship and pregnancy education in schools. The programme covers emotional aspects of pregnancy decisions, contraceptive awareness, and healthy relationships, delivered by volunteer educators from diverse faith backgrounds while respecting students' varied perspectives.
