For those of you who are pregnant or trying to conceive after loss, we recognise that this journey can be emotionally complex, and may require a different approach to bereavement counselling. Because of this, we have an adapted referral process to ensure that we offer a specialist service, tailoring counselling support to best help individuals and couples navigating pregnancy after loss.
Having an adapted service means counsellors can arrange and schedule sessions mindfully to support specific needs during pregnancy, offering flexible support over a longer or (alternatively) a shorter, more concentrated period of time. Between you and the counsellor, sessions can be arranged to coincide with certain appointments and time frames. You may also have the option of combining online and in person sessions to help with other commitments and accessibility.
If you and/or your partner are pregnant and seeking support from Zephyr’s, please get in touch at admin@zephyrsnottingham.org.uk and we can send you a referral form to complete. We will book an initial appointment to help assess your needs, and then allocate a counsellor from there.
We also run a support group HOPE pregnancy after loss who meet on a monthly basis and have a supportive community through a private Facebook group. These sessions provide peer support, plus antenatal care activities. HOPE provides a space for those on a similar journey, who have a shared understanding of loss. These sessions are drop-in, and do not require any advanced sign-up. However, if you are joining HOPE for the first time, please get in touch at contact@zephyrsnottingham.org.uk so that we can help you to feel welcome and prepared.
