Miscarriage
Support

The time after a miscarriage can be marked with grief, loneliness, confusion and depression. Qualified counsellors can offer time and space for you to share your story and to grieve, with a view to helping you find a way forward through the pain of your loss.

Partners grieve too! If your partner has had a miscarriage you may be so busy caring for them that you haven’t had time to process your own emotions - we are here for you too and counselling may help.

Miscarriage support appointments are offered free of charge although you are invited to make a donation where possible. Please contact us today if you would like to come and talk to someone.

Our counselling services are offered to people living in and around Watford, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and the surrounding villages.

Your details will be legitimately used and stored for the purposes of arranging an appointment, informing you about our services and record keeping.  

What our clients have said

  • I am currently sitting by the sea that I visited when I was in the middle of having counselling with you. Back then I was in a mess and brokenhearted; but as I sit here today I am happy, feeling healed and well and so I wanted to email and say thank you for the many counselling sessions you gave me, you were a massive part of my healing journey.

  • Since my miscarriage I have been attending regular counselling sessions at Alternatives. The sessions have provided me with my own valuable time to talk about any thoughts and feelings I have. The sessions feel very safe and non judgemental. Experiencing the trauma of a miscarriage made me feel very vulnerable. By talking things through I have increasingly felt empowered and able to take control at challenging times. Thank you Alternatives for all your help and support. I would highly recommend your service to others.

  • From the very first session the counsellor made me feel at ease and I felt I was in a safe space to talk, The counsellor worked around the fact we couldn’t meet face-to-face, and I didn’t feel disadvantaged because of it.
