Abortion can be a very painful experience, especially if you felt pressured into it, had mixed feelings about it or received little counselling or support at the time.
Afterwards it is hard to discuss it with others for fear of them judging, embarrassing or rejecting you. You need to talk to someone who understands, listens, and doesn't condemn. Someone who keeps it confidential.
You may be finding that thoughts about the abortion disrupt your concentration by day or nightmares disturb your sleep at night.
You may find that feelings of sorrow, anger or anxiety well up when you least expect them. Your relationship with your husband, partner or children may have deteriorated since the abortion.
We can help.
We have counsellors who are specially trained to help you work through grief, anger, guilt and other issues so that you are able to function normally again. We can meet with you somewhere to talk in private, where you can express your pain and turmoil, understand yourself better and recover from what may have been a traumatic experience. This service is completely free.
