Miscarriage is a difficult experience that many people face, and is more common than people imagine. Before a baby is born parents experience so much joy as they plan for the birth of their child. Whether your miscarriage was during the early weeks of pregnancy or much later on, coping with a miscarriage can cause a wide spectrum of challenging emotions in both parents.

It is important to remind yourself that the miscarriage is highly unlikely to have occurred as a direct result of anything that you did or did not do. Miscarriage is nature’s way of ensuring survival by allowing only the strongest and healthiest pregnancies to continue. Unexplained miscarriage is therefore not a sign that something is wrong with is, but a sign that our bodies are functioning as they should.

How we can help you through your journey?

Coping with a miscarriage is not easy but there is help available so you don’t have to do it alone. At Anchoridge Counselling, we understand how challenging it is to feel the emotions that happen as a result and provide a safe space where you can talk about it. Treatment is customized to fit the specific needs of each person. We use psychotherapy methods such as:

1. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
2. Supportive Talk Therapy
3. Solution Focused Therapy
4. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

...to help individuals normalize the emotions that arise from the miscarriage, provide information to help understand it, acknowledge and process their grief, navigate challenging social situations and teaching new ways of coping.​
