Pre-abortion counselling
Finding yourself with an unplanned pregnancy can be a difficult time.
Making decisions at this time when your head says something, and your heart says something else, can be a nightmare.
You may want to discuss these issues with a professional who is not involved with the pregnancy.
You may also want to discuss and understand fully the options available to you.
Post-abortion counselling
Some men and women need to talk and clarify their feelings of sadness, loss. and guilt after an abortion. You may want to discuss these issues with a professional who is not involved.
These feelings may emerge years later, after the birth, or a loss, of a child. Very often these feelings manifest as sexual or relationship problems. These often have to be disentangled.
