When It's Your Time To Talk

Phone:

Our knowledgeable and understanding counsellors (male and female counsellors available) are here to support you with a confidential chat when you’re ready. No matter how far along the pregnancy was, or whether your loss was recent or in the past.

Speak face-to-face (virtually) within a safe environment. Our counsellors use earphones to ensure chat privacy and our online platform operates with a secure “closed door” function.
