Baby Loss Coaching
confidential comfort
in person / virtual
For so many the journey into parenting is a struggle.
Time off work is helpful for the body to heal but the heart needs more.
Often people don’t know what to say. Sometimes people inadvertently hurt us when we are already hurting. Sometimes people hurt us on purpose.
I offer Baby Loss Coaching having been in my own dark valley and I will join you and gently walk alongside. Your loss is real. Your healing matters.
not-this-time parents
can help
As an experienced and qualified Baby Loss Coach I support those grieving lost little one(s).
Whether it was recent or long ago.
Whether it was your own baby or the baby of another that you longed to hold and welcome into the world.
The waves of Baby Loss ripple far beyond the parents.
Baby Loss Coaching is a talking therapy that allows you to share private pain, validate loss and begin to process grief.
Trying to function in the aftermath of losing a little one(s) is so hard and can feel overwhelming.
Baby loss comes in many forms
- Infertility struggles
- IVF disappointment
- Miscarriage grief
- Stillbirth sadness
- TFMR trauma
- SUDI loss
- Post abortion sorrow
- and more
The emotional aftermath often puts a strain on relationships, reduces performance at work and can negatively impact mental, emotional and physical health.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is natural to have many questions before making contact.
Below you will find answers to some of the questions my clients ponder.
To help you feel prepared and calm before your first session I email a free
"Explaining Baby Loss Coaching"
pack to you before you begin. It explains in detail what you can expect, so that you can sleep well the night before.
Please know your courage will be matched with kindness.
How does Baby Loss Coaching work?
Coaching enables you to create dedicated, private time to share your loss. You will be able to open up as much as you are comfortable. You can expect to do most of the talking. I will do most of the listening. You are offered a private time to share, reflect, recognise who and what has been lost, validate your feelings and move forward in the best way for you.
Why do you offer Baby Loss Coaching?
My difficult journey into parenthood has become my vocation. Problem pregnancy, traumatic birth, postpartum depression, miscarriage, IVF disappointment & secondary infertility. All whilst working in a large organisation. I walk alongside others & I understand the professional landscape within which they are trying to become a parent (or decide not to become a parent). I listen sincerely and understand the value of validating another’s loss.
What if I get emotional?
This is normal. This is ok. Most clients cry during their initial session(s). Many feel angry too.
I didn’t start to grieve my own baby loss until 5 years after it happened. I thought “I had gotten over it” - I hadn’t. Often baby loss is a hidden hurt, pushed deep down and covered over.
Tissues might well be needed but bring yourself just as you are. It's ok to get emotional.
Is it normal for reaching out to feel hard?
Clients sometimes tell me that they wanted to get in touch with me but actually doing so wasn't easy.
I do understand. When something is so painful it can be daunting to revisit. It takes strength to get in touch and ask for help.
Baby Loss is not easy to discuss but the benefits of allowing thoughts and emotions to be voiced are significant.
Does online therapy work?
Online therapy offers you the opportunity to stay in your familiar surroundings and still receive professional support - conveniently and without having to travel.
Other benefits of meeting virtually include:
- privacy to speak freely
- anonymity (camera off) can be important to clients
- ability to gently re-engage with your day
