| As a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy and finding it difficult to make a decision about the future, or experiencing emotional difficulties after pregnancy loss; who do you have to turn to, to ensure that in your difficulties you have someone who will listen, be non-judgemental and offer you support regardless of your situation. Often women are experiencing a grieving process and need to be able to talk their situation through, to view it with new eyes and explore and reflect in a safe environment. Therapy offers you the opportunity to do just this, to take time to process emotions that can be conflicting, confusing and conditional. At CPCP we help you to engage with pregnancy and parenting related issues that you are experiencing, to help facilitate a process of change to the place you would like to get to, giving space and going at the pace you feel comfortable with. Therapy is about you. Your counsellor will respect you with integrity; taking into consideration your culture, values and belief system as an individual. There are many experiences surrounding pregnancy, CPCP offers therapy to women who want to come to terms with emotional difficulties surrounding a current pregnancy and have experienced a pregnancy loss; including Miscarriage, Ectopic pregnancy, Stillbirth and termination of pregnancy. It may be that you have experienced giving up your baby through adoption and would like the opportunity to talk through the loss you may be feeling. Women who are experiencing difficulties in coming to terms with their infertility, or have had failed attempts with IVF treatment often can feel isolated in their experience; and therapy gives the possibility to find new ways to cope with this loss. 1 in 5 couples experience difficulty conceiving. If you are a single Mother struggling and coming to terms with aspects of your life that are difficult in raising your child alone, maybe it is the space and solace that therapy can offer that appeals to you doing something for you. Post-natal depression affects many women and at a time where there is a great expectation about you as a Mother, it is difficult for people to understand why you might be feeling the way you do. Talking through your experience of Motherhood is one way of feeling a little more supported when others don’t seem to understand. At CPCP individual counselling face to face and group support is available on a short to longer term basis. See: What is Counselling and Psychotherapy?
