Specialised psychological support

Perinatal Grief

The loss of a baby during pregnancy, birth or shortly after is a pain that deserves to be recognised, named and accompanied. There is no rush. There is no right way.

Specialised therapeutic space

A space where your pain has a place

Perinatal grief is one of the most invisible and least understood forms of loss. Society often does not know how to accompany it, minimises it, or rushes those going through it to move on. But this pain is real, and the bond with your baby is too.

I offer you a specialised psychological space for people who have experienced the loss of a baby during pregnancy, birth or shortly after. A space to put words to what you have lived, at your own pace, without anyone trying to erase your pain.

Your loss will be recognised and held. Your bond will be legitimised. Your pain will be accompanied without trying to make it disappear.

I can support you with

Miscarriage and early pregnancy loss
Late pregnancy loss and stillbirth
Neonatal loss
Termination for medical reasons
Losses that have been invisibilised or unrecognised
Intrusive thoughts, guilt and self-blame
The impact of grief on the body
Fear in the face of a new pregnancy

What fits in this space

The emotions that inhabit grief

In grief there are no stages to follow or deadlines to meet. There are emotions that come, that stay, that need space. Here, each one is welcomed.

Pain

Sadness

Misunderstanding

Respect

Tenderness

Key concept

The Bond

Perinatal grief is often minimised because there are few tangible memories, because the world did not get to know your baby, or because others believe the pain should be proportional to the time shared. But the bond with your baby began long before birth and does not end with loss.

Your baby existed. Your bond is real. Your grief is legitimate. Part of the therapeutic work is integrating your baby into your life story — not erasing the loss, but honouring what was lived.

How we work together

What the sessions are like

A contained space, at your pace, without pressure of any kind.

First session

Recognition and listening

The first meeting is above all a space of reception. Together we explore:

What happened and how you have experienced it
How you are emotionally, physically and relationally
The impact of the loss on your daily life
Your support network and how it has responded
What you are looking for in this space

You don't need to be ready or know what to say. It's enough to come.

During the process

Sessions can focus on

Naming and validating what you feel without judgement
Working through guilt, self-blame and intrusive thoughts
The impact of grief on the body and day-to-day life
How to manage dates, anniversaries and difficult triggers
Relational loneliness and social misunderstanding
Memories, rituals and meaningful ways to honour your baby
Grief as a couple and the differences in how it is experienced

Integration

Over time, the work moves towards

Integrating the loss into your life story
Finding a way to carry the bond without it being paralysing
Rebuilding a sense of meaning and continuity
Accompanying a possible new pregnancy emotionally
Recovery of identity and vital projects
Living with the absence in a conscious and connected way

Integrating grief does not mean forgetting. It means finding a way to carry it that allows you to keep living.

Tools we use

Narrative and autobiographical work Emotional processing techniques Psychoeducation on grief Memory and ritual work Body-focused awareness

If you feel you need this space, I'm here

You don't need to be ready or know what to say. It's enough to feel that you don't want to go through this alone.
