Welcome

Tenshi Pregnancy Loss Counselling Service You have been given the news that you have lost your unborn baby and you start to wonder...was it something I did? Was this miscarriage my fault? You feel uncomfortable sharing these private thoughts with your family and friends. I want to tell you something, and I want you to listen. Losing your baby was not your fault. The Tenshi Counselling service was created for you, to provide you with understanding and support at a time that is crucial. Sharing your grief honours your baby and allows you to move forward when the time is right.

Tenshi Counselling is an online service supporting people who have experienced miscarriage. After experiencing a miscarriage, some people feel that it would be helpful to discuss their feelings, however they find that accessing counselling is difficult or inconvenient. Sometimes the cost is too high; sometimes the thought of speaking face to face with a counsellor is intimidating; sometimes living in a rural area or working shifts prevents attending a session and often, working full time or having children at home can make it difficult to find a convenient time. Due to the unique nature of miscarriage, grieving for a baby that was not born, you may find that some people close to you do not realise to what extent this is a significant and sad event and you in turn, may feel embarrassed for wanting or needing to talk to someone.

Tenshi Counselling was a concept borne through an understanding of these reasons. The process of sitting down and composing an email about your experience of pregnancy loss and your feelings of grief can be a cathartic process and opens the dialogue between you and your counsellor, who will respond to your questions and provide support and resources during your time of sadness and of healing. Emailing is a non-confrontational form of communication whereby you get to sit down at a time that suits you and take your time to really think about what you want to say. Losing an unborn baby is a unique grief and a powerful sorrow, however it is one that can benefit from dialogue
