Had an abortion?

For women (and their partners) troubled by a past abortion we offer a ten step recovery programme called The Journey. Over ten weekly sessions, taken in a group or one-to-one, we help women to express their feelings of anger, guilt and grief and find healthy ways of dealing with these emotions.

The programme addresses painful issues of accountability and forgiveness enabling clients to come to terms with the finality of the past and move on with renewed hope for the future.

We have been running this programme successfully for several years and found that women (or men) always benefit and finish in a better place than they started.

Some comments from post-abortion clients:

“Very welcoming, gentle and calm”

17 year old girl one year after her abortion

“it enabled me to come to terms with one of the most devastating decisions of my life.”

39 year old woman five years on from her abortion

“it’s been a painful and soul-searching journey ….. but you’ve helped us change the course of our lives and we thank you so much for that”
