At The Nest Club, we offer gentle, specialist counselling for individuals and couples navigating abortion — whether considering your options, moving through the experience, or making sense of it afterwards. This can be an intensely turbulent time; feelings are often layered and complex; relief and sadness, clarity and uncertainty, grief and resolve. Whatever is present, it is welcome here. Nothing is minimised. Nothing is judged.
Our therapists offer calm, steady support. This is your place to pause, to speak openly, and to be met with care. Our therapists understand the emotional complexity that can surround abortion. You won’t have to justify your feelings or make them neater than they are. This is compassionate, respectful counselling with therapists who truly get it, helping you feel less alone as you move through a decision that deserves understanding and dignity.
Therapy works best when you feel a real connection. That’s why we focus on matching you with a therapist who understands your world; whether you’re navigating fertility, parenthood, relationships, or simply the ups and downs of everyday life. Our therapists bring diverse experience and are united by a passion to support people through the pivotal moments of life with a belief that this doesn’t just change individual lives; it strengthens families, communities, and workplaces. Just choose your therapist, find a time, and start where you are.
Abortion counselling offers a safe, confidential space to talk openly about whatever you’re experiencing. Some people come because they’re unsure about what decision to make. Others come afterwards to process the emotional impact. Feelings can be complex and sometimes unexpected; relief, sadness, grief, certainty, doubt or a mix of many things. Counselling helps you make sense of these feelings at your own pace, with someone who listens without judgement.
Yes. Many people seek counselling while they are still deciding what feels right for them. Therapy can offer a calm, supportive space to think things through without pressure or agenda. Your therapist won’t tell you what to do. Instead, they’ll help you explore your thoughts, values and circumstances so you can arrive at a decision that feels considered and right for you.
Absolutely. People sometimes find that feelings around abortion emerge or shift over time. You might not have had space to reflect on the experience when it first happened. Counselling can be helpful whether the abortion was recent or many years ago. There is no 'right' timeline for processing something meaningful.
Yes. Partners can also experience a range of emotions — sometimes similar, sometimes very different. Therapy can support individuals or couples in understanding each other’s experiences and navigating the impact on the relationship. For some couples, it can be helpful to have a space to talk openly about what the experience has meant for both of them.
Yes. All counselling at The Nest Club is confidential. What you discuss with your therapist stays private, except in the rare circumstances where there is a serious risk of harm, which follows standard professional safeguarding guidelines. Our aim is to create a space where you feel safe to speak openly and honestly.
Some people come for a small number of sessions to talk through a specific decision or experience. Others choose to continue for longer if they want more time to explore the emotional impact. Your therapist will work with you at your pace, and there’s no pressure to commit to a set number of sessions.
