Counselling
Counselling as part of the abortion process:
Counselling is available as part of your care, especially if you’re unsure about ending a pregnancy. However, whether or not to have counselling is your choice. There is no extra cost for this service. Our team will support you without judgment, whatever decision you make.
Abortion counselling is designed to:
- assist in identifying thoughts and feelings about your unique situation;
- explore the available options of parenting, adoption and abortion;
- provide relevant information to help assist reaching an informed decision;
- enable a person to make their own choices, reach their own decisions and act upon them.
Where ambivalence remains following a counselling session we strongly advise not to proceed with the abortion the same day.
