Baby Loss Therapy in Australia, With a Therapist Who Has Lived It

Finding someone to talk to who has personal experience of loss made me feel seen and understood from day one. Sessions were gentle, compassionate and thoughtful conversations — no tests, no 'gotcha' moments. Our work together completely changed how I approach my feelings and honour myself in this space. The balance of grief and hope.

We lost a baby at 12 weeks. It was the hardest time of our life and Roisin was a huge support — giving me space to talk through my feelings and the challenge of parenting a toddler during this grief. Talking about it is hard, but talking has been incredibly therapeutic. I've reached a point where I can talk about our loss without crying. I feel much more in control.

I reached out because Roisin had been through what I had been through, and I thought she would understand. She really does understand, and is so compassionate. After three miscarriages in six months I did not feel like I could trust my body or my instinct — she helped me heal so that I could move forward in hope of having a healthy pregnancy. It's like talking to a friend, but without any judgment as to how you're feeling, or advice as to how you should be feeling. I feel more like myself than I have in months.

I reached out because the grief I had been holding on to was starting to impact my everyday life. Working together has been a really positive experience — I've felt listened to, understood and supported without feeling judged. Roisin makes it feel okay to talk about the loss, even when the emotions are difficult or overwhelming, and I've never felt rushed or pressured to 'move on'. I particularly appreciate being able to go at my own pace. The sessions have given me a safe space to work through my grief, and I'm really grateful for that.
