Online CBT Therapy for Pregnancy After Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Baby Loss
Specialist support in your pregnancy after baby loss - so you can stop holding your breath at every scan and start living this pregnancy with more steadiness and hope.
What pregnancy after loss really feels like
Even when that test turns positive - your heart can’t fully relax.
You find yourself listening for every symptom. Hoping for “anything normal.” Breathing shallow at each scan. Wondering: is this really our turn, or will loss snatch it back? You want to trust the joy—but your mind keeps spinning worst-case scenarios.
I know. This is pregnancy after loss: the overlapping threads of hope and fear, relief and grief. It’s not overthinking. It’s your body and mind trying to protect you from more heartbreak. And it’s okay if excitement isn’t your first feeling this time.
You might:
Wishing you could have an ultrasound at home, just to check whenever the fear spikes.
Listening to the Doppler again at 2 a.m., telling yourself: “just one more heartbeat, then I’ll sleep.”
Keeping the news quiet until you’ve passed the week you lost your last baby, as if crossing that date might finally make it safe.
Smiling when someone congratulates you, then instantly feeling guilty because part of you is still expects the worst.
I’m Aleksandra, a BABCP- accredited CBT therapist, and I specialise in guiding women through pregnancy after miscarriage, stillbirth or traumatic loss. I help you build tools—not to bypass your fear, but to hold it differently. Tools that let you live this pregnancy with both grief and hope in your hands.
If you’re here reading this, maybe you need someone who understands exactly how raw the in-between is. If you want relief - not denial - let’s walk this path together.
It’s time for a change...Why you can’t stop worrying in pregnancy after loss?
When someone says, “you should be happy now,” it can feel like you’re failing at something that’s meant to be beautiful.
But your body remembers the heartbreak. Your mind remembers what it felt like to lose. And every scan, every symptom, every silence can feel like it’s happening again.
Are you…?
Googling every cramp or twinge, wondering if it’s the first sign of loss?
Checking for symptoms one hour — and convincing yourself something’s wrong when they ease the next?
Counting down to the next scan like it’s the only place you’ll feel safe — then panicking again as soon as it’s over?
Avoiding baby shops, maternity clothes, or even telling friends — because letting yourself connect feels too risky?
Walking into hospital spaces and feeling your chest tighten, like your body remembers before your mind does?
Wanting to hope, but hearing a voice that whispers: “don’t trust it, not yet”?
You’re not broken for feeling this way.
This is what happens when grief and pregnancy overlap. And you don’t have to do it alone.
How Therapy Can Help in Pregnancy After Baby Loss
Together we can work on:
✿ Breaking the spiral of Googling every cramp at 2 a.m. — so your nights feel less like survival mode.
✿ Finding ways to breathe at scans — not because the fear vanishes, but because you have tools to steady yourself in the waiting room.
✿ Easing the guilt when symptoms change — learning to notice your body without assuming the worst every time.
✿ Making space for both grief and hope — so you don’t feel like you’re failing if joy doesn’t come easily.
✿ Relieving the pressure to bond right now — allowing connection to come in its own time, without shame.
✿ Calming your worried mind — so your body isn’t always stuck in fight-flight-flight-freeze.
This isn’t about pretending everything’s fine.
It’s about finding ways to live through this pregnancy without drowning in dread - and letting yourself experience moments of steadiness, connection, and even hope.
You don’t have to keep white-knuckling your way through this pregnancy.
With the right support, you can carry both the fear and the hope — and finally feel like you don’t have to do it all alone.

This isn’t just “talk it out” therapy. It’s support built for this kind of pregnancy - the one where fear sits beside every flicker of hope.
Therapeutic Approaches I Use
Your care is grounded in clinical research and shaped by lived experience. These are some of the frameworks I draw from — always adapted to your story:
✿
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
→ Break the 2 a.m. spiral of Googling every symptom
→ Create calming rituals that help you breathe on scan days
→ Understand why your body stays on high alert, and how to gently soothe it
✿
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
→ Learn how to sit with fear without being consumed by it
→ Hold space for both grief and cautious hope — without forcing “positivity”
→ Stay grounded in the day you’re in, instead of fast-forwarding to worst-case scenarios
✿
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
→ Quiet the inner critic that says you’re “failing at pregnancy”
→ Release shame for not feeling joyful all the time
→ Build an inner voice that steadies you when guilt or fear take over
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It’s a toolkit we shape together - so you leave each session with something that helps you today, not just “someday.”

Why Work With a Specialist in Pregnancy After Loss?
You deserve support from someone who knows this terrain - not someone you need to educate about it.
✿ BABCP-accredited CBT therapist with 10+ years’ experience in maternal mental health
✿ Specialist focus on pregnancy after loss, birth trauma, tokophobia, and postnatal anxiety and depression
✿ Deep understanding of how grief and fear show up in the body — from sleepless nights to panic at the sound of a Doppler
✿ Trauma-informed care that’s steady, gentle, and never rushed
✿ Personal lived experience of navigating the tension between hope and heartbreak
This mix of clinical expertise and lived empathy means you won’t have to explain why you’re terrified at “good news,” or why hope feels dangerous. I already understand.

Q&AHave questions about the therapy?
-
You might experience panic before scans, obsessive symptom-checking, trouble bonding, or persistent dread. These are common — and treatable — symptoms of PAL anxiety.
-
Yes. CBT offers gentle, evidence-based tools to reduce anxiety, increase emotional regulation, and support trust in your body during PAL.
-
The length of therapy depends on your unique situation and needs. Typically, clients find 6-12 sessions helpful for managing anxiety and processing their emotions. However, some clients work with me through their whole pregnancy, others just for the first trimester or until after key scans.
-
Each therapy session costs £130 for 50 minutes. Payment is required 48 hours before the appointment via a secure payment link sent to your email. Please note that I offer therapy exclusively to self-funded clients, meaning sessions are paid privately. I do not work with insurance companies or public health services.
-
The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute call with me. This initial conversation allows us to determine whether we're a good fit and how I can best support you on your journey.
-
Yes, I offer psychotherapy sessions in English to clients based internationally, with the exception of those living in the USA and Canada.
If you're located in the USA or Canada, I can provide Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC) instead.
Please note: During the assessment, if we determine that this approach isn't the best fit for your needs, my ability to guide you toward alternative services may be limited, as I'm not fully familiar with the healthcare systems in every country.
-
I understand that sometimes life can be unpredictable. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the appointment will be charged the full session fee, as it’s often difficult to fill the slot at short notice. This policy applies to both therapy and supervision sessions.
