As a bereaved mother who has experienced the devastating loss of a child, Chantal brings both professional expertise and genuine lived understanding to her work with grieving parents. She recognises that the loss of a child is unlike any other and that grief can be overwhelming, isolating and lifelong. Chantal offers a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where parents do not need to explain or justify their pain. Drawing on her personal experience as well as her extensive clinical training and 23 years of practice, she supports parents to navigate the complexities of grief at their own pace, honour their child and find ways to live alongside their loss while gradually rebuilding meaning, connection and hope.

I am a pregnancy and early parenting counsellor who supports parents following miscarriage, pregnancy loss, infertility and birth trauma. This work is deeply personal to me. My own experiences of loss, grief and navigating pregnancy after loss shape the way I show up with compassion, understanding and care. I offer a calm, non-clinical space where parents can gently process grief, trauma and anxiety at their own pace. My approach weaves together evidence-based therapy with holistic practices, supporting healing in a way that feels safe, grounding and human. Above all, I am committed to helping parents feel less alone as they navigate loss and find their way forward.
