Pregnancy
Support

Pregnancy can often be a time of joy and excitement, but sometimes pregnancy can bring about anxiety, confusion, worry and difficulty. Sometimes a previous pregnancy or difficult delivery can cloud the excitement of a second pregnancy.

If you are expecting a baby and are facing any kind of challenge related to the pregnancy then it can help to talk it over with someone.

We can offer you one-to-one appointments with trained counsellors who will offer support throughout your pregnancy. Don't struggle alone, get in touch today to make your first appointment. 

Pregnancy support appointments are offered free of charge although you are invited to make a donation where possible. Please contact us today if you would like to come and talk to someone.

Our counselling services are offered to people living in and around Watford, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and the surrounding villages.

Your details will be legitimately used and stored for the purposes of arranging an appointment, informing you about our services and record keeping. 

What our clients have said

  • My consultant referred me to Alternatives who claim to offer 'life-changing emotional and practical support for anyone facing pregnancy-related challenges'. I can, hand on heart say that they do just that. Without this wonderful service I'm not sure how I would have got through my pregnancy.....with the help of Alternatives I was able to get myself in a good place and grieve for a baby I had lost but remain positive about the baby I was carrying.

  • Thank you for your help and support over the last months, I have looked for the right counsellor for ages and am so glad I had you there to help me through my pregnancy. I feel I am going into motherhood a bit more prepared and knowing you are there will also make things a bit easier. I really can’t thank you enough.

  • Our son, who was born early, was 12 weeks old yesterday and things are going well. It’s been up and down at times but overall a completely different experience from last time and that’s down to the amazing support I’ve received from those around me, including you, so thank you.
