Counselling
Counselling as part of the abortion procedure.
Counselling services are available and offered as part of our abortion care. It is particularly important for those who are unsure about ending a pregnancy however the choice to accept or decline counselling is your decision. There are no extra costs for counselling provided as part of the abortion procedure.
Counsellors at AMAC are also qualified nurses who are unbiased and will respect and provide support, 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.
