About me

Hi, I'm Lucy Sumner, an accredited Integrative Counsellor with a specialist focus on supporting individuals navigating the pain and complexity of miscarriage, babyloss, termination for medical reasons (TFMR), and infertility. With professional training, personal experience, and empathy, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions, find clarity, and feel understood.

How I Can Help:
Miscarriage, babyloss, and infertility can feel isolating, leaving you unsure of where to turn.
