How we can help?

At Amazing Grace, we support the emotional, psychological, and physical well-being of anyone affected by fetal loss, abnormality, or traumatic birth experiences in Fife. This includes parents, extended family, and friends who have been impacted.

Counselling Support

We provide talking therapy with professional counsellors, fully covered by us.

To access our service you will need to be referred by a member of the staff at the Victoria Hospital. Once you have been referred you will be given a leaflet with the contact details of our two counsellors, who are based in Fife. You can then contact the counsellor of your choice and arrange your first appointment. This communication will remain anonymous throughout. There is nothing else for you to do, the payment for the service is covered by us directly; all you have to look after yourself.

We can only offer free counselling if you are/where under the care of the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy. If not, we would like to direct you to some other Helpful Resources.
