"Mostly good "

The staff I spoke to book my medical abortion were really understanding. The nurse for my telephone appointment was also lovely, didn't judge and I was made to feel at ease. This side of the service I received was brilliant.

I needed to access counselling following my abortion, which I did not find helpful. The counsellor was quite dismissive at some points, really not helpful in my grief. The counsellor just kept repeating what I said, which I know they do to get clarity but literally this made me feel angry to just hear a repeat of what I had said constantly throughout sessions. I did not find the counsellor helpful and some comments made were awful and didn't take into account my circumstances. Then the counsellor said I could have further sessions once my sessions end, but I would need to pay. It felt like the counsellor was trying to 'sell' rather than actually caring. I won't be taking up on paying for further sessions, especially given that I feel more irritated by sessions than helped.

However, the nurses prior to my abortion and those I spoke to during the abortion for advice were amazing.
