Can I speak to a counsellor before or after an abortion?

If you would like more information about your options when pregnant, or would like guidance on whether you need to seek medical help after an abortion, you could start by contacting FPAS and speaking to a volunteer.
 
If you would like face-to-face sessions with a counsellor who is known to be pro-choice and has agreed to offer such sessions, FPAS will be able to give you their contact details.
