Christina Young , BACP

Christina Young is a person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on supporting people through grief, anxiety, depression and loss, with particular experience around fertility, pregnancy and baby loss. Christina offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about painful feelings and confusing thoughts. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.

Christina works with those affected by infertility at any stage - from planning treatment to coping after a loss. She recognises how fertility struggles can trigger isolation, guilt, shame and a sense of loss of control. In sessions she helps people name and normalise these feelings, and to prepare for practical and emotional changes.

Loss after pregnancy can touch every part of life. Christina invites people to express anger, grief and the loss of future hopes. She also addresses the ripple effects that loss can have on finances, work and friendships, helping people make sense of how their life is changing.

The counselling room is used as a place to pause, reflect and gain clarity. Christina helps people understand their reactions, develop coping strategies and rebuild a sense of direction. She aims to reduce the weight of traumatic feelings through steady, compassionate listening.

Alongside her practice, Christina works with a charity supporting people affected by fertility and pregnancy-related mental health and baby loss. This gives her regular contact with the experiences of people navigating these issues.

Person-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps name feelings and supports someone to find their own solutions. This approach is often used for grief, bereavement, infertility-related distress and anxiety because it creates space to process strong emotions.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Christina will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the person-centred approach to fit those priorities. That choice is made collaboratively and may change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, appointments and family life.
