Christina Young , BACP

Christina Young is a qualified person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as well as the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA). She supports people experiencing grief, anxiety, depression and various forms of loss, with particular experience in issues connected to infertility and pregnancy-related loss.

Christina works with individuals affected by primary or secondary infertility, those planning, beginning or ending fertility treatment, and people who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth or loss after birth. She recognises how these experiences can bring intense feelings of isolation, complex thoughts and a sense of loss of future hopes. In counselling she helps clients name and normalise those responses, prepare for feelings of lack of control and find ways to express fears.

Each person’s journey is treated as unique, and Christina offers a non-judgmental, supportive space to explore difficult emotions such as anger, envy, isolation, stress, uncertainty and fear. She also acknowledges the practical ripple effects of loss and health challenges - including financial worries, work pressures and changes in family or friendship dynamics - and works with clients to gain insight and coping strategies.

While she does not promise to remove all pain, Christina aims to provide a place to pause, to talk and to reduce feelings of trauma and isolation through a compassionate, person-centred approach. She also collaborates with a charitable organisation that supports those affected by fertility and pregnancy-related mental health and baby loss.

Client-Centred Care and Online Therapy Options

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work - listening without judgment, reflecting back concerns and supporting clients to find their own understanding and choices. This approach is especially helpful for people navigating grief, infertility-related loss, anxiety or the emotional aftermath of pregnancy loss because it focuses on validating feelings and building self-awareness.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Christina works collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most helpful. She discusses goals, preferences and practical needs with clients and adapts the way she works to suit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people managing treatment schedules, work or childcare. These options make it possible to meet with licensed professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time and allow sessions to fit more easily into daily life while keeping the focus on meaningful, effective support.
