Christina Young, BACP

Christina Young is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people through grief, anxiety, depression and the complex losses that follow fertility challenges. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which denotes recognised professional training and practice standards, and she also holds membership of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA), reflecting a particular focus on fertility-related emotional care.

Christina has a special interest in working with anyone affected by infertility, whether primary or secondary, and with those planning, undergoing, or concluding fertility treatment. She also supports people who have experienced baby loss including miscarriage, stillbirth or loss after birth. These experiences can leave people feeling isolated, overwhelmed by conflicting emotions, and unsure how to move forward. Christina offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space to acknowledge and normalise feelings of grief, fear and loss of future hopes.

Her practice recognizes that each person’s journey is unique. Christina helps clients explore difficult emotions such as anger, envy, shame, isolation and uncertainty, and considers how bereavement or fertility struggles can affect family relationships, work and finances. While counselling cannot remove pain, she aims to help reduce trauma-related distress, increase understanding of what is happening, and build ways of coping that feel meaningful for the individual.

Alongside her private practice, Christina contributes to a charitable organisation that supports people affected by fertility and pregnancy-related mental health challenges and baby loss, furthering her commitment to this area of care.

Client-Centered Care Online for Grief and Fertility-Related Issues

Christina practices client-centred therapy, an approach that places the individual at the heart of the work. This method emphasizes empathy, active listening and acceptance, helping clients explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. It can be especially helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain and identity questions that can emerge around fertility and loss.

Alongside the person-centred framework, Christina offers focused supportive counselling for fertility and pregnancy-related concerns. This work addresses the emotional impact of infertility, fertility treatment journeys and baby loss, offering space to process grief, fear and complex emotions that often feel isolating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina works with clients to identify which ways of working feel most helpful, adapting sessions to the person’s needs, goals and preferences so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving duties or geographical constraints, and allow consistent therapeutic support from registered professionals without needing to travel.
