About Christina
Counsellor Christina Young is a person-centred counsellor and a BACP member. She has three years' experience and works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns, including issues related to fertility and baby loss.
Christina focuses on listening and helping people put words to difficult feelings. She offers time to talk through grief after miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal loss. She also supports those starting, going through, or ending fertility treatment and the emotional upheaval that can follow.
Her approach is person-centred, which means she follows what each person brings to the session and responds without judgement. Sessions are used to name emotions like anger, guilt, shame or isolation, and to look at how these affect work, family and friendships. Christina helps people make sense of their feelings and to find ways to cope with day-to-day life.
She also works with issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, control issues and life-purpose questions. Christina notes particular experience with pregnancy and childbirth related distress and supports people affected by intellectual disability where this is relevant to their emotional needs.
Christina works with a charity supporting those affected by fertility and pregnancy-related mental health and baby loss. For anyone considering counselling she advises using the brief matching questionnaire to book an initial session and to confirm session options before arranging further appointments.
Person-centred counselling and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and supports the person to describe their feelings. This approach suits grief, anxiety, relationship concerns and issues around fertility where being heard helps people make sense of painful emotions.Christina uses person-centred principles to guide sessions. That means together they will decide what to focus on and how to work through difficult feelings. The approach is collaborative - the counsellor adapts to the person’s needs, goals and preferences as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and avoiding travel. They can be easier to combine with work or childcare and can shorten the time needed for a check-in. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer different formats, and Christina recommends checking current session choices when arranging the first appointment.
