Christina Young

Christina Young is a qualified person-centred counsellor and a registered member of BACP (British association of counselling and psychotherapy) as well as a member of BICA (British infertility counselling association). Based in the United Kingdom, she has three years of experience and practises as a female, older therapist supporting people with grief, anxiety, depression and loss.

She has a particular interest in working with anyone affected by infertility - whether primary or secondary - and with those who are planning, beginning or ending fertility treatment. Christina also supports people who have experienced baby loss. These experiences can leave a person feeling isolated and carrying complex thoughts, and counselling can help to recognise and normalise feelings of grief and loss, prepare for feelings of lack of control and create space to express fears.

Losing a baby at any stage - including miscarriage, stillbirth or after birth - can be traumatic and may bring a multitude of painful emotions and a sense of lost future hopes and dreams. Christina offers a supportive space where clients can talk, express what they are feeling and explore what is happening for them.

Each person’s journey is treated as unique and Christina provides a non-judgmental environment in which difficult emotions such as anger, envy, isolation, stress, uncertainty and fear can be explored. Different areas of life may be affected during these times, including financial worries, work, family relationships and friendships.

Counselling with Christina can provide a safe place to pause, to talk and to work towards greater understanding of what is being felt and experienced. While she cannot take away all the pain, talking in a supportive space can help to lessen traumatic responses, reduce painful emotions and ease feelings of isolation.

Christina also collaborates with a charitable organisation that supports people affected by fertility- and pregnancy-related mental health issues and baby loss.
