About Christina
She has particular experience supporting people affected by infertility and by pregnancy and baby loss. Christina understands how isolating fertility challenges and baby loss can feel, and she helps people name and make sense of difficult emotions. She will sit with feelings like anger, guilt, shame and uncertainty, and help clients to recognise normal reactions to painful events.
Sessions are grounded in person centred, or Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what’s been said, and helping people find their own way forward. Discussions often cover how grief or anxiety affects everyday life, work and relationships.
Christina also helps with stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, intimacy-related issues, anger and career worries. She aims to make counselling practical, for instance by helping people plan small steps to manage difficult moments or regain a sense of direction.
People who choose her can expect a straightforward, compassionate approach. Christina also works with a charity that supports those affected by fertility and pregnancy related mental health and baby loss.

Step 3
How Client-Centred Therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people make sense of their own experience. The therapist aims to reflect what the client says, validate feelings and support personal choices. This approach can help with grief, anxiety, fertility-related distress and issues around self-worth.In practice the counsellor creates a calm space to talk and helps the client identify small steps forward. Sessions often look at how difficult feelings affect everyday life, relationships and work. The therapist works collaboratively, checking in about what is helpful and adapting the approach to the person’s goals and preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will discuss options with the client. Together they consider what feels most useful given the person’s needs, priorities and comfort with different ways of working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow someone to join from a quieter location. Telephone sessions can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed, while video calls allow face-to-face conversation that can help with emotional expression.
