About Christine

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor after finding therapy helpful for her own anxiety and an eating disorder. She now brings 15 years of experience to short- and long-term work. Chrissy is BACP registered which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's standards.

She works from an individualised perspective and aims to help people find clearer direction and hope. Chrissy invites clients to talk through what is causing distress in their lives.

Background and approach

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space for discussing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse. Other common topics she helps with include grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping issues, anger and low self-esteem. Her approach is integrative.

That means she draws on several ways of working such as trauma-focused therapy, somatic techniques, mindfulness, client-centred listening and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. She adapts methods to fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth.

Conversations aim to help people build coping skills, manage overwhelming emotions and make calmer choices when under pressure. Chrissy also supports people dealing with career stress, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. She offers remote sessions to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.

New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to suit their schedule.

How online approaches and therapy methods work together

Trauma-focused therapy helps people process distressing memories and reactions by gently revisiting difficult experiences and developing new ways to respond to triggers. It is often used for symptoms that follow abuse or other overwhelming events. Client-centred therapy concentrates on listening without judgement and helping the person find their own answers; it supports self-awareness and emotional clarity. Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. If something does not feel helpful, they can adjust the plan together so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule regular contact, keep momentum between sessions and access therapy from different locations.
