About Christine
Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn is a counsellor with 15 years' experience who draws on her own recovery to inform her work. She trained with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and uses that experience to help people facing anxiety and related struggles. Chrissy aims to make therapy straightforward and supportive for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
She creates a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on understanding the issues and finding practical steps to help day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Chrissy adapts her approach to each person rather than using a single fixed method. Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also has experience with addictions, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem.
This range means she is used to addressing linked problems that often appear together. Chrissy practises in an integrative way, combining tools from different therapeutic approaches to fit each person. She uses client-centred listening alongside techniques from mindfulness, trauma-focused work, somatic therapy and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy.
The aim is to help people feel clearer and more able to take small, steady steps forward. Clients can expect plain language, practical suggestions and steady support. Sessions emphasise coping strategies, building resilience and exploring how past experiences affect current life.
Chrissy works with people who want a collaborative process to find the direction that suits them.
How Chrissy's approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers non-judgemental attention and helps you identify your own goals and next steps. This approach is useful for building trust and working through anxiety and low self-esteem.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without becoming overwhelmed. It can help with stress, sleep problems and emotional regulation by introducing brief, practical exercises to use day to day.
Trauma-focused work looks at how past events continue to affect current feelings and reactions. This method uses gradual, paced techniques to reduce reactivity and help people find more safety in how they live now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chrissy will collaborate with each person to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She starts with listening and then offers options to try, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper discussion, phone sessions give an option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. This mix makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
