About Christine

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor and has around 15 years of clinical experience. She came to the profession after therapy helped her through anxiety and an eating disorder, so she understands the client perspective personally. Chrissy emphasises a compassionate, down-to-earth approach that aims to help people find greater clarity and direction.

In sessions she creates a calm space where clients can talk about the issues that matter most to them. Conversations focus on understanding how difficulties are affecting day-to-day life and on practical steps that feel manageable. Her work is tailored to each person rather than following a single formula.

Chrissy draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. Examples she uses include client-centred listening, mindfulness practices, somatic techniques and trauma-informed methods. She also integrates skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy where helpful for emotional regulation.

Her main areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. She also supports people facing relationship and family challenges, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, career issues and bipolar-related coping.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom, and she accepts international clients. The therapist notes that therapy is a collaborative process and she aims to help each person find the right pace and direction for their own life.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist offers non-judgemental listening and helps people find their own solutions, which works well when sessions are run remotely or in person.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity. These skills can be practised between sessions and are useful for anxiety, sleeping problems and mood regulation.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, contributes practical skills for emotional regulation and coping. Short exercises and skills coaching are often used alongside reflective conversation to manage intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor each plan to what fits the person’s life and needs.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit more easily around work, childcare and travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent travelling. Registered or accredited professionals use these practical benefits to help sessions fit into everyday life rather than reorganising it entirely.
