About Christine

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also works with addictions, relationship and family issues, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Chrissy says therapy helped her through anxiety and an eating disorder, and that experience informs how she works. She aims to create a space where clients can open up about the problems affecting them. Sessions focus on talking things through, building practical skills and finding clearer direction.

Her practice is integrative. That means she draws on different approaches to suit each person rather than following one fixed method. The biography lists client-centred therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy or DBT, mindfulness, somatic and trauma-focused work as the main methods she uses.

In sessions she combines practical techniques with reflective discussion. For some people that means learning grounding and emotion-regulation skills from DBT. For others it means using mindfulness or body-based somatic exercises to reduce overwhelm. The aim is to identify what helps a person feel steadier and more able to cope.

Chrissy also offers coaching-style support for career and life-change issues alongside more traditional therapeutic work. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches transfer to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. Online sessions use that same conversational style to help clients clarify feelings and decide on next steps. DBT teaches concrete skills such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills can be practised and reviewed during a remote session to help with panic, anger or intense mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits day-to-day life.

The biography does not list session formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family life. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when time is limited, try camera-off conversations if that helps them engage, or schedule sessions around work breaks. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often find these practical options help people maintain continuity of care.
