About Christine

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation. She came to the work after personal experience with anxiety and an eating disorder, so she understands what it feels like to be on the other side of therapy. Chrissy focuses on helping people find clarity and direction through compassionate conversation and practical steps.

She builds a calm space where clients can talk about what is most worrying them. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed formula. Chrissy draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs in the moment.

Over 15 years she has helped people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also supports clients dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Her work uses client-centred listening alongside strategies from dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness, somatic practice and trauma-focused work. That means sessions may include learning grounding skills, exploring patterns that keep problems going, and simple exercises to manage strong feelings.

Chrissy offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. She asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centred therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people identify what matters most to them, which suits worries like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship stress.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It is often used when people struggle with strong anger, mood swings or self-soothing difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, current challenges and personal preferences, and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as things change.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how Chrissy is offering appointments. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel and family life, and it can reduce time spent travelling. Some people prefer shorter check-ins on busier days while others use longer sessions for deeper processing. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session timing and pace to match everyday routines.
