About Christine

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor and brings 15 years of experience to her practice. She began counselling after her own experience with anxiety and an eating disorder, so she understands what it feels like to be on the other side of therapy. Chrissy aims to help people find clarity and direction so they can move forward in practical ways.

Chrissy creates a calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them. She listens without judgement and adapts her approach to each person. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that feel doable.

Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside other methods. That means sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed formula. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic work and Trauma-Focused approaches when these fit a person’s needs.

Chrissy has particular experience with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and low self-esteem. She works with career challenges, bipolar, coping with life changes, coaching and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are run from the United Kingdom and she works in English. International clients are welcome. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that suit online work and personal needs

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive space where the person leads the conversation. It helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and choices without pressure.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, introduces practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful for people who need concrete tools for coping day-to-day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chrissy will discuss goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. That choice is made together, based on what feels most useful for the person’s situation and preferences.

Online therapy can make attending sessions easier to fit around work, family and travel. It can reduce time spent commuting and allow sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm whether video, phone or other options are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and frequency to match how someone wants to work, helping therapy fit into everyday life without asking for major schedule changes.
