Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn
A warm practical counsellor for life changes
About Christine
Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor after her own experience of therapy helped her through anxiety and an eating disorder. She brings 15 years of practice and a BACP registration to her work. Chrissy writes plainly and aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable.
She helps people find clarity and direction when life feels overwhelming. Chrissy believes therapy should fit the person, not the other way round. She adapts her approach for each individual, drawing on different methods as needed.
Background and approach
That means sessions can look very different depending on what a person needs right now. Conversations are paced to suit the client and focused on practical steps as well as emotional understanding. People come to Chrissy for many issues.
She works with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career strain. Other areas she supports include eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar-related difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
In sessions Chrissy tends to blend client-centred listening with skills from approaches such as mindfulness, DBT and trauma-focused work. She will use bodily-focused methods when the body holds strong memories or tension. The aim is to help people feel steadier in themselves and better able to make choices that suit them.
Chrissy works with people across the United Kingdom and with international clients in English. Her style is warm, practical and direct. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

How Chrissy's approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. Online this means sessions are shaped around what the client needs to talk about and the pace that suits them. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills like emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills adapt well to video or phone sessions where people can practise strategies and receive coaching in real time. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations with less reactivity and can be taught through guided exercises during an online session.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chrissy will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust the plan as needed. She takes a collaborative stance so the person and the therapist decide which tools to use and when to change direction.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or who want support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still using the same therapeutic approaches.
