About Christine
Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. She decided to become a therapist after therapy helped her through anxiety and an eating disorder. That personal experience shapes how she works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and anger.
Chrissy keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She aims to help people talk through the problems that are making day-to-day life harder. She uses everyday language and asks direct questions to help clients identify what feels most urgent and what might change first.
Her approach draws on several methods rather than one fixed model. Client-Centred Therapy helps her listen for what matters most to each person. Mindfulness and Somatic practices are used to notice how thoughts and the body interact. Trauma-focused techniques are included when past events are getting in the way of daily life.
Chrissy also uses skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help with intense emotions and impulsive reactions. She works with issues such as addictions, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related worries, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
People who come to Chrissy often want clear steps and tools to manage feelings and rebuild routine. She asks clients to be active in sessions, try new skills between meetings, and reflect on what helps. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her methods translate to online work
Chrissy commonly blends Client-Centred Therapy with Mindfulness and Somatic approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they can explore choices and next steps. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm and build tolerance of strong feelings. Somatic techniques encourage noticing bodily sensations and learning gentle ways to release tension that shows up in the body.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Chrissy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then suggest a mix of methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may change as clients learn what helps them most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day because they cut travel and allow sessions from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins or quieter, less demanding sessions when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online work useful for continuing consistent contact and practicing skills between meetings.
