About Christine
Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation. She began this work after her own experience with anxiety and an eating disorder, and she uses that lived experience to inform her approach. Chrissy aims to give people a straightforward, compassionate space to talk about what is weighing on them.
Chrissy spends time listening first so the person she meets feels understood. She helps clients name what is happening and then looks at practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions are shaped around each person rather than following a fixed formula.
Over 15 years she has worked with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also supports people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and low self esteem, and career or life-change challenges.
Her work mixes approaches to suit the individual. Methods include client-centred listening, mindfulness practices, elements of somatic work and trauma-focused ways of addressing painful memories. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills are also used where helpful.
Chrissy aims to help people find clarity and practical ways to move forward. She encourages small, steady changes and combines gentle challenge with real-world tools. People are invited to set the pace and goals that feel right for them.
How Chrissy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers non-judgemental support and helps people find their own solutions, which can suit conversations held remotely. Mindfulness Therapy brings straightforward practices to calm the body and mind, such as breathing and grounding exercises that people can try between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to carefully address distressing memories and their impact, using gentle, paced methods to reduce symptoms over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Chrissy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods to match each person's needs. That collaborative process continues across sessions so plans can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to use tools like short check-ins or mindfulness between meetings. It also makes it possible for international clients to work with a UK-based counsellor without relocating.
