Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn, BACP

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn became a therapist after experiencing firsthand how counselling supported her through anxiety and an eating disorder, a background that informs her empathy and commitment to the therapeutic process. With 15 years of experience, she draws on personal insight and professional training to support people seeking meaningful change and recovery.

She creates a therapeutic environment where clients can bring the full range of concerns affecting their lives and explore them safely and without judgement. Her work is tailored to each person, combining different methods in an integrative way so that therapy is shaped around an individual's needs rather than a single fixed model.

Her practice addresses a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Christine is a member of BACP - the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and she accepts international clients and offers remote sessions to increase accessibility.

Online Approaches for Healing and Skill Building

Christine uses client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the process, providing empathic listening and support so clients can explore their feelings and decide on goals that matter to them. This approach is helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-destructive behaviours. DBT can be especially useful for anxiety, anger, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

Finally, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic experiences are central to a person's distress; this work carefully addresses traumatic memories and their impact while building coping strategies to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each client to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across distances, and enable clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most comfortable for them.
