About Christine
Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor after her own experience of anxiety and an eating disorder showed her how life can improve with the right support. She holds BACP registration and has practised for 15 years in the United Kingdom. Chrissy aims to make the first steps feel manageable and calm for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is hardest for them.
How Christine works
Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going and on small, practical steps that help day-to-day life. Chrissy listens closely and tailors the work to each person rather than relying on one fixed method. Her background includes helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression.
She also supports those facing addictions, relationship or family tensions, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem. Other areas she works with include career issues, bipolar, coping with life changes, coaching and compassion fatigue. Chrissy draws on a mix of methods to fit the person in front of her.
That can mean using client-centred listening alongside mindfulness, somatic techniques or trauma-focused tools as needed. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills may be incorporated when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Her sessions are practical and collaborative.
She helps people find clearer thinking, safer routines and better ways to handle big emotions. The aim is steady progress so clients can move forward with more confidence and control.

Online support options
Online therapy using practical and trauma-aware approaches
Christine combines client-centred work with mindfulness and trauma-focused methods to help people online. Client-Centred Therapy means she offers attentive listening and supports people to find their own solutions; this fits worries about stress, self-esteem and life decisions. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and focus. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm affects the body and mind and offers paced ways to process distress and build safer routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful and adapt techniques to a person’s needs and goals. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to make sure the plan stays helpful.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face experience, phone sessions can fit around a busy day and need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or steady ongoing support. These options give flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy going alongside other commitments.
