About Christine
Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She began training after therapy helped her manage anxiety and an eating disorder, and she draws on that personal perspective in her work. Chrissy lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression among the concerns she supports. She also works with addictions, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar, ADHD, coaching and compassion fatigue.
Chrissy uses an integrative approach that combines methods she has found useful across her practice. Sessions are built around the client rather than a single method. Conversations tend to be practical and focused on what the person is experiencing now, and on what might help them feel steadier and clearer.
She draws on client-centred ideas to make the work collaborative, and on trauma-focused and somatic methods when past experience affects the body and daily functioning. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are included where they can help with emotional regulation and thinking patterns. This mix is applied thoughtfully rather than formulaically.
Clients can expect someone who knows the recovery process from personal and professional experience. Chrissy aims to help people talk through the issues that leave them stuck, identify manageable steps, and practise skills that reduce overwhelm. Her background includes work with complex, overlapping concerns rather than simple single-issue presentations.
If you are considering therapy for anger, stress, grief or related struggles, she asks potential clients to follow the platform process to match and book an initial session so you can see if her way of working feels right.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening, reflection and helping someone make their own choices about change. This approach is useful when people need space to sort thoughts, values and decisions.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or DBT offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. These are practical techniques used when strong feelings or repeated conflict cause problems at work or home.
Mindfulness is a set of practices that help people notice thoughts and bodily states without getting swept away by them. It can reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable. Together you will pick methods and exercises that fit your needs and pace, and adjust them as you go.
The platform describes how to arrange sessions and the subscription model used for booking and payments. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or enabling workday appointments that would otherwise be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals use these practical advantages to help therapy fit around everyday commitments.
