About Christine
Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor and holds BACP registration. She began this work after therapy helped her through anxiety and an eating disorder, so she speaks from personal experience as well as professional practice. Chrissy aims to make therapy a straightforward place to talk, learn and begin to feel better.
She builds sessions around each person's needs rather than using one set method. That means conversations might include practical skills, reflective listening, body-focused exercises or trauma-informed work depending on what is most useful.
Background and approach
Chrissy keeps language simple and focuses on small, manageable steps you can try between meetings. People contact her about stress, worry and low mood, along with trauma and grief. She also helps with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleep difficulties, anger and self-esteem.
Other areas she supports include career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coaching for life transitions. Chrissy uses a blend of client-centred ways of working together with approaches such as dialectical behaviour skills, mindfulness and somatic techniques. Trauma-focused methods are brought in when needed to help process painful events safely.
The result is a practical, adaptable plan shaped by what each person says they want to change. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she has 15 years of experience. Sessions are conducted in English and she is available to work with international clients.
If you want straightforward conversation and tailored tools, she can help you sort out the next steps.

How Christine works online
Dialectical behaviour therapy, often shortened to DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful for intense anxiety, anger or when someone wants clearer coping strategies day to day.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques often help with stress, sleep and habitual worrying by building small daily habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when circumstances change. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, and make it simpler to continue work while away from home. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and body-based tools so they work well in remote sessions.
