About Christine

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related difficulties using an integrative counselling approach. She is a BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She draws on several therapeutic methods to help people talk through the problems that are getting in the way of day-to-day life.

Chrissy came to counselling after her own experience of anxiety and an eating disorder, so she understands what it is like to be a service user. That personal perspective informs how she works with people who find it hard to trust the process at the start. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than academic or distant.

Her practice blends client-centred ways of working with techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness. She also uses somatic and trauma-focused approaches when bodily responses or past trauma are central to the issue. The aim is to use the right mix of methods for each person rather than apply a single model to everyone.

Chrissy helps with a wide range of concerns including addictions, relationship and family tensions, intimacy-related worries, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem and career problems. She also has experience supporting people with bipolar, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Work may include skills training, paced processing of difficult memories, or practical coping strategies.

Sessions focus on clarity and direction. Counselling may involve exploring current patterns, developing emotional regulation skills, and planning small, achievable steps forward. People are supported to find what helps them manage day-to-day life and move toward clearer goals.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and helping people to find their own solutions through open conversation and reflection. Online sessions can support this by keeping the focus on what the client wants to talk about and the goals they set.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, provides practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Delivered remotely, it can include skills coaching and step-by-step practice to manage overwhelming feelings or impulsive behaviour.

Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce rumination and increase moment-to-moment awareness. These techniques are easy to practise during a live online session and then repeat between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will review the client's needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. This collaborative process may change over time as progress and priorities shift.

The biography does not state which specific session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family time, allow shorter check-ins on a busy day, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain regular contact and continuity of care.
