Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn , BACP

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn became a therapist after experiencing firsthand how therapy supported her through anxiety and an eating disorder, and she brings that lived understanding into her work. She approaches each person with empathy and a belief that recovery and meaningful change are possible, offering a steady, encouraging presence throughout the therapeutic process.

Her practice centers on creating a welcoming space where people can explore the issues that affect them, talk through difficult emotions, and seek clarity about how to move forward. She adapts her style to suit each individual, listening closely and tailoring interventions so they fit the person rather than forcing a single method on everyone.

With 15 years of experience, Christine practises an integrative model that draws on a range of therapeutic tools to meet different needs. She holds the BACP credential - a professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and uses evidence-informed approaches to address problems effectively. Her work covers stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Based in the United Kingdom, Christine delivers therapy in English and is also available to work with international clients. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical support, and compassionate guidance to help people find direction and build more manageable, meaningful lives.

Integrative approaches adapted for online therapy

Christine uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship that places the person's experience and goals at the centre of the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and helping people find their own direction, which is especially helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when appropriate, teaching practical techniques for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviours - DBT can be useful for emotional regulation, anger, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Christine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide regular, consistent care while accommodating different communication styles and practical constraints.
