Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn, BACP

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn is a United Kingdom based therapist whose own experience of anxiety and an eating disorder inspired her to enter the profession. She draws on that personal understanding to offer compassionate, evidence-informed support and to encourage clients that recovery and change are possible.

With 15 years of practice, she creates a space where people can explore the issues that are affecting them, work through difficult emotions, and gain clarity and direction. Her style is collaborative and tailored to each person - she adapts methods to fit individual needs rather than applying a single rigid model. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards in the UK.

Christine specialises in stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and she also works with addictions, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She uses an integrative approach that combines elements from different therapies to help clients find practical tools and greater emotional balance as they move forward.

Approaches that guide online care

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn works in ways that make therapy understandable and practical. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental, empathetic environment where the client leads the conversation and builds self-awareness - this approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing overwhelming emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviours - it is often helpful for anxiety, anger, and mood instability. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past traumatic experiences at a pace that suits the individual, helping to reduce the impact of trauma-related symptoms and support recovery.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Christine collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan over time as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure the chosen strategies fit the client’s life and challenges.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from in-person services. Sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between appointments, and fit therapy around work and family commitments.
