Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn , BACP

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn came to the profession after personal experience with anxiety and an eating disorder, and she draws on that lived perspective in her therapeutic work. She believes deeply in the value of the therapeutic process and offers an approach shaped by both professional training and personal recovery. With 15 years of experience, she tailors therapy to the individual, creating a space where people can open up about the range of issues affecting them, explore those concerns, and work toward greater clarity and direction.

Her practice is integrative - she combines techniques from different therapeutic models to fit each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. That flexibility supports work across a wide spectrum of difficulties, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also works with addictions, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching needs, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Christine holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her practice emphasizes empathic listening, collaborative goal-setting, and practical strategies to help people move forward in ways that feel right for them.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn draws on several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship in which the person’s own goals and values guide the work - this approach supports people facing uncertainty, low self-esteem, or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anxiety, anger, and patterns of impulsive behaviour. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their hold on daily life and improve coping, addressing symptoms that follow abuse or overwhelming events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can be arranged through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or geographic constraints while maintaining continuity with a therapist who will help guide the process.
