Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn , BACP

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn became a therapist after experiencing first hand how counseling supported her recovery from anxiety and an eating disorder. That lived experience underpins a deep commitment to the therapeutic process and a conviction that meaningful change is possible. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental environment where people can explore the full range of issues affecting their lives, work through painful material, and develop clarity and direction to move forward.

With 15 years of professional experience, Chrissy uses an integrative approach that draws on different methods to suit each person she works with. She adapts interventions to the individual rather than applying a single template, believing that tailored care produces the best outcomes. Chrissy holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her training and professional standards.

Her areas of specialisation include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and addictions. She also works with relationship and family difficulties, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem issues, career challenges, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching needs, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Chrissy aims to support people in finding practical strategies and emotional resilience that fit their lives and goals.

Approaches and Online Options for Care

Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn works from an integrative stance and commonly draws on client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches to meet individual needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist supports the client's own pace and priorities, helping with issues like low self-esteem, relationship problems, and life transitions. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, and can be helpful for anxiety, anger, and patterns that lead to self-destructive behaviors. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing and resolving traumatic experiences, using structured techniques to reduce the ongoing impact of past harm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Chrissy works with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current situation, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so it remains useful and relevant.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or geographical constraints. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support and practical tools without requiring travel, making ongoing therapy more accessible for many people.
