Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor after personal experience of anxiety and an eating disorder. She holds BACP accreditation and has worked in the field for 15 years. Chrissy writes plainly and keeps sessions practical, focusing on what a person needs right now rather than on jargon.

Chrissy aims to make a calm space where people can say what they need to say. She invites honest conversation about stress, anxiety, grief and depression.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, anger, low self-esteem and bipolar challenges. Her method is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She blends client-centred listening with mindfulness, somatic techniques and trauma-focused tools.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used when people need clearer emotion regulation and boundaries. Sessions look at the immediate problems and the patterns behind them. Chrissy helps people work through relationship or family tensions and the intimacy issues that often follow.

She also offers practical coaching for career and life changes. People who choose Chrissy often want straightforward guidance with kindness. She works with each person at their own pace and adjusts her tools to fit their aims.

Her focus is helping people find clearer direction and manageable steps forward. Chrissy offers sessions in English and will see international clients by online formats. Costs vary by location and are paid through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, users complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions via the platform.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and discover their own solutions rather than being told what to do.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce anxiety and manage strong emotions. It is useful for stress, insomnia and everyday overwhelm.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving emotional balance. It can help with mood swings, anger and relationship tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online sessions come in several practical formats - video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or use written reflection when speaking feels difficult. These options make therapy more flexible for different routines and life demands.
