About Christine
Christine 'Chrissy' Mostyn trained as a counsellor after her own experience with anxiety and an eating disorder. She holds BACP registration and has practised for 15 years across many issues. Chrissy writes plainly and aims to make therapy understandable and manageable for people under strain.
She works at each person's pace and adapts her approach to the problem in front of her. Sessions focus on talking through what matters, noticing how the body responds, and finding small steps that feel possible to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Chrissy blends several approaches rather than using one fixed method. She draws on somatic work to bring attention to bodily signals, client-centred ways to follow each person's priorities, and skills from DBT and mindfulness to help manage difficult feelings. Common reasons people come include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions.
She also supports people dealing with relationship and family tensions, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career pressures, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sessions are practical and rooted in day-to-day life. Expect straightforward conversation, gentle experiments with new ways of coping, and planning small, achievable changes.
The aim is clearer thinking and steadier responses to whatever is causing difficulty.
How somatic and skills-based approaches work online
Somatic therapy helps people notice physical sensations linked to stress and trauma and learn ways to calm or shift those responses. Online sessions can guide gentle body awareness and breathing exercises that reduce tension and make emotions easier to manage.Client-centred therapy focuses on what the person brings to the room and follows their priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions and direction.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, provides practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and tolerating distress. Online formats are well suited to teaching and practising these skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the mix of somatic, client-centred and skills work together in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone conversations, live chat and text messaging. This range makes it easier to fit sessions around daily life, to check in when needed, and to continue therapy when travel or location would otherwise make face-to-face meetings difficult.
