About Christina
Christina Mossaad is an AASW counsellor who focuses on narrative ways of working alongside people. She helps with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Christina frames clients as experts of their own story and supports small steps toward clearer choices and greater wellbeing.
Christina brings five years of direct therapeutic experience. She uses conversational, person-centred sessions that feel practical and straightforward. Conversations often look at how personal stories shape feelings and actions, and then test kinder, more useful ways of thinking and behaving.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas to help with anxiety, panic and mood challenges. Attachment-based perspectives also inform how she thinks about relationships and caregiver stress. Sessions mix short exercises, reflective questions and goal-focused planning to build skills that are easy to try between meetings.
Christina commonly supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, isolation, body image and guilt or shame. She also helps with communication problems, control issues, and finding life purpose. The emphasis is on practical coping tools and clearer self-understanding rather than labels or tests.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in a range of formats. Christina aims to create a calm, down-to-earth space where clients can tell their story, notice patterns, and make manageable changes at their own pace.

How her approaches work online
Christina uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell themselves and notice patterns that keep problems going. This approach helps when old habits of thought make day-to-day life harder and someone wants clearer choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take values-driven action. It is useful for anxiety, panic and living through change. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how past relationship patterns shape current responses, which can help with caregiver stress and communication problems.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Christina will listen to your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. Together you will choose techniques and session styles that match your preferences and what you want to change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for a full conversation and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging lets you send notes or reflections over time. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments while still working with an appropriately qualified therapist.
