About Christina
Christina Mossaad is an AASW counsellor who focuses on somatic-informed work alongside evidence-based talking therapies. She brings five years of direct therapeutic experience to sessions and helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain and self-esteem concerns. Christina uses practical steps and gentle curiosity to guide change rather than labels or judgement.
Christina believes people already carry strengths that help them move forward. She frames therapy as a partnership where the client's goals lead the way.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and paced to suit each person's needs and readiness. Her approach blends body-aware techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools. That mix aims to reduce unhelpful thoughts and to work with how emotions and bodily sensations show up.
Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns. Christina has supported people through life changes, compassion fatigue, panic attacks and mood challenges. She also helps with body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and finding a clearer sense of purpose.
Her experience covers both short-term coping skills and longer-term personal growth. Sessions are offered in English and are suitable for people in Australia seeking flexible support. Christina invites clients to take a first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits them.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily sensations and how they relate to emotions. In sessions this can mean noticing tension, breath or posture and using simple techniques to help regulate feelings and increase present-moment awareness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small behavioural steps; it helps people make progress even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns influence present-day reactions and aims to build safer ways of relating to oneself and others.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Christina will talk with each client about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide on techniques and the pace of therapy so the approach fits the person's life and needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection from home, while phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, steady check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
