About Christopher

Christopher Horrex uses an integrative approach that blends several therapies to match each person's needs. He is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings three years of professional experience to his work. Christopher aims to create a calm, open space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make small, practical changes.

He draws especially on person-centred ideas to listen without judgement and on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding patterns - the repeated ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that can get in the way of daily life. Christopher helps people notice those patterns and experiment with alternatives. Common concerns he supports include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and coping with life changes.

He also works with compassion fatigue, attachment issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, self-love and social anxiety. Conversations may touch on difficult memories and current struggles in equal measure. His background includes three years of training in integrative therapy and two years counselling within the NHS.

He has also worked in youth development in India and currently tutors and mentors in a neurodiversity-affirming setting in London. That varied experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions aim to build awareness and self-acceptance so people feel more confident making choices.

Christopher uses listening, reflective feedback and collaborative planning to help people move towards clearer goals and more satisfying daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christopher combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work to support practical change and compassionate listening. ACT focuses on values and small actions that matter to you, helping with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and reflective feedback to help people feel understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods to each person's goals, circumstances and preferences. That collaboration means approaches can shift as needs evolve, from exploring past patterns to building new daily habits.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video suits longer, face-to-face style conversations while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family and work life and support consistent contact over time.
