About Christopher
Christopher Horrex is a counsellor who blends several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. He is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. Christopher aims to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make change.
He draws particularly from person-centred, existential, and psychodynamic approaches. That means sessions focus on understanding present concerns and the past experiences that shape them.
How Christopher works
Conversations can uncover patterns and life scripts that influence how someone thinks, feels and relates to others. Christopher has experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. He also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and major life changes.
Additional areas he pays attention to include attachment concerns, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, self-love and social anxiety. Before training as a therapist he worked in advertising and on youth development programmes in India.
He currently works part-time as a tutor and mentor in a neurodiversity-affirming setting and completed three years of integrative therapy training, including two years counselling with the NHS. Those roles shape his practical, relational style. In sessions he works collaboratively to build awareness and self-acceptance.
The aim is to support people to make choices that feel more authentic and to develop greater confidence in everyday life.

How Christopher's approaches work online
Christopher often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on building self-acceptance through a supportive, empathetic relationship.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to a person's goals and preferences. He treats this as a collaborative process where the person and counsellor decide together which tools to try and how to pace progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls suit deeper conversations and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and family life.
