About Christopher

Christopher Horrex works from an integrative approach that draws on Existential, Client-Centred and Psychodynamic ideas to meet each person’s needs. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and practices from the United Kingdom. Christopher writes plainly and aims to make therapy steady and understandable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

He offers a calm space to talk about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

Sessions also cover compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, and issues such as guilt, shame, isolation and social anxiety. Christopher focuses on what matters to the person in front of him and helps them notice patterns that keep causing pain. Christopher draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based actions.

He uses Client-Centred ways of listening that place the person’s experience at the heart of the work. Psychodynamic ideas help him look at past experiences and how they shape current relationships and choices. He began his professional life in advertising before shifting into relational and caring work.

His experience includes youth development projects in India and part-time work supporting people with special learning needs in London. During his training he spent two years counselling with the NHS. Christopher has three years of professional experience and brings that background to gentle, practical sessions.

He supports people who want clearer direction, kinder self-regard and better ways to manage life’s pressures.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Christopher blends Existential Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred practice. Existential Therapy helps people look at life meanings, choices and responsibility, which can be useful for those questioning purpose or feeling stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice painful thoughts and feelings while still choosing actions that reflect personal values. Client-Centred work prioritises the person’s experience through warm, attentive listening and a non-judgemental attitude.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will discuss what feels most helpful and tailor sessions to goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the person’s needs guide which methods are used and how they are combined.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when writing helps. These options give flexibility for daytime, evening or short sessions and make it easier to keep therapy steady alongside other commitments.
