Christopher Horrex, BACP

Christopher Horrex is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists. He takes an integrative approach, drawing on person-centred, existential, and psychodynamic ideas to respond to each person’s unique needs and life story.

Christopher offers an open, non-judgemental space where present concerns and significant past experiences can be explored together. Through collaborative exploration he supports clients in identifying life scripts and patterns that may influence how they think, feel, behave and relate to others. His aim is to help people increase self-awareness, move toward self-acceptance, and integrate different parts of themselves so they feel more whole, confident and able to make empowered life choices.

He began his working life in advertising before shifting into relational and caring work, including youth development programs in central India. He later worked in a centre for people with special learning needs and currently continues part-time as a tutor and mentor in a neurodiversity-affirming setting. Christopher completed three years of training in integrative therapy and has experience counselling individuals with the NHS.

He has worked with a wide range of issues, including anxiety disorders, panic attacks, depression, suicidal ideation, prejudice and discrimination, abusive relationships, life changes, low self-esteem, ADHD, sexuality, grief and loss.

Approaches in Online Practice and How They Help

Christopher Horrex commonly draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where individuals are supported to explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, working through relationship difficulties, and processing life changes.

He also works with existential ideas that invite clients to examine meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. Existential work can be useful for people facing questions about life purpose, grief, isolation or major transitions.

Psychodynamic elements are used to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current behaviour and relationships. This perspective can assist clients who want to understand recurring patterns, attachment issues, or long-standing emotional difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher Horrex collaborates with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the work over time as priorities shift.

Online therapy with Christopher is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
