About Christopher

Christopher Horrex is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to support people through anxiety and related difficulties. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs.

Christopher aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them now and what matters from the past. He blends person-centred ideas with existential and psychodynamic perspectives.

Background and approach

That means he pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns, while also helping people find meaning and purpose in their lives. Sessions focus on noticing repeated life scripts and the habits that keep people stuck, and on building new ways of relating to oneself and others.

Christopher’s path into therapy began after work in advertising and a move towards caring roles. He has worked on youth development projects in India and in a London centre supporting people with learning differences. That work informs his present practice and the way he listens to varied life stories.

He trained for three years in integrative therapy and has two years’ experience counselling people through the NHS. Over three years of practice he has worked with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and use a range of online formats.

Christopher aims to help people grow self-acceptance and clearer choices, so they feel more confident in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without being led by them, and to clarify what matters most so they can take meaningful action. It can help with anxiety, low mood and decisions about life direction.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and responding with empathy. This approach helps people feel heard and move towards greater self-understanding and self-acceptance when facing stress or relationship strain.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will choose methods together. This collaborative process means the focus can shift as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to face-to-face sessions and suit deeper conversations, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break, while live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to match the format to what works best for the individual.
