Christopher Horrex is a counsellor who blends person-centred, existential and psychodynamic ideas to help people deal with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works in straightforward, conversational sessions that aim to make sense of what matters to each person.

Christopher draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. He listens for patterns and life scripts that affect how someone thinks and acts.

Background and approach

That helps people see where old ways of coping may be holding them back and what might change. He has three years of clinical experience and has worked in a range of settings. Early in his career he moved from advertising into care and youth development, including time in central India.

He has also provided counselling within the NHS during his training. Christopher currently works part-time tutoring and mentoring in a neurodiversity-affirming centre for people with special learning needs. That role has informed his approach to difference, inclusion and how life circumstances shape wellbeing.

Areas he commonly helps people with include relationship strain, grief, depression, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. He also offers support for attachment issues, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and social anxiety. Sessions focus on making small, practical shifts that fit into everyday life.

How Christopher’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes where taking small, values-led steps can make a difference. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. This approach aims to build self-acceptance and a stronger sense of self through a warm, non-judgemental relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christopher will discuss options and adapt the mix of ACT, client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat allows a real-time written conversation and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access therapy with greater flexibility and continuity.
