Christopher Horrex

Christopher Horrex is a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He is a male therapist with three years' experience, working from an integrative framework that draws on person-centred, existential and psychodynamic approaches to respond to each person’s particular needs.

He works collaboratively with clients to explore present concerns and significant past experiences, using co-exploration to identify life scripts and recurring patterns that can shape the way someone thinks, feels, behaves and relates to others. Christopher aims to offer an open, non-judgemental space where often-diminished feelings and needs can be acknowledged and attended to.

His therapeutic focus is on building awareness, self-acceptance and greater integration of different aspects of the self, helping people move towards feeling more whole, self-confident and empowered in their life choices. He specialises in areas such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, grief, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.

Christopher began his working life in advertising before shifting toward relational and caring work. He spent time on youth development programmes in central India and then returned to London to work in a centre for people with special learning needs. He continues to work part-time in a neurodiversity-affirming setting as a tutor and mentor. Christopher completed three years of training in integrative therapy, which included two years counselling individuals with the NHS, and has worked with a range of concerns including anxiety disorders, panic attacks, depression, suicidal ideation, prejudice and discrimination, abusive relationships, ADHD, sexuality, grief and loss.
