Chris Horton
Counsellor & Psychotherapist

Chris Horton, BA (Hons), MA (Sussex), MBA (Open), Dip. TA Practice, MBACP

Over the years I’ve worked in business and education as well as in mental health support. Along the way I’ve learned how very many of us can face difficult life challenges from time to time, which can be hard to resolve by ourselves. At such times for me it was my own experience of therapy that inspired me to train as a therapist myself.

I am trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) as a psychotherapeutic counsellor.

My practice is based upon three fundamental TA beliefs:

• Everyone is OK - however we think, feel or behave, we each have innate value, dignity and worth.

• Everyone has the capacity to think and decide for themselves - we are responsible for how we respond to others and for what we decide and act upon in life.

• Any decision we make can be changed - we are all capable of choosing to change.

I have regular clinical supervision to safeguard my clients and to better inform my practice. I continually reflect upon my work and follow an annual training and development programme to develop my knowledge and skills in my ongoing commitment to professional effectiveness. 

I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and my practice is governed by BACP ethical codes.
