No, it sounds odd. Of a person, "repulsive" means "disgusting", "revolting" (i.e. the sort of person you wouldn't want to be anywhere near).

You probably mean something else, but I'm not certain what. Is it possible that you mean he very much disliked the idea of feeling guilty?

"He doesn't want to admit that he is guilty" is fine. If you want to make it stronger and retain an element of your original, you can say "He is repelled by the idea of admitting that he is guilty". Slightly neater, but carr
