About Chris

Chris Sergeant is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). He has 13 years of experience working with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief and relationship problems. He also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

Chris uses a straightforward, adaptable style in sessions. He listens first and helps clients decide what matters to them. Then he draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Background and approach

In practice he may use client-centred ways of working to build trust and to help people feel heard. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes that can make a difference. Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas are available where accessing deeper memories or patterns seems helpful.

Sessions are intended to be practical and down to earth. Conversations look at current problems and past influences, and aim to give steps to manage feelings and behaviour. Chris pays attention to family of origin issues, cultural identity and control or codependency concerns when these are part of the picture.

He works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People in the United Kingdom can use a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How his approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person space to talk and be heard. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people identify what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship worries and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments or small changes that reduce distress, often useful for stress, panic and anger.

Hypnotherapy can be used to access different levels of attention and to rehearse calmer responses to difficult memories or triggers. It may be offered when someone wants a different way of working with trauma symptoms or strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress or needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter environment is available. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible timing around work or family life. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to continue work when travelling or relocating.
