Chris Sergeant
Calm, practical counselling for life changes
About Chris
Chris Sergeant is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems and family concerns. He also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma, grief and intimacy-related issues. He works with career pressures, parenting strain and life changes too.
Chris trained and holds BACP registration, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He brings 13 years of experience to sessions and uses a range of approaches to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
He aims for practical, straightforward sessions where people can talk and be heard without jargon. In sessions Chris tailors the work to the individual. He draws on client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns.
He may also use hypnotherapy or systemic ideas when those approaches fit a concern. People can expect an open conversation about goals and what feels useful. Chris prioritises collaboration and helps people try different ways of coping, thinking and relating.
He pays attention to cultural background and issues such as abandonment, codependency, control, infidelity and family of origin problems. For practical matters he offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions operate on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Those interested follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Chris' approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a calm space where the person leads the conversation, which helps when sorting out stress, relationships or self-worth. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at current thoughts and behaviours and teaches simple tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and try different methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and goals become clearer.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
