About Chris

Chris Sergeant is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction and grief. He also helps with parenting pressures, career changes and feelings of emptiness or low self-worth.

Chris offers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. He listens and follows the client’s lead to understand what matters most. Sessions aim to make sense of patterns, find practical steps and build emotional resilience. Conversation is used alongside therapeutic methods to address immediate worries and longer standing issues.

His background includes a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from LIFE-FORCE, Colchester, and registration with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP. This experience underpins a flexible approach that draws on several methods rather than a single fixed model.

In practice he blends client-centred work with cognitive and psychodynamic ideas when useful. Hypnotherapy and systemic thinking are also part of his toolbox for specific issues. The mix is chosen to fit the person and the problem rather than to follow a set formula.

People come to Chris for a range of difficulties, from trauma and abuse to midlife questions and cultural identity concerns. He supports exploration of family of origin issues, codependency and intimacy problems with calm and practical guidance. If you want clear conversation and tailored methods, he aims to help you find clearer direction.

How a few approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own answers. This approach is useful for building self-worth, dealing with grief and sorting through relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It provides practical tools to manage anxiety, stress and unhelpful behaviours, and can be used alongside conversational work.

Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. Chris will talk with you about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods might help most. Together you can try one way of working or combine approaches as needs change over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. They can reduce travel time, allow quieter scheduling around work or childcare, and support continuity when circumstances shift. The specific session formats offered should be confirmed before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited counsellors and therapists often adapt their methods for remote work to keep sessions focused and practical.
