About Chris

Chris Sergeant works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, addiction, grief and a wide range of life changes, using an integrative approach that combines different methods to suit each person. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years' experience.

Chris is an integrative counsellor who draws on several approaches to meet practical needs in sessions. He offers client-centred listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic thinking, and he can include hypnotherapy or systemic ideas when these fit the issue. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on patterns that keep problems in place.

He works with people dealing with addiction and substance issues, trauma and abuse, and problems around intimacy and infidelity. He also supports those facing parenting strain, career change, midlife concerns and questions about life purpose. Specific difficulties he addresses include abandonment, codependency, control issues and family of origin problems.

Chris adapts methods to the individual's situation rather than using one fixed model. That might mean practical behavioural steps one week and deeper exploration of past experience the next. He aims to make counselling straightforward and focused on clear goals.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. The service uses a subscription system for bookings and this can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening and understanding to help people find their own solutions. It is useful for emotional concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship strain and grief.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It helps with anxiety, stress, addictive patterns and everyday coping skills through structured exercises and homework.

Psychodynamic ideas explore patterns arising from past experience that affect current relationships and feelings. This can be helpful for issues like family of origin problems, intimacy concerns and persistent relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and may combine methods to suit what works best. This means sessions can focus on immediate practical change or on deeper exploration, depending on the client's needs.

The original biography does not state which remote session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible appointments when required. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises or reflective psychodynamic work to a remote setting.
