About Chris
Chris Sergeant is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family difficulties and anger. He also helps with self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting concerns and career questions. Chris holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP.
Chris has 13 years of experience in counselling. He offers a straightforward, person-centred way of working that aims to make sessions feel calm and practical.
How Chris works
He meets people where they are and uses simple language to help them understand their situation. His approach draws on several methods, including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. He can also use psychodynamic and systemic thinking and, where appropriate, hypnotherapy.
This gives him options to tailor sessions to individual needs. In sessions Chris listens for patterns that link past experiences to present struggles. He helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours.
When appropriate he looks at family interactions and how they affect relationships. Practical steps and goals are part of the process. Chris will help set small, achievable tasks between sessions when that suits a person’s goals.
The emphasis is on steady progress and clearer choices. People who want to start complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is provided online through a mixture of video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

How Chris uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor listens closely and helps the person find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem and life decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxious thinking, manage anger and improve coping skills.
Chris treats finding the right approach as a shared process. He will talk through options and work collaboratively to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travelling and are useful for fuller conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good choice when short check-ins are required. Live chat or text-based messaging works for brief updates, reflective notes or for people who find typing easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
