About Chris

Chris Sergeant is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of practice. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). He supports adults facing worries such as anxiety, stress, relationship strain, addiction, grief and problems with self-esteem.

He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. That means listening carefully, helping you name what is hard, and trying methods that fit your situation. He uses clear tools when they help, and talks things through more openly when understanding past patterns feels more useful.

Background and approach

Chris combines several approaches rather than relying on one fixed model. He draws on client-centred work to focus on what matters to you. He may use cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes.

He can also work with psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings. Many people come with complex, overlapping issues. Chris is used to helping with problems such as family conflict, intimacy and infidelity worries, codependency, control issues, addiction, trauma and feelings of emptiness.

He aims to make the steps forward clear and manageable. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. If you want to begin, the site offers a short matching questionnaire to connect you and arrange sessions according to availability.

How Chris adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Chris commonly uses client-centred methods to focus on what matters to each person, offering a calm, listening presence and responding to the client's priorities. This approach helps when people need someone to reflect their experience and support their own decision making.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tries practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, stress and unhelpful habits by breaking problems into manageable tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chris will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. He can blend approaches so the plan matches your needs rather than forcing a single style.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video lets you keep face-to-face contact, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
