About Chris

Chris Sergeant, Reg.MBACP (Accred), is a BACP-accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor (BACP registration number 30028). He has been in counselling practice since 2010 and has more than 6,500 hours of counselling experience.

He works with adult individuals and couples, face-to-face in Plymouth and online across the UK. His main areas of work include anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and significant life changes.

With couples, Chris works with recurring conflict, communication difficulties, infidelity or loss of trust, emotional distance, differences in needs or values, and relationships that have become stuck. Parenting differences can also be part of this work where they affect the couple or the wider relationship.

Background and approach

His approach is integrative rather than based on one fixed model. He draws on person-centred principles to build a strong therapeutic relationship, while also working actively and, where helpful, more challengingly. Systemic thinking informs his work, particularly with couples and recurring relationship patterns, and he may draw on cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic and hypnotherapeutic ideas where these suit the client and the work.

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.
