About Chris
Chris Sergeant is an independent counsellor registered and accredited by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). He has 13 years of experience working with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family problems, anger, addictions and grief.
Chris works in a straightforward way. He listens to what has been happening and helps people name the patterns that make life harder. He uses conversational sessions to help people spot triggers, try different responses and practise new ways of coping.
His approach draws on several methods so sessions can shift depending on what someone needs that week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments. Client-Centred Therapy shapes sessions around the person’s own priorities and pace. Hypnotherapy is available when deeper, focused work is appropriate.
Chris also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect current feelings and Systemic Therapy to consider relationships and family influences. He encourages people to explore anger, control issues, codependency and patterns that link to addiction or intimacy problems.
Sessions are aimed at helping people reduce the hold of strong feelings and improve everyday interactions. He suggests small, manageable steps that can be practised between meetings. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire to match needs and schedule a first session.
How Chris uses approaches in online sessions
Chris blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online work practical and person-focused. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's priorities at the heart of sessions and helps them choose which issues to tackle. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and tests small experiments to change unhelpful reactions, which can be useful for anger and anxiety.He treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences, try methods in session, then review what helps most. That conversation guides whether more focused skills work, deeper reflective work or a mix is used going forward.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity between meetings. It can allow shorter check-ins or flexible timings that suit work and family schedules, and it removes the need to travel for each appointment. Registered and accredited professionals like Chris can adapt exercises and short practices so people can try them between sessions.
