About Chris

Chris Sergeant is a counsellor with 13 years of practice based in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem and addictions. People also come to him for help with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strains and career or life changes.

He uses a blend of approaches rather than a single fixed method. That means sessions are tailored to what an individual brings, combining techniques that fit the situation and the person.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. Chris is registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. That registration is part of his professional background and practice in the UK.

He has a history of working with issues including family conflict, abandonment and codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, infidelity and family of origin matters. He also supports men’s issues, midlife concerns, multicultural questions, post-traumatic stress and finding life purpose.

In sessions he may draw on systemic ideas to look at relationships and patterns, client-centred ways to prioritise the person’s own goals, and cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking. The room is used to talk through what matters now, try different approaches, and agree practical steps to move forward.

How Chris Uses Different Approaches Online

Chris often combines systemic thinking, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas when working online. Systemic Therapy looks at how relationships and patterns shape problems and can help with family conflict, couple issues or repeated relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s own goals, which helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours, offering clear strategies for anxiety, stress and managing urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and decide with the client which methods to try first. That collaborative process lets the style change over time as goals and needs become clearer.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can help with ongoing reflection between sessions. These choices make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel.
