About Chris
Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), 13 years' experience. Chris Sergeant works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships and family concerns using a blend of approaches he tailors to each person.
Chris explains that some people come to therapy for the first time while others have tried different approaches before. He uses integrative methods, which means he draws on several therapeutic styles and adapts them to the issue at hand. Sessions are focused on practical ways to manage feelings and improve personal relationships.
People have come to him for worries such as generalised anxiety, alcohol problems, low self-esteem and anger. He also supports those facing trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strains and career or life changes. Additional areas include abandonment, codependency, control issues and family of origin problems.
His work can include exploring patterns from the past that affect current relationships and looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. He may use talking therapies alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural work and hypnotherapy when appropriate. The aim is to help people develop clearer coping strategies and make changes that fit their life.
Chris sees adult individuals and couples. Sessions are in English and he is based in the United Kingdom. International clients are not accepted. To begin, follow the online booking steps and complete the short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.

How his approaches work for remote sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and helps them talk through feelings and choices without judgement. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, anger and coping with change.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access different ways of thinking about a problem; it can be used alongside talk work for addictions, stress or habit change.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked before, then agree on a combination of methods to try. Sessions can be reviewed and adjusted as needs change.
Confirm current session formats before booking. If you prefer remote work, check the available session types and pick what fits your routine and technology. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
