About Chris
Chris Sergeant is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 13 years of experience to his work. He commonly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction and parenting concerns.
His style is straightforward and practical. He aims to understand each person’s situation and then choose methods that fit. Sessions are centred on what the client wants to change and the obstacles they face.
Background and approach
Chris uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build trust and give space for people to tell their story. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps when patterns of thought and behaviour need shifting.
He also uses psychodynamic and systemic ideas where early relationships or family systems are relevant. People often come for help with anger, low self-esteem, intimacy problems, or the fallout from separation and infidelity. He also supports those struggling with addiction, post-traumatic stress, and career or life-change challenges.
Parenting concerns are part of his practice, and he can help parents manage stress and family tensions. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Prospective clients choose a subscription plan that can be cancelled at any time and start by completing a short questionnaire and booking a session.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. In online sessions this means the counsellor gives space for people to talk and reflects back what he hears to help clients make sense of their feelings. It is useful for building trust and exploring worries about relationships or parenting.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions CBT is often structured and practical, with exercises and strategies to try between meetings. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits, including coping with addiction triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest one method or a mix that fits the issue. Clients and the counsellor review progress and adjust the plan as needed, so the approach can change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation; phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, written reflection or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life.
