About Chris
Chris Sergeant is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). He has worked in counselling for over a decade and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties and issues around parenting. He also supports those dealing with anger, grief, addiction and problems with self-esteem.
He uses a flexible, integrative style that mixes different approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and practical. He aims to help people understand patterns, make changes and try new ways of coping.
Chris trained with LIFE-FORCE in Colchester and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. He draws on methods such as Client-Centred work to build trust, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that come from family of origin and past experiences.
Many people come to him for relationship difficulties including infidelity and separation, for addiction concerns including alcohol and drugs, or for trauma and post-traumatic stress. He also helps with life transitions such as midlife questions, career changes and finding a stronger sense of life purpose.
His manner is straightforward and calm. He will listen, reflect what he hears and offer practical steps you can try between sessions. To begin, users follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule according to availability.
How Chris blends talking therapies for online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to you. It helps build trust and lets you lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what emerges.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by trying small changes and practical exercises between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will talk with you about your needs and goals and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. They can reduce time spent commuting, allow quicker check-ins when life is busy and make it simpler to access a therapist from different locations. Registered and accredited professionals can tailor session length and focus to fit everyday schedules rather than promising a specific format.
