About Chris
Chris Sergeant helps people deal with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and addictive behaviours. He is also experienced with issues around self-esteem, anger, intimacy, parenting and life changes. Chris is named up front so you know who you are reading about.
Chris has 13 years of professional experience and holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He trained at LIFE-FORCE in Colchester and gained a Diploma in Integrative Counselling.
Background and approach
Those credentials are recorded as BACP in his profile. He works in an integrative way, combining different methods to suit each person. That means sessions may include listening in a client-centred way, looking at thought patterns, examining past relationships, or using hypnotherapy tools when helpful.
In practice he helps people talk through family problems, feelings of abandonment or emptiness, codependency and control issues. He also supports people facing divorce and separation, dealing with infidelity, or coping with drug and alcohol addiction. Chris aims to tailor the approach to each person's needs.
He will discuss options and agree what to try first. The focus is on practical steps, clearer thinking and rebuilding a sense of direction. People often seek him out for help with career crossroads, midlife concerns, cultural belonging and post-traumatic stress.
He brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and keeps the work grounded in real-life goals.

How Chris works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about goals and preferences and agree what to try. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed, so you help shape the plan.
Please confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend regular appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can work well when quieter surroundings or less screen time are preferable.
