About Chris
Chris Sergeant is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, grief and self-esteem. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP, and has 13 years of experience in the field.
Chris takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. He listens and helps people find practical ways to manage difficult emotions and repeated patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often combine talking therapies with hypnotherapy when that suits the person's goals. Many people come to him for help with family problems, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, anger, or struggles after separation. He also supports people dealing with trauma, post-traumatic stress, substance issues, codependency and questions about life purpose and identity.
He keeps language simple and aims to make things feel manageable step by step. Chris draws on a mix of psychodynamic ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and systemic thinking alongside client-centred ways of working. This means he pays attention to past patterns, current thinking and relationships while keeping the work focused on what the person wants to change now.
Sessions can be a space to practise different ways of responding, learn tools for stress and anxiety, and try short hypnotherapy exercises where helpful. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

Online support
How online approaches and hypnotherapy can help
Chris uses hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy alongside client-centred work. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people address habits, anxiety or unhelpful responses. Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and change behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chris will discuss goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to try. Some people prefer talking-led sessions first, while others mix in short hypnotherapy exercises to reinforce change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people use visual cues and interact much like a face-to-face meeting. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer not to be on camera and want more flexible, written exchanges. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, parenting and everyday life.
