About Chris
Chris Sergeant, Reg.MBACP (Accred), is a BACP-accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor (BACP registration number 30028). He has been in counselling practice since 2010 and has more than 6,500 hours of counselling experience.
He works with adult individuals and couples, face-to-face in Plymouth and online across the UK. His main areas of work include anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and significant life changes.
With couples, Chris works with recurring conflict, communication difficulties, infidelity or loss of trust, emotional distance, differences in needs or values, and relationships that have become stuck. Parenting differences can also be part of this work where they affect the couple or the wider relationship.
Background and approach
His approach is integrative rather than based on one fixed model. He draws on person-centred principles to build a strong therapeutic relationship, while also working actively and, where helpful, more challengingly. Systemic thinking informs his work, particularly with couples and recurring relationship patterns, and he may draw on cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic and hypnotherapeutic ideas where these suit the client and the work.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. It can help with stress, panic, anger and patterns that affect everyday life.
Hypnotherapy is offered as a tool to access focused attention and support change in habits, confidence or unhelpful reactions. It is used alongside talking therapies rather than as a single solution.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means starting with what you want to achieve and adjusting methods as you go.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls are close to a face-to-face meeting and good for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work with lower bandwidth and can feel easier when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who process better in writing. These options help fit counselling around work, family or other commitments without losing the therapeutic focus.
