About Chris Sergeant
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.
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.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Chris uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening so people can explore feelings, build self-understanding and strengthen self-esteem - it is often helpful for relationship difficulties, grief and navigating life changes.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, anger and addictive patterns. CBT helps clients develop new coping skills and rethink unhelpful thinking patterns in everyday situations.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Chris treats selection as a collaborative decision. He will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their preferences and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, combining methods where appropriate to match the client’s needs.
Online therapy with Chris is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules and access support from home or elsewhere, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor interventions to each client’s situation.
