Chris Sergeant Reg.MBACP (Accred) (CS Counselling)
Counsellor in Plymouth, England
Whether you are facing a particular difficulty or simply have a sense that something in your life or relationships is not quite right, counselling can offer time and space to understand what is happening and explore what you would like to change.
I work with adults and couples, offering face-to-face counselling in Plymouth and online counselling across the UK. I am a BACP-accredited counsellor and integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, in practice since 2010 with more than 6,500 hours of counselling experience.
My approach is integrative rather than based on one fixed model. I draw on person-centred principles to build a strong therapeutic relationship, while also working actively and, where helpful, more challengingly. Counselling may involve exploring present difficulties, past experiences, recurring patterns, relationships, thoughts and feelings, or simply trying to make sense of something that has left you feeling stuck or uncertain.
I work with individuals experiencing difficulties including anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and significant life changes.
I also work with couples experiencing recurring conflict, communication difficulties, infidelity or loss of trust, emotional distance, differences in needs or values, and situations where the relationship has begun to feel stuck. The aim is not to take sides, but to understand what is happening between you, recognise recurring patterns and consider what might need to change.
Face-to-face sessions are held at Peverell Clinic in Plymouth. Online counselling is available across the UK via Zoom or WhatsApp.
I am also developing a collection of reflective PDF resources exploring themes such as communication, relationships, difficult conversations and personal patterns. These can be used independently or alongside counselling, and may also give you a sense of some of the questions and ideas that inform my therapeutic approach.
If you would like to ask a few questions before booking, I am happy to offer a brief introductory conversation without charge.
