About Christoper
Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Christoper helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction-related difficulties, grief, sleeping problems and parenting stresses.
He aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Sessions are introduced in a calm, non-judgemental way so people can talk about what matters to them.
Background and approach
Christoper focuses on practical strategies alongside honest conversation to build confidence and reduce unhelpful patterns. In sessions he listens for patterns that affect mood and behaviour, such as attachment or control issues, dissociation, impulsivity and shame. He also supports people dealing with workplace pressures, career questions, sexual identity, and relationship or separation challenges.
The work can include short-term coping tools and longer conversations about values and goals. Christoper adopts evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. He encourages collaborative goal-setting and checks progress as therapy continues.
His approach suits people who want clear, down-to-earth support and someone who will be direct but empathetic. People may start therapy to manage panic attacks, improve social confidence, cope with life change, or recover from trauma and abuse. He welcomes conversations in English and will help clients identify practical next steps to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

How evidence-based approaches translate online
Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change patterns of thinking and behaviour. Cognitive-style approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new evidence, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Behavioural strategies add small, structured steps such as sleep routines or graded exposure to social situations to rebuild confidence and daily rhythm.He also draws on attachment-informed work that pays attention to how past relationships shape current responses and intimacy. That approach helps with relationship worries, self-worth and coping during transitions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; Christoper will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, and adapt techniques as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility: video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits a quick check-in, and text messaging allows ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or irregular schedules and let people try different formats to see what suits them best.
