About Christoper

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, motivation, and related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Christoper focuses on helping people talk through the feelings that hold them back. He invites straightforward conversation about guilt and shame, grief, trauma, workplace pressure, and changes like separation or career shifts. He aims to create a clear, non-judgemental setting where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined.

His approach is practical and down-to-earth. He listens for patterns such as control issues, attachment worries or dissociation and then helps people try small experiments in thinking and acting differently. This can include talking through difficult memories, noticing how habits keep problems going, and testing new ways of relating to others.

Christoper also works with concerns around sexuality, non-monogamous relationships, addictions, and men’s issues. He supports people facing panic, mood changes, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. Work may include looking at interpersonal habits, coping strategies, and ways to increase self-acceptance.

People who choose him can expect clear explanations of options and practical steps between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Christoper works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present patterns and practical change. One common approach he uses helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour cycles so anxiety, guilt or shame feel less overwhelming; this approach suits worries, panic and mood problems. Another approach looks at attachment patterns and relational habits, helping people see how early relationship styles affect current intimacy and workplace interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences, and he will explain options and try things out together rather than prescribing a single method from the start.

If you want to use online therapy, please confirm which session formats are available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow therapy across different locations, which supports international clients who wish to work with UK-based registered professionals.
