About Christoper

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. He also supports those facing intimacy concerns, anger, addictions and workplace difficulties. He aims to create an open space where people can speak without judgment as they consider change.

Christoper has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works in a straightforward, conversational way and focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions. He encourages small experiments and honest reflection rather than quick fixes.

Sessions typically begin with a clear sense of the issues that matter most to the person seeking help. Conversations cover patterns of thinking, feelings and behaviour, and look at how past experiences may affect present choices. He pays attention to how relationships and attachments shape reactions and sense of self.

Christoper supports people exploring sexuality, LGBT concerns, non-monogamous relationship dynamics and men's issues. He also works with grief, trauma and compassion fatigue using commonly used evidence-based techniques. His style is collaborative: he helps people set goals and tests approaches that fit each person’s life.

People who choose Christoper can expect help to build confidence, manage panic or anger, and make practical changes at work or home. He invites prospective clients to reflect on what they want to change and to take one step at a time.

How evidence-based approaches fit with online therapy

Christoper describes his work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is working on patterns of thought and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood, which involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new responses in everyday life. Another useful strand is working on attachment and relationship patterns to improve intimacy and manage anger, looking at how past relationships shape current reactions.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client do together. Christoper aims to understand each person’s goals, preferences and circumstances, and then suggests methods that feel manageable. He treats the process as collaborative, checking in and adjusting as needed rather than imposing a single method.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed and offer options for people who live far from services. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking to ensure they match your needs.
