About Christoper
Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with young adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, motivation problems and issues around anger. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and life changes.
He aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment. Sessions focus on practical conversation and clearer next steps rather than abstract theory. Conversation may include looking at patterns, coping strategies and ways to manage intense feelings in daily life.
Christoper’s work often centres on early adulthood pressures such as starting a career, leaving home, relationship changes and the strain of new responsibilities. He also addresses sexuality, non-monogamous relationships, workplace stress and social anxiety. These topics come up frequently with people adjusting to new roles and expectations.
When needed, he looks at attachment and control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. He can also support men’s issues and people with intellectual disability who want to work on practical coping skills. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Christoper uses recognised evidence-based techniques in conversation to help people explore patterns and try small changes. He asks about goals early on and works collaboratively to find approaches that fit day-to-day life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Christoper uses evidence-based approaches that aim to help people understand patterns and change unhelpful behaviours. One common approach focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that feed anxiety and low mood, and then testing small changes in everyday life to reduce their impact. This can help with panic, workplace stress and social anxiety.Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to improve intimacy and reduce repeated conflict. It involves noticing typical reactions in close relationships and practising different ways of connecting or setting boundaries so relationships feel less reactive.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christoper discusses goals and preferences early on and collaborates with each person to decide which techniques to try. He will review progress and adapt methods based on how practical strategies fit the person’s life.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around study, work and caring commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people join from a place that works for them, which can help maintain consistency with therapy over time.
