Christoper Schippers-Wakeling
Supportive counsellor for stress and relationships
About Christoper
Christoper Schippers-Wakeling helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He works with issues such as anger, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, addictions and workplace difficulties. He also supports people with questions about sexuality, LGBT matters and non-monogamous relationships.
Christoper holds BACP registration and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Christoper aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long explanations. He listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. He works with common life stresses and bigger upheavals such as separation, bereavement, trauma and major career changes.
He also addresses attachment concerns, dissociation, impulse control and compassion fatigue. For people with intellectual disability or mood and panic disorders, he adapts his way of working to meet the person where they are. Christoper combines plain language with structured conversation.
He encourages people to set small, achievable goals between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so the approach can change if needed. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged from the United Kingdom for international clients.
Appointments use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and meetings are available in several online formats.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Christoper draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviours that fuel anxiety or low mood, teaching practical tools to manage panic, worry and reactivity. Another strand concentrates on attachment and relational patterns, helping people understand how past relationships affect current intimacy and connection.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options with each person and adapt methods to suit their goals, needs and preferences. Sessions start by identifying what the person hopes to change, then trying approaches that feel doable and relevant, with regular review and adjustment.
Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange helps, phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels better than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
