About Christoper

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and issues around intimacy. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for anyone finding life hard to manage.

He offers a calm and non-judgemental space where a person can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage distress and build small changes that add up over time.

Background and approach

He encourages clients to set clear, realistic goals and to find approaches that fit their everyday life. Christoper has worked with people facing grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and workplace problems. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, mood difficulties and panic attacks.

Other areas he sees include sexuality, LGBT concerns, polyamory and issues around control, guilt and shame. His style is collaborative and down-to-earth. He listens first, then helps clients try methods that suit them.

Progress is reviewed together so the approach can change as needed. Sessions can be arranged online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and books a suitable time.

Christoper aims to make therapy straightforward to start and to stay with for as long as it helps.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing distress and building coping skills. One commonly used approach focuses on recognising and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people break patterns that keep problems stuck and teaches practical tools for day-to-day life.

An additional approach centres on stabilisation and grounding for people affected by trauma or dissociation. It includes simple exercises to manage overwhelming feelings, improve emotional regulation and increase a sense of control between sessions.

Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist and client work together to decide what feels most useful based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Techniques are reviewed and adapted over time so the approach stays relevant.

Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and longer work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in and text-based messaging supports day-to-day reflection. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the practical focus on what the client wants to change.
