Christoper Schippers-Wakeling

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and self-esteem struggles. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, career pressures, addictions and grief. He aims to make it easier for someone to take the first step toward change by offering steady, non-judgemental support.

He has four years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In session he focuses on listening closely to what matters most to the client and on practical steps that can be practised between meetings. That might include simple routines to build confidence or short exercises to manage strong feelings.

Christoper creates a calm space where people can say what they feel and think without fear of being judged. He works collaboratively to set goals and to try methods that fit each person’s needs. He pays attention to how patterns from early attachments and control struggles can affect current relationships and coping strategies.

Sessions often look at coping with life changes, guilt and shame, impulsivity, panic, sleep difficulties and workplace stress. He also supports people exploring sexuality, non-monogamous relationships and issues linked to identity. The work blends careful listening with practical tools to help people regain balance.

People who meet him can expect straightforward conversation, clear aims for therapy and encouragement to practise new ways of coping between appointments.

How evidence-based methods work online

Christoper draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach he uses involves identifying patterns that keep stress and anger high and then practising small behavioural steps to reduce reactivity. This helps people notice triggers and try different responses in everyday situations.

Another strand explores attachment and control issues by looking at how past relationships shape current expectations. Talking through these patterns can help people build clearer boundaries and improve emotional regulation in intimate and work relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each client about goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative planning means the methods can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also mean shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is needed or audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited.
