Christoper Schippers-Wakeling

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has four years of professional experience and supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. He aims to create an open space where clients can speak about difficult feelings without judgement.

Christoper focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now and what someone wants to change. He helps people who are struggling with anger, motivation, intimacy-related issues and confidence to identify small, workable steps forward. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma, sleep problems and the strain of workplace pressures.

He has a particular interest in matters such as attachment and control issues, dissociation, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation. He is experienced in supporting people exploring sexuality, non-monogamous relationships, and LGBT concerns. He also works with issues like panic attacks, mood problems and compassion fatigue.

Christoper holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. He describes his approach as collaborative and person-centred, helping people set realistic goals and try practical strategies between sessions. He encourages clients to notice progress in small steps and to build skills they can use day to day.

To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on Christoper's availability. He accepts clients internationally and runs work aimed at helping people cope with life changes and regain a sense of direction.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Christoper describes his work as collaborative and person-centred, so online sessions focus on conversations tailored to what matters most to the client. Person-centred work involves active listening, reflecting what you say and helping you to clarify feelings and goals; it is useful for building self-awareness and improving relationships.

He also uses practical, goal-focused techniques that aim to break problems into small steps and develop coping strategies. These techniques help with issues like anxiety, panic, low mood, and managing anger by teaching clear tools to try between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and will be agreed together. The counsellor will work with clients to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so check the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue therapy when life changes make in-person appointments difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including those with BACP standing, often adapt their methods so the work remains practical and useful across different setups.
