About Christoper

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem and confidence concerns. He also works with a broad set of personal and relationship challenges, including grief, trauma, workplace difficulties and social anxiety and phobia.

Christoper prefers straightforward, conversational sessions. He helps people talk through what is happening and spot patterns that make life harder. Conversations focus on practical steps as well as understanding feelings, not on labels or quick fixes. Sessions aim to help people try things differently and notice what changes.

In practice he offers focused work on areas such as managing panic or intense anxiety, improving communication around intimacy, and addressing shame or guilt that blocks progress. He also supports those facing life changes like separation, career shifts or parental stress. Where relevant, he looks at attachment and control issues to show how past patterns affect present choices.

Christoper draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions. He works collaboratively to set goals, review progress and adjust approaches so the work stays relevant. He speaks English and accepts international clients, and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site. This initial step helps match practical needs with how he works in session.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach helps people identify triggers and responses to anxiety, teaching ways to manage panic and reduce avoidance. Another approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns, helping people spot repeated interactions and try new ways of communicating to improve intimacy and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions start with clear aims, review progress regularly, and change direction when something is not helpful so the work stays relevant to what the client needs.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into busy days, for shorter check-ins during a break at work, or for meeting without travel time. Others prefer longer meetings to work through deeper issues; the therapist will discuss what length and rhythm of sessions best suit practical life demands.
