About Christoper
Christoper Schippers-Wakeling works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, anger and motivation. He supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction issues, workplace difficulties and major life changes. He is BACP registered and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Christoper offers straightforward, conversational counselling. Sessions are focused on what the person wants to address. He encourages clear goals and practical steps alongside space to talk through difficult feelings. He does not claim any single method will suit everyone, and he adapts the approach as work progresses.
In practice he helps people understand patterns that keep problems repeating. That may include looking at attachment and control issues, impulsivity, or how dissociation shows up for someone. He also works with topics such as panic attacks, mood difficulties, sexual and relationship questions including non-monogamous arrangements, and concerns linked to intellectual disability.
He brings four years of hands-on experience to each session and keeps the focus on what will make day-to-day life easier. Sessions can cover coping skills for sleep, strategies for managing workplace stress, or ways to rebuild self-esteem after separation or loss.
Before booking, prospective clients should check the current session formats offered and confirm which will work for them.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online counselling
Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and then practising alternative responses; this can help with anxiety, low mood and panic. Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns, helping people understand how past relationships affect current intimacy and relationship struggles.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together, adapting methods as progress is made. The emphasis is on collaboration and on finding what helps in everyday life rather than on sticking to a single method.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If you need different session formats, please confirm which are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find that remote counselling makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and to use short check-ins when life is busy.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
