About Christoper

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and problems with sleep. He also supports those dealing with anger, career pressures, addiction issues, grief, trauma and life changes. Christoper is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be changed. He aims to make the room calm and non-judgemental so people feel able to talk plainly about difficult feelings.

How Christoper works

Christoper has four years of professional experience working with a wide range of difficulties. His work includes supporting people with intimacy and sexuality questions, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress. He is also experienced in areas such as attachment concerns, dissociation, and mood swings.

His approach prioritises collaboration. He listens to what a person wants to achieve and then helps set small, realistic goals. Sessions might include practical coping strategies, ways to manage panic or strong emotions, and steps to rebuild confidence in day-to-day life.

People can expect clear communication and a steady presence. Christoper encourages honest conversation about guilt, shame and impulsivity without pressure. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

To begin, he asks people to describe what feels most pressing and then agrees a path forward together. That process helps shape the work and keeps it relevant to each person’s life and goals.

Online support options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks, teaching simple breathing, grounding and problem-solving steps to reduce overwhelm. Another approach concentrates on improving relationships and intimacy by helping people understand patterns, communicate needs more clearly and rebuild trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christoper will discuss goals and preferences, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process allows the approach to change as practical needs and priorities shift.

Online therapy is offered by way of video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical tools.
