About Christoper

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He draws on four years of professional experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or panic. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, issues around intimacy, shame, and problems with sleep and motivation.

He aims to make sessions feel straightforward and unthreatening. Christoper works to build a space where people can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. He encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversation so people can try things between sessions.

In practice he explores how patterns of thinking and behaviour feed problems such as panic attacks or social anxiety. He helps clients notice triggers and practice small changes that reduce distress. Work can include problem solving for work stress and talking through decisions such as separation or relationship changes.

Christoper explains that reaching out takes courage and that therapy is a collaborative process. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and tailors his approach to each person’s goals. His style is direct but warm, with an emphasis on building confidence and clearer coping skills.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts clients from outside the UK. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which he lists as BACP.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and developing coping skills. One common approach he uses helps people identify triggers for panic and anxiety, supports breathing and grounding practices, and introduces graded exposure to reduce avoidance. Another approach emphasises examining thoughts and beliefs and trying out small behavioural changes between sessions to build confidence and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options with each client and decide collaboratively which techniques match the person's goals, symptoms and preferences. That way the plan is tailored and can be adapted as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study and family life. It can reduce travel time and allows people in different regions to connect with a registered professional in the UK. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats when booking to ensure they suit your routine and access needs.
