About Christoper
Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, stress and anxiety. He explains things plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable. He creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment.
With four years of professional experience and a BACP registration, he draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support change. Sessions are conversational and practical. He listens for patterns that keep problems going and works with clients to try small, realistic steps between meetings.
Background and approach
People often come for help with low mood, sleep difficulties, grief and relationship worries. He also supports concerns such as anger, self-esteem, workplace stress and challenges around sexuality or intimacy. He speaks openly about impulses, control issues and attachment patterns when these show up in sessions.
Christoper uses a collaborative style. He invites clients to set the pace and to test out different ways of coping. Work might include learning new ways to manage panic or trying simple behavioural experiments to improve motivation and mood.
Sessions can be done remotely in a way that suits each person. He accepts international clients and offers straightforward guidance on getting started. Many clients find practical, steady progress when they attend regularly and try the steps agreed during sessions.

Online support
Another common thread is working with thoughts and patterns. This involves noticing unhelpful thinking and testing alternative ways of interpreting situations, which can reduce worry and improve self-esteem. These methods are useful for social anxiety, rumination and relationship concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose which techniques to try. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses so it remains practical and relevant.
Online formats offer flexible ways to access therapy. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets clients reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments while keeping consistent progress.
