About Christoper
Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety and sleep difficulties. He also supports clients facing grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, anger, addictions and workplace strain. Christoper uses a calm, non-judgemental style to make it easier to talk about hard things and to try small changes that feel doable.
He brings four years of professional practice to sessions and holds BACP registration. Christoper aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. He encourages practical steps alongside talking, so people notice small shifts in mood and routine.
Typical sessions focus on what matters day to day. Conversations might include routines that affect rest, ways to manage worry, and habits that get in the way of relationships or work. He listens for patterns such as control issues, attachment concerns, dissociation, or shame, and helps clients spot alternatives they can try between sessions.
Christoper also works with topics such as parenting pressures, career decisions, and experiences of trauma or loss. He supports those exploring sexuality, non-monogamous relationships, or LGBT-related issues. The work aims to increase self-understanding, reduce overwhelm, and support clearer choices.
People interested in starting therapy are invited to reflect on what they want to change. Christoper will help set realistic goals and review progress together over time.
Approaches that support better rest and daily coping
Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine talking with practical changes. One common approach focuses on identifying routine habits and thinking patterns that keep anxiety and poor sleep going, then testing small behaviour changes to improve rest and mood. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment - understanding these patterns helps reduce conflict and improve intimacy over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christoper treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss different ways of working in early sessions. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences, and they review what is or isn’t helping as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping continuity when schedules change.
