Christoper Schippers-Wakeling, BACP

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a United Kingdom based therapist with four years of professional experience and BACP accreditation (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). He supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. His practice also addresses career and workplace difficulties, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, sleeping problems, and the transitions that come with life changes.

He offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. He works collaboratively with clients to identify practical strategies for managing symptoms and to build greater self-understanding, resilience, and agency. Recognising that seeking help takes courage, he aims to empower people to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Christoper is experienced supporting a diverse range of needs, including attachment and control issues, dissociation, mood and panic disorders, polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships, and concerns related to sexuality and men’s issues. He accepts international clients and provides flexible remote options to suit varying schedules and circumstances.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and on understanding patterns in relationships. One approach emphasises skills-based work to help people manage symptoms like anxiety, panic, anger, and low mood through concrete strategies and step-by-step practice. This kind of work is useful for coping with day-to-day distress and building emotional regulation.

Another strand of his work attends to attachment and relational patterns, exploring how early experiences and current relationships influence intimacy, trust, and self-esteem. This collaborative exploration can help people resolve repeating difficulties in relationships and improve communication and connection.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process - he works together with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Through a collaborative assessment he helps identify what is most likely to be helpful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and consistency. Sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for people with busy schedules or those who prefer typed communication. These choices make it easier to maintain regular contact with a registered professional and to fit therapy into everyday life.
