Christoper Schippers-Wakeling , BACP

Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience supporting people through periods of stress, anxiety, intimacy concerns, anger, motivation challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. He combines practical guidance with a respectful, non-judgmental manner to help clients explore their thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer goals.

Known for creating an open space where difficult topics can be discussed without fear of criticism, Christoper encourages clients to take the courageous steps needed for meaningful change. He aims to support and empower individuals as they build greater resilience and pursue a more satisfying life.

Christoper holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. His approach centers on collaboration, practical tools, and compassionate encouragement to help clients move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Christoper uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that can be delivered effectively online. He employs structured, goal-oriented methods that help identify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns and then develop practical steps to shift them - these techniques are useful for issues like anxiety, low motivation, and workplace stress. He also draws on emotion-focused and relational approaches that explore attachment, intimacy, and patterns in close relationships - this work helps clients understand how past and present connections influence current feelings and behaviors. In addition, he teaches skills-based strategies for managing anger, panic symptoms, sleep difficulties, and everyday coping - these tools aim to reduce immediate distress and build longer term resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christoper works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are tailored and adjusted over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face connection from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, time-friendly options for those with busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats can make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
