About Chris
Chris Rottcher is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. He works with problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulty, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, self-esteem, addictions, grief and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and Afrikaans, and international clients are accepted.
Chris describes his work as integrative, drawing on several therapeutic models during therapy. He aims for straightforward communication so people feel heard and understood. Over time this can help clients feel more comfortable and able to address deeper hurts and patterns.
Therapy with him often looks at how past and present events affect daily life. He pays attention to how thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations interact. He also explores how meaning and personal agency shape responses to stress, frustration and anger.
His approach emphasises relationships and how being in tune with oneself and others matters to wellbeing. He also attends to embodied experience, noticing how feelings show up in the body and how that affects behaviour. This can be useful when anger feels physical or overwhelming.
He uses techniques from attachment-based, client-centred, Jungian, existential and mindfulness-influenced work to help people reflect and make choices. The aim is to process trauma and reduce the hold of unhelpful patterns so people feel steadier in daily life. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect reactions such as anger or mistrust. It looks at relational habits and how to create new, more helpful ways of relating.Client-centred therapy emphasises straightforward listening and acceptance. The counsellor offers attentive, non-directive dialogue so the person can explore feelings and make their own choices about change.
Mindfulness-informed techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts, bodily sensations and triggers in the moment. These practices can help reduce reactivity and create space for different responses to frustration or resentment.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of early sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to assess needs, goals and preferences and then adapt methods accordingly. That way the work fits what the person wants to address and how they prefer to work.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to appointments.
