About Chris
Chris Rottcher, NCPS, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, and self‑esteem struggles. He also works with issues like addiction, ADHD, identity concerns, eating difficulties and transitions such as divorce or bereavement. He communicates plainly and aims to make people feel heard and understood from the first session.
Chris takes an integrative approach that blends several therapies so sessions fit each person. He focuses on building a steady therapeutic relationship before going deeper. That relationship becomes a place to talk through past hurts and current problems at a pace that feels manageable.
He describes therapy as relational, embodied, meaning‑making and agentic. That means attention to how people relate to others, how feelings show up in the body, the stories people tell about their lives, and finding more choice in how they act. These ideas shape what happens in the room rather than a single fixed method.
Over seven years of practice, Chris has used techniques drawn from attachment‑based work, client‑centred listening, existential questioning, Jungian ideas and mindfulness. He aims to help people process trauma and discover lasting change by combining talk with practical reflection.
Chris lists a particular interest in adoption and foster care matters alongside other focus areas such as attachment issues and blended family concerns. He offers sessions in English and Afrikaans and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
How Chris’s approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment‑based work focuses on how people form bonds and feel safe with others. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relating, improve communication skills and process attachment injuries in the context of a steady therapeutic relationship.Client‑centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps clients find their own solutions, which can suit gentle, paced online work for emotional concerns and life decisions.
Mindfulness approaches teach attention to the present moment and bodily experience. Simple breath and grounding practices or short reflective exercises can be shared during online sessions to help with anxiety, stress and emotion regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify which methods match the client’s goals, values and preferences and adjust the work as trust grows.
The original biography does not list which session formats are used for online work, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments around daily life, avoid travel time and use flexible scheduling for short check‑ins or longer therapy slots. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online support in different ways, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements during the first contact to make sessions usable for day‑to‑day life.
