About Chris
NCPS. 7 years' experience. Chris Rottcher works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, self esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, family problems, grief, eating concerns, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. He also focuses on adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues and a range of personality and dissociation concerns.
Chris describes his practice as integrative and draws on several therapeutic models during counselling. Sessions involve direct, honest communication and active listening. He aims to build a working relationship where people feel able to go deeper over time and talk through past and present hurts.
He uses relational ideas to look at how connections with others affect wellbeing. He pays attention to the body and how emotions and physical sensations link together. He also helps people process meaning when life feels empty or confusing.
Chris emphasises self-awareness and agency. He supports reflection on actions and patterns so people can make different choices in daily life. When trauma is present, he works with the ways it affects relationships, body responses and sense-making.
Sessions combine conversational work with established therapeutic techniques from attachment-based, client-centred, existential, Jungian and mindfulness approaches. The goal is practical change - clearer thinking about problems, calmer responses and more manageable day-to-day coping. He offers counselling in English and Afrikaans and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can be used to explore patterns in current and past relationships and to practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own pace and choices; online conversations follow the client's lead and aim to make space for personal reflection. Mindfulness practice brings attention to present-moment sensations and breathing, which can help with anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions.Choosing an approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying different ways of working across sessions and checking in about what helps most.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to work with a registered professional in a different location, which is useful for international clients and those with constrained schedules.
