About Chris
Chris Rottcher is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans and Chris accepts international clients.
Chris uses a mix of therapeutic approaches rather than one fixed method. He focuses on clear, direct communication in sessions. That means listening carefully, reflecting back what he hears, and helping the client say what matters most. Over time clients often find it easier to explore deeper material when the relationship feels steady.
He pays attention to how past events and present life intersect. Trauma, grief and attachment wounds are discussed in ways that connect feelings, memories and behaviour. He also attends to how bodily sensations and emotions are linked, inviting people to notice physical signals alongside thoughts.
Meaning and agency are part of his approach. Chris helps people make sense of difficult experiences so they can consider different choices. The focus is on building self-awareness so actions feel less automatic and more chosen.
Practical problems such as parenting stress, work pressures, addiction issues, eating concerns and coping with life changes are brought into the conversations. He also works with topics like adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism spectrum concerns and bereavement. The intention is to process painful material and aim for changes that feel lasting.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and trust. Online sessions using this lens look at patterns in close relationships, helping people notice how they react and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and acceptance. In sessions the counsellor reflects what is said, supports the client to find their own insights, and helps them make decisions that feel right for them. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience. It helps people notice thoughts, emotions and bodily signals without getting swept away. This can be useful for anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful based on the client’s concerns, goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as the process moves on. That decision is made together rather than imposed. Session formats should be confirmed before booking, as they are not specified here. Ask about which options are offered and choose what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid being on camera if that feels better.Areas of focus
