About Chris

Chris Rottcher is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, parenting strain and self-esteem difficulties. He also supports clients with addiction, grief, eating and anger concerns, and people coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. He is identified as NCPS on his profile and has seven years of practice experience.

Chris works in a direct, conversational way. Sessions focus on honest communication so people feel heard and understood.

Background and approach

As trust builds, he helps clients look deeper into past and present hurts and how those experiences affect daily life. His approach is integrative. He draws on several therapeutic models to match the work to each person.

That can include looking at attachment patterns, exploring meaning and identity, and paying attention to how emotions show up in the body. In practical terms Chris helps people process trauma and find more balanced ways to respond to stress. He pays attention to how relationships, belief systems and life events shape feelings and behaviour.

He aims for outcomes that leave people feeling steadier and more in control of their choices. Chris speaks English and Afrikaans and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are offered in several online formats so people can choose what fits their routine and needs.

Ways of working Chris names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing

Chris commonly draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process painful events and reduce the ways those memories affect daily life. This approach concentrates on working through trauma responses and building practical ways to manage symptoms and triggers.

He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and behaviour. That work can help people notice repeating dynamics, improve how they relate to others and feel safer in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, life context and preferences and then shape the therapy to fit. That makes the process collaborative and responsive as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different routines. Video calls suit deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging work well for shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping focus on meaningful progress.
