About Chris Rottcher

Chris Rottcher is an integrative counsellor with seven years of experience who draws on a range of therapeutic models to meet each person's needs. He creates a space defined by authentic communication and attentive listening so people feel heard and understood. As trust grows in the therapeutic relationship, he supports clients to explore past and present hurts, working step by step to process trauma and difficult experiences in ways that aim for lasting relief and greater emotional balance.

Chris trained as a REMA therapist, an approach that highlights four intertwined human needs: relational connection, the embodied nature of mind and body, the search for meaning, and personal agency. He attends to how relationships shape wellbeing, how emotions and bodily sensations express inner experience, how meaning is made from life events, and how increased self-awareness supports better choices and greater control. This framework guides his work when trauma, attachment wounds, or life transitions leave someone feeling stuck.

Holding the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification, Chris offers therapy for a variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, eating concerns, anger, career questions, ADHD, and related family and developmental matters. Based in the United Kingdom, he accepts clients internationally and provides therapy in English and Afrikaans.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and What to Expect

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises the role of relationships in emotional wellbeing. It helps people understand how early and current relationships shape their reactions, attachment needs, and patterns in close connections, and is often used for relationship challenges, attachment issues, and trauma-related concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy centres the person seeking help by offering nonjudgmental listening and collaborative exploration. This approach supports self-discovery and emotional processing, and is useful for stress, low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.

Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It can help people facing life changes, feelings of meaninglessness, or difficult decisions by clarifying values and fostering a stronger sense of agency.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Chris works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to identify which approaches best match an individual's needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit around work, family, and geographic limitations. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, continue work between sessions, and access care from different locations while working with a registered therapist who can tailor the approach to each person's situation.
