About Chris
Chris Rottcher is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, eating concerns, anger, ADHD and life changes. Chris works in English and Afrikaans and practises from the United Kingdom.
His style is straightforward and conversational. He focuses on building a steady, trusting connection so clients feel heard and can go deeper when ready.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in honest listening and practical reflection rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all techniques. Chris draws on Jungian ideas alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. He pays attention to early patterns, how relationships shaped emotional habits, and how people make meaning in their lives.
He also uses mindfulness and existential perspectives to help people notice what matters now and how to respond to it. He describes therapy as a journey through past and present hurts toward greater balance. The work often involves gently examining difficult memories, recognising bodily signals, and trying out different ways of responding.
Over time the aim is clearer self-awareness and more choice in how to live day to day. Chris holds the NCPS credential, which appears with his professional details. He has seven years of practice experience and accepts international clients who prefer video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support
How Chris’s approaches translate to online therapy
Jungian Therapy pays attention to symbols, dreams and the stories people tell about their lives; online work can use conversation and reflective tasks to uncover repeating themes and meanings that affect mood and behaviour. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and responses; this helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties and can be explored through discussions and relational exercises in sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean emphasising relational exploration one week and mindfulness or existential reflection the next, according to what the client finds most useful.
Online formats offer a range of practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client keep visual contact and do deeper dialogue. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need flexible timing, or want ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy accessible and easier to fit into a busy life.
