About Chris
Chris Rottcher, NCPS, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, addictions and grief. He also supports people dealing with body image, career change, ADHD and the many practical fallout issues that follow difficult life events. Sessions are conversational and straightforward.
He aims to make the room a place where people feel heard and safe to speak frankly. Chris works in an integrative way and draws on several therapies rather than a single method.
Background and approach
He prioritises a calm, relational style that focuses on how past experiences affect present choices. Over time he encourages reflection so people can understand why they act as they do and begin to make different choices. Therapy with Chris often looks at how the body, emotions, beliefs and spirituality connect.
He pays attention to physical sensations as clues to psychological pain. This embodied view helps when trauma or chronic stress shows up as physical tension or sleep problems. Meaning-making is central to his approach.
When life feels empty or hopeless he helps people find or reframe meaning so they can feel more hopeful and purposeful again. He also attends to attachment patterns and how relationships shape behaviour and expectations. Chris trained within relational and experiential frameworks and brings seven years of experience to his practice.
He holds NCPS as a credential and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans and he accepts international clients.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Chris often uses Existential Therapy to help people face questions of meaning, purpose and choice when life feels confusing or empty. This approach looks at values and personal responsibility rather than offering quick fixes. He pairs that with Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change unhelpful relational habits.Client-Centred Therapy is also part of his practice, meaning sessions aim to be warm, non-judgemental and focused on the person’s own goals. That collaborative stance helps people steer the work and decide what feels most useful for them. Chris will discuss options and together they will choose the approaches that best fit the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and body language matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send messages between sessions and fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care across distances and different schedules, and they let people try different formats to find what works best.
