About Chris
Chris Rottcher is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and issues with self‑esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and Afrikaans, and he accepts international clients.
Chris describes his work as relational and grounded in honest communication. He prioritises building a steady therapeutic connection so people feel understood and can go deeper over time. That gradual comfort lets him and the client look at both recent hurts and older wounds that keep showing up.
He uses a range of approaches rather than a single model. That means he draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns, mindfulness to help with present‑moment coping, and psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to examine recurring themes from the past. Therapy is conversational but focused on practical shifts in how someone thinks and reacts.
Chris also pays attention to the body and to how meaning is made in life. He encourages noticing physical signals and reflecting on why certain responses happen, so clients gain clearer choice over their actions. This is especially useful for people who find they snap in anger or repeatedly feel overwhelmed.
Overall, his aim is to help clients process painful experiences and reduce the ways those experiences interfere with daily life. He uses a mix of listening, reflection and therapeutic techniques to support stronger self‑awareness and steadier emotional responses.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Chris commonly uses Attachment‑Based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions. That approach helps when anger shows up in close relationships or when trust and connection feel shaky.He also uses Client‑Centered methods, which focus on listening and following what matters to the client. That style supports practical reflection and helps people explore why they act or react the way they do. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment‑to‑moment awareness, useful for noticing bodily cues before an outburst and practising calmer responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. That shared decision making helps set realistic, practical steps for managing anger and stress.
