Chris Rottcher , NCPS

Chris Rottcher is an integrative counsellor who blends multiple therapeutic models to meet each person's unique needs. He prioritizes authentic communication so that people feel heard and understood, and he aims to foster a secure therapeutic connection that makes it easier to explore deeper issues over time. In sessions he works collaboratively to examine past and present hurts, including trauma, and to process those experiences in ways that support lasting healing and greater balance.

Trained as a REMA therapist, he emphasizes four core themes - relational connection, the lived experience of the body, meaning-making, and personal agency - and weaves these into the therapeutic work. He pays attention to how relationships shape wellbeing, how emotions and bodily signals reflect inner states, how finding meaning combats hopelessness, and how developing self-awareness supports more intentional choices. That relational, embodied, meaning-focused, and agentic stance guides the pace and direction of therapy.

Chris holds the NCPS credential, which reflects professional qualification in his field. He aims to journey alongside people with empathy and practical techniques, helping them process difficult material and move toward feeling more whole and centered.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Chris uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationships influence patterns of connection and emotional safety - this approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and struggles with trust. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and experience guide the work - this approach supports self-esteem, decision-making, and personal growth. Mindfulness Therapy is used to help people become more aware of bodily sensations and emotional patterns, which can reduce reactivity and aid coping with stress, anxiety, and trauma symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chris works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He will adjust the focus over time so the work stays relevant and effective, involving the client in choices about pace and emphasis.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from different locations and to fit therapy into busy schedules. Licensed professionals and therapists can provide meaningful, ongoing care through these formats while accommodating individual preferences and life commitments.
