Kate Rochford Counselling & Psychotherapy

My name is Kate Rochford and I am an experienced psychotherapist working in Aberdeen, offering psychotherapy and counselling for adults and young adults. I offer a safe, confidential and non–judgemental environment where you can explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours.

Together, we will work to navigate and manage your difficulties, with the ultimate aim of enhancing your sense of well being and in turn, enabling you to lead a fuller and more satisfying life.

I provide both long– term psychotherapy and short term counselling, using a humanistic, integrative approach. I work with clients to help develop insights, to understand better their relationships, and patterns of behaviour, which enhance positive change.

Confidentiality is of the utmost importance in the session and therefore I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling & Psychotherapy and the UKCP, Code of Ethics.

All my work is appropriately supervised in accordance with the BACP and UKCP guidelines. I have undergone and continue to maintain intensive psychotherapy of my own, which I regard a necessary and important part of my training, and supports my counselling for others.

Since 2013 I have been providing a psychotherapy service one day a week in a GP surgery, and set up my private practice in January 2016.
