About me

My name is Kate Rochford and I am an experienced, qualified psychotherapist working in Aberdeen, offering psychotherapy for adults, couples counselling, intimate partners therapy and relationships therapy. I offer a professional, 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 offer a welcome space for Gender, Sexuality, Relationship, Diversity exploration, to help deepen understanding, validation and self awareness within the therapeutic relationship.

Relationship Therapy, Couples Therapy, Contemporary Intimate Partner Therapy: We will work together to explore more about what you are looking for in therapy and in your relationships. I will help identify ways to better communication, facilitate dialogues and provide more clarity. 

The supportive and respectful space I offer can help co-create agreements and manage conflict.  Exploring what is important in the relationship for each partner can help make decisions and choices alongside positive change. 

I provide both long- term psychotherapy and short term counselling, using a humanistic, integrative approach. I enjoy working with clients to help develop insights, effective communication and make connections which enhance positive change.
