Counselling for Seniors in Rochester
Hello I'm Elizabeth and I offer you a calm, inclusive, non-judgmental space. Are you feeling tired and finding your everyday life and work draining you? Perhaps you feel anxious and disconnected from friends and colleagues. The space I give can help to hold you and explore the feelings and emotions you are experiencing. Life is hectic, full of messages and activities, targets and things we need to 'live up to' and can leave us feeling alone and overwhelmed and without anyone to listen and hear.
I can sit alongside you and help to explore 'You' in an authentic and genuine safe space.

Hello, I'm Kat. I'm a qualified counsellor on a mission to make therapy feel less scary. Life can throw all kinds of stuff at us, regardless of our age, race, gender, or sexuality. It's not always easy to navigate, so that's why I'm here to support you. I work at your pace and won't force you to talk about anything you don't want to. That doesn't mean there won't be a gentle challenge sometimes, as good therapy usually needs one, but the sessions are your space to work through whatever you want to bring.
As well as traditional talking therapies, I can also offer clients elements of creative, art and movement therapy.

Hi, I’m Jayne.
You might be navigating the loss of a relationship or someone close to you, feeling stuck in a situation that no longer fits, or carrying a weight that’s hard to name. Life can look fine on the outside, but inside feel unsettled or quietly overwhelming.
I support people who may appear to be coping on the outside, but feel overwhelmed or stuck underneath — including those who have felt misunderstood or under pressure to manage alone. These feelings might follow loss, relationship endings, or work-related stress, or a long-standing sense that something isn’t quite right.

Hi, I’m Lynda, a counsellor based in Rochester. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or carrying a grief that’s hard to explain. Maybe something has changed in your life, or perhaps it’s been building for a while. I offer a calm, steady space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. We’ll take things at your pace. Sometimes we may sit with what’s heavy; other times, we might begin to gently untangle it. Together, we’ll explore ways to cope and feel more grounded in who you are.

My name is Nicola and I’m an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist registered with BACP. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, panic attacks and specialise in trauma, rape and sexual abuse.
While therapeutic techniques provide structure, I believe the most effective counselling comes from the relationship we build together, one founded on trust, understanding, and meaningful engagement. Through deep listening and thoughtful reflection, I help you explore your emotions, untangle complex thoughts, and reconnect with your inner strength.

I work best with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem, and burnout, often at a point in their lives where they feel stuck, or sense that something needs to change. Together, we start by understanding the ways of being that once served them: how they developed, how they worked, and the effect they're having now. From there, we experiment with new ways of being that align more closely with who they are today, and how they want to move forward.
I offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy and provide a welcoming, inclusive space for people of all genders, identities, and sexual orientations.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
