About Roderic

Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor who combines long experience in corporate leadership with nine years practising therapy. He offers a calm, practical way of working that helps people make sense of recurring patterns and find manageable steps forward. Roderic presents as compassionate but structured, listening closely and bringing clear direction when needed.

He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to build practical coping tools for everyday life. This mix helps people both understand why things happen and try out different responses.

Roderic works with adults facing grief, work stress and burnout, high-functioning anxiety, and other life transitions. He also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship concerns, parenting pressures, and money and financial issues. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual client and on steps they can try between meetings.

Sessions are conversational and goal‑oriented but leave room for deeper exploration when that feels useful. Roderic aims to help clients notice patterns, test new behaviours, and build resilience in daily routines. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where values and practical needs guide the work.

Roderic practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. He asks people who wish to start to use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange scheduling according to his availability.

How Roderic uses psychodynamic insight and CBT online

Roderic works with psychodynamic ideas to help people see how past relationships and experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. This approach often involves talking through recurring patterns to understand their origins and how they play out now.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT tends to offer practical tools and step‑by‑step strategies for issues like anxiety, panic, low mood, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roderic discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they choose which methods to try. He frames the process as collaborative, adjusting techniques as needs and progress become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people use sessions to focus on practical skills or to talk through deeper patterns without rearranging their day entirely.
