About Roderic
Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor with nine years of clinical experience working across the United Kingdom. He focuses on anxiety, stress, grief, relationship strains and related concerns, including social anxiety and phobia. He combines psychodynamic thinking with cognitive behavioural techniques to help clients understand problems and try different ways of coping.
Roderic spent over 20 years in corporate leadership before retraining as a counsellor, so he is used to the pressures of work and life changes. He helps people who are juggling careers, family roles and emotional strain to put practical steps in place alongside exploring underlying patterns.
In sessions he listens for recurring themes from a person’s life and links those patterns to current difficulties. He also teaches clear strategies from cognitive behavioural work, such as breaking unhelpful thinking cycles and practising small behavioural changes.
People who come to him for grief, panic or persistent anxiety can expect a mix of reflection and action. He offers straightforward conversations about values and goals while suggesting exercises to try between sessions. The pace is negotiated with each person’s needs and circumstances.
Roderic works in English and provides online counselling across the UK, Ireland and EU. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Roderic uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas as the main ways of working. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising small changes to reduce anxiety and panic. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns in relationships or life that can influence current feelings and choices.Finding the best approach is part of the work. He discusses what feels useful and practical with each person and adjusts the mix of CBT and psychodynamic work to match goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography indicates he offers online counselling, but it does not list exact session types. Please confirm which online formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practise strategies in their everyday environment while still working with a registered professional to plan next steps.
