About Roderic
Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor with nine years' clinical experience working with adults across the United Kingdom. He focuses on problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship strain. He also works with life purpose questions alongside issues like midlife change, fatherhood and money worries.
He trained as a counsellor after a long career in corporate leadership, so he brings practical workplace understanding into sessions. He blends psychodynamic therapy with cognitive behavioural approaches. That means he helps people look at how past patterns influence current feelings, while also using tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Sessions are conversational and direct. Roderic listens for repeating themes and asks focused questions to help people clarify what matters now. He offers practical coping strategies for sleep problems, panic episodes, and addictive behaviours, and he works through grief and end-of-life concerns in a paced way.
People who are questioning their life direction or coping with big transitions will find sessions that combine reflection with concrete steps. He discusses goals and adjusts the pace to fit each person, keeping sessions straightforward and task-focused when needed.
Roderic works in English and provides online sessions across the UK. The fees vary by location and are organised via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and books an initial appointment through the platform.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Roderic uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. CBT often includes short exercises and practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage urges linked to addictions.He also draws on psychodynamic therapy, which looks at past relationships and repeating patterns. This approach helps people make sense of long-standing reactions and understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the person finds most useful. That collaborative process helps match practical tools with deeper reflection.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions sit alongside work or family commitments. Ask about scheduling and the session length when you complete the matching questionnaire.
