About Roderic

Roderic McCann works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties, using cognitive-behavioural tools alongside psychodynamic insight. He is BACP registered and has nine years' experience as a counsellor.

Roderic combines talking through past patterns with practical steps for day-to-day life. Sessions focus on identifying recurring behaviours and testing small changes. He uses straightforward CBT techniques to build coping skills and psychodynamic ideas to look at where difficulties may have started.

Before training in counselling he spent more than two decades in corporate leadership. That background shapes a pragmatic style and an understanding of workplace pressures. He brings that experience to conversations about work stress, burnout and life transitions.

Clients can expect a structured, conversational approach. Roderic aims to help people make sense of repeated problems, practise new responses and manage strong emotions such as anger or grief. He discusses practical strategies for sleep, panic, and addictive behaviours when relevant.

Roderic works with issues including abandonment, attachment, blended family and fatherhood questions, ageing and hospice or end-of-life matters. He also addresses money worries, midlife change, seasonal mood changes and social anxiety. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

He offers counselling in English across the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Roderic uses cognitive-behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test practical changes. CBT focuses on patterns of thought and behaviour and is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep problems and mood difficulties.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings. That approach helps when people want to understand where repeated problems come from and how early attachments may affect them now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and use CBT or psychodynamic methods, or a mix, depending on what suits the person's needs. This is decided together in early sessions and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Details of session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday routines.
