About Roderic
Roderic McCann trained as a counsellor after a long career in corporate leadership and now works with adults across the United Kingdom. He is BACP registered, and combines practical tools with reflective listening to help people manage difficult periods. Roderic aims to be clear and down-to-earth while offering empathic support.
He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present feelings. That helps people make sense of repeated reactions and relationships.
Background and approach
He also uses cognitive-behavioural techniques to build concrete coping strategies for day-to-day life. Roderic often helps with grief and loss, workplace stress and burnout, and high-functioning anxiety. He also supports people facing moral injury, difficult life transitions and issues around parenting, self-esteem or addiction.
Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and deciding practical next steps. His style is compassionate yet structured. He listens for recurring patterns, asks direct questions to clarify what’s happening, and works with clients to test new ways of responding.
That mix is intended to give both insight and actionable change. Roderic’s prior corporate experience informs his awareness of professional pressures. He aims to offer conversations that respect a person’s values while encouraging resilience.
Prospective clients are invited to consider whether this blend of reflection and skills work fits their needs.

Approaches Roderic lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Roderic works online
He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, panic, low mood, sleep problems and for building coping strategies that work in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Roderic works collaboratively to clarify your priorities and tries methods that match your goals and preferences. Together you can review what helps and adjust the plan as needed over time.
Details about online session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity with a therapist even when schedules change, while the practical focus of CBT and the reflective work of psychodynamic therapy can both be carried out effectively in remote sessions.
