About Roderic

Roderic McCann is a counsellor who brings nine years of professional practice and prior corporate leadership to his online work. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and offers sessions across the United Kingdom. Roderic aims to combine thoughtful listening with practical steps so people can feel steadier day to day.

He uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice recurring patterns and origins of distress. That approach looks at how past experiences and relationships affect present feelings and choices.

Background and approach

He pairs this with cognitive behavioural tools to teach simple strategies for managing thoughts, moods and sleep. People contact him about stress at work, anxiety, low mood and grief. He also supports those dealing with addiction-type behaviours, relationship strain, anger and life changes such as midlife shifts or bereavement.

Roderic lists additional interests including parenting challenges, fatherhood issues, ageing and end-of-life concerns. Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which lets people fit therapy into busy lives. He aims for a gentle but structured style - listening first, then working with the client to set clear steps.

Practical coping techniques and honest conversation are central to his way of working. Roderic often helps people who want to understand why they repeat certain patterns while also learning tools to cope better. He supports goal-setting and small, achievable changes that build resilience over time.

How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them. It teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety, panic, sleep problems and mood, often through short exercises and simple behaviour changes. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. It helps people make sense of why certain feelings and responses keep repeating in their lives.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Roderic will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that match the person’s needs. That collaborative process means the focus can shift over time from understanding roots to building day-to-day skills, or the other way round if that suits the client better.

Online therapy in his practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat can suit a quick check-in and messaging works for shorter, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and established therapeutic methods.
