About Roderic
Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience working with adults across the United Kingdom. He blends psychodynamic insight with cognitive-behavioural tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger and life changes. Roderic uses straightforward language and practical steps rather than jargon.
Roderic draws on his background in corporate leadership to understand workplace pressures and the stress they bring. He helps clients untangle recurring patterns that fuel frustration and resentment. Sessions include discussion of how past experiences shape present reactions.
He combines short-term strategies with deeper reflection. Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and experiences influence emotional responses now.
People who come to him for anger-related problems often want clearer ways to respond under stress. He offers practical coping techniques, skills to reduce reactivity, and ways to repair strained relationships where possible. The focus is on manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
Roderic encourages honest, collaborative conversations that respect the client’s values. He aims to make sessions structured and easy to follow, with strategies people can use between meetings. For anyone juggling work and life demands, he tries to fit support into everyday routines.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Roderic uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviours they produce. CBT is suited to issues like anxiety, anger triggers, sleeping problems and stress because it offers practical techniques that can be practised between sessions.He also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to help people understand patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. This approach looks at how those patterns turn up in current life and relationships, which can be useful for longstanding resentment, attachment issues and grief.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Roderic will work with each person to decide whether CBT, psychodynamic work or a combination fits their goals, needs and preferences. That discussion is part of the early sessions rather than a one-off decision.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce time spent travelling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions help people keep continuity while balancing other commitments.
