Roderic McCann, BACP

Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor who offers therapy to adults across the United Kingdom. He combines insight into past patterns with practical tools to help people cope. His background in corporate leadership informs a grounded, straightforward style.Roderic keeps sessions compassionate and structured. He listens for repeating themes and helps clients build small, manageable changes. People meet him for practical strategies as well as a space to talk.

He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships and life events shape current feelings and actions. He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. Together these approaches aim to make sense of why things feel difficult and to create steps that actually help.

Roderic has nine years of counselling experience and a history of senior corporate roles before retraining. That combination shapes a pragmatic approach: honest conversations, clear goals, and coping techniques you can try between sessions. He pays attention to stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, relationships, addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and life changes.

Sessions are organised to fit around busy lives, with scheduling flexibility. Costs vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and book according to therapist availability.

Roderic conducts work in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

How CBT and psychodynamic work online

Roderic uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT often includes setting small tasks between sessions to try out different behaviours and notice what changes.

He also draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences and early relationships influence current patterns. That approach is about making sense of recurring feelings and relationships so choices feel clearer in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide which methods to try. Sessions can blend both styles so insight and practical tools are used together.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible scheduling to help therapy fit into a busy routine.
