About Roderic
Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor who offers online therapy for people across the United Kingdom. He combines psychodynamic insight with cognitive behavioural tools to help people understand recurring patterns and try practical ways to feel better. He presents as compassionate and structured, aiming to balance listening with clear direction.
Roderic has nine years of practice as a counsellor and draws on over 20 years of corporate leadership experience before retraining. That background shapes how he talks about work stress, burnout and moral injury, and it helps him relate to day-to-day pressures. He works with adults who are dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, addictions and sleeping problems among other concerns.
Sessions focus on two things: making sense of where difficulties come from, and building small, doable strategies to cope. Expect a mix of talking about past patterns and trying out cognitive behavioural techniques for mood, sleep and anxiety. He aims for conversations that are honest, practical and respectful of a person's values.
Roderic also helps people with parenting strains, relationship problems, anger, life changes and issues such as abandonment or attachment difficulties. He supports those facing ageing or end-of-life matters and people managing money worries, midlife challenges or seasonal mood changes.
People who choose him often mention his straightforward style and the way he links emotional insight to real-life steps. To start, visitors can use the site process to match and schedule their first session.
How CBT and psychodynamic work in online counselling
Roderic uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In plain terms this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change mood, anxiety or sleep habits. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and repeated patterns affect current life, using reflection to make those patterns clearer and easier to change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients test what feels most helpful. That might mean starting with practical CBT techniques for sleep or panic, then using psychodynamic reflection to understand deeper patterns that keep problems returning.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep momentum between appointments. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options can vary. The main practical benefit is flexibility - sessions can be scheduled to suit work, family and everyday life so people can keep therapy consistent without long travel times.
