Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor who offers online therapy to people across the United Kingdom. He combines psychodynamic thinking with cognitive-behavioural tools to help people understand recurring patterns while building practical ways to cope. He brings nine years of counselling experience and previous corporate leadership experience to his work.

Roderic tends to work in a calm, structured way. He listens carefully and helps people make sense of difficult feelings.

Background and approach

He then introduces straightforward strategies that can be practised between sessions. Typical concerns he supports include stress, anxiety, grief, depression and sleeping problems. He also helps with addictions, anger, relationship issues, parenting strains and questions about life purpose.

Roderic pays attention to themes such as attachment, abandonment and fatherhood issues, and he can talk through challenges related to ageing, hospice care and bereavement. He also supports people facing midlife crises, financial worries and social anxiety. Sessions are collaborative and practical.

People can expect conversations that are honest and empathetic, and tools that aim to build resilience in everyday life.

How Roderic’s approaches work online

Roderic uses cognitive-behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is practical and often helpful for anxiety, panic, sleeping problems and managing mood. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and earlier life experiences to understand how they affect current feelings and relationships. This approach can help when grief, attachment or long-standing difficulties are involved.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative, and Roderic adjusts techniques based on what feels useful for each person.

Online therapy offers different ways to meet depending on what suits someone's life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when video is not wanted. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, jotting down thoughts, or fitting support around a busy schedule. These options make it easier to get regular support without travelling.
