Roderic McCann, BACP

Roderic McCann is a counsellor with nine years' experience and a BACP registration. He offers online therapy across the United Kingdom and brings a background in corporate leadership to his counselling work. He describes a style that is compassionate but structured and aims to help people manage life pressures with clear, practical steps.

Roderic blends psychodynamic thinking with cognitive-behavioural tools. He helps people look at where patterns come from and also teaches ways to change day-to-day responses. Sessions focus on understanding feelings and building coping skills that fit real life.

People come to him for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, sleeping problems and issues around parenting and relationships. He also lists additional areas such as ageing and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counselling, and midlife changes. Roderic notes he aims to balance empathy with clear direction when working through these topics.

His background in senior corporate roles informs how he supports work-related stress, burnout and moral injury. That experience also shapes practical strategies for time, money and role pressures. He frames therapy as an honest, collaborative conversation where values guide decisions.

Roderic says clients can expect flexible scheduling and practical coping strategies tailored to their needs. He prioritises helping people feel more resilient in everyday life while exploring deeper patterns that shape behaviour.

How Roderic uses CBT and psychodynamic ideas online

Roderic uses two main ways of working that complement each other. Cognitive-behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks or low mood. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early patterns influence current feelings and choices, helping people make sense of repeating cycles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Roderic aims to agree the best fit together, based on a person’s goals, history and what feels helpful in sessions. He approaches this as a collaborative process and may adapt emphasis as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for flexible scheduling. It also lets conversations focus on practical strategies and pattern work in ways that suit everyday routines. Confirm the available formats when you book so sessions match your needs and daily commitments.
