About Roderic
Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor who brings nine years of clinical practice and prior corporate leadership experience to his online work. He offers short, focused sessions that mix talking through the past with practical steps for today. His manner is calm and straightforward, aimed at parents and adults who want clear, usable help.
He often helps people facing stress, anxiety and grief. He also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, addictions and anger.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns are a named focus, so he works with parents who feel overwhelmed, burnt out or unsure how to respond to difficult moments. Roderic uses cognitive-behavioural tools to build coping strategies and psychodynamic ideas to look at where patterns come from. Sessions may move between practical skill-building and reflecting on personal history.
The therapist keeps things structured while staying empathetic and down-to-earth. People can expect straightforward conversations about values and goals, with exercises to try between sessions. He aims to make therapy useful for everyday life, whether the need is managing panic, improving sleep, or coping with major change.
Roderic works online across the United Kingdom in English. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Roderic lists

Remote approaches that combine practical skills and personal insight
Roderic works with two main approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems and low mood because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring emotional patterns and how past relationships shape present reactions. This approach can help people who want to understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings or repeat themselves over time.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to shape the work so it fits their values and day-to-day life.
Online therapy makes fitting sessions around parenting and work easier. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings, phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth, and text or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy schedule and the therapist and client can focus on what helps most.
