Roderic McCann, BACP

Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor who offers online work across the United Kingdom, Ireland and the EU. He combines psychodynamic listening with cognitive-behavioural tools to help people understand their patterns and learn practical ways to change. He aims to be compassionate while keeping sessions focused and useful.

Roderic spent over 20 years in corporate leadership before retraining as a counsellor, and brings that background into conversations about workplace stress and life transitions. He helps people talk through grief, burnout, anxiety and moral injury, and supports those facing midlife shifts and questions about life purpose. His manner is grounded and relatable, with an eye for both personal and professional pressures.

Sessions are work-focused and collaborative. He listens for recurring themes, gently traces their roots, and offers behavioural ideas clients can try between meetings. He also helps set goals and track small changes so progress is clearer and more manageable.

Roderic describes his style as compassionate yet structured. He provides practical coping strategies for sleeping problems, panic and social anxiety, as well as support around addictions, relationship strains and fatherhood concerns. The aim is to build resilience for everyday life.

People choosing him often want a counsellor who mixes reflection with clear direction. If you are weighing big changes, dealing with loss, or struggling with stress and anxiety, Roderic works to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.

How Roderic uses psychological approaches online

Roderic draws on two main approaches to shape online work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying different actions to change how someone feels. It is often useful for anxiety, panic, sleeping problems and low mood.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and emotional history to help people understand why they react a certain way. It can be helpful for issues like attachment, abandonment feelings, and longstanding relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Roderic works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs and goals, and he checks in about what is working as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of support during life changes while still tailoring each meeting to practical goals and coping strategies.
