Roderic McCann, BACP

Roderic McCann is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice. He combines psychodynamic work with cognitive behavioural tools to help people understand why certain patterns repeat and to build practical ways to cope. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship frustrations, among other concerns including blended family issues.

He uses questions and reflection to trace how past experiences link to present difficulties. Then he introduces concrete exercises drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches. Sessions tend to mix talking about history with testing small changes in daily life.

Roderic draws on his previous corporate leadership background when people are dealing with workplace stress, burnout or midlife change. He aims for straightforward conversation and clear options rather than jargon. That often means setting small, practical goals between meetings.

People who come to him for parenting and blended household concerns can expect help with communication patterns, role clarity and coping strategies for loyalty conflicts. He also works with issues such as fatherhood questions, money worries and process addictions, using both short-term coping tools and longer-term reflection.

Sessions are focused and conversational. Roderic asks about current problems and recent attempts to cope, then outlines steps to try. He encourages review of what helped and what did not, adjusting the plan as needed.
