About Roderic
He works with adults facing grief and loss, workplace stress and burnout, anxiety, depression, and anger. He also supports people dealing with addictions, sleeping problems, low self-esteem and life transitions. There is a focus on issues such as fatherhood, blended family concerns, abandonment, and ageing and geriatric questions.
Roderic’s style is compassionate and structured. He listens to personal stories and traces how past experiences influence present reactions. He then introduces straightforward coping techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Psychodynamic ideas inform longer-term themes and relationships that keep problems recurring. Sessions aim to help clients spot those themes and choose different responses. Practical coaching elements are used where clients want focused work on goals or life direction.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People should follow the Start Therapy process on the site, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions are provided in English by a BACP counsellor working in the UK, Ireland, and EU.

How Roderic blends therapy approaches for online care
Roderic works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replacing them with practical coping strategies. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, sleeping problems, low mood and the behaviours that feed addictions.He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and past experiences that shape current reactions. This approach can help people understand why certain issues keep returning and how to make different choices going forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Roderic works collaboratively with each person to choose which methods to use and adapts his style to match the individual’s goals, preferences and needs. That might mean more skills-based CBT work for immediate symptom relief or deeper psychodynamic conversations for longer-term change.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time, allowing check-ins during breaks, or removing the need to be on camera when that is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can offer this flexibility while keeping sessions focused on practical progress and understanding.
