About Roderic
Roderic listens with empathy but keeps sessions focused. He helps people make sense of grief, work stress, high-functioning anxiety and difficult life transitions. Practical tools are offered alongside exploration of how past experiences shape current reactions.
He draws on nine years of counselling experience and previous corporate leadership experience to connect with clients facing workplace pressure. This background informs a pragmatic style that values clear goals and manageable steps. Sessions are collaborative and respect each person’s values.
People come for help with low mood, self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger and addictions, and for guidance around parenting, fatherhood and blended family issues. He also supports those dealing with ageing and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, and questions of life purpose.
Roderic uses psychodynamic work to look at underlying attachments and long-standing patterns, and cognitive behavioural techniques to teach practical coping skills. He can work with panic, social anxiety, seasonal affective disorder and process addictions such as gambling or problematic exercise. Therapy is offered in English and delivered via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Translate Online
Psychodynamic work looks at how early relationships and past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours; online sessions use conversation to gently uncover those recurring patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising small, practical changes to improve mood and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide whether more insight-focused work, practical CBT strategies, or a blend of both will suit you best. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments and to maintain continuity of care across weeks or months.
