He draws on nine years of counselling experience and a long professional background in corporate leadership to relate to workplace and life stresses.
Roderic uses short, clear conversations alongside reflective work. He listens closely to what matters and then helps people try new responses.
How Roderic works
Sessions balance emotional understanding with hands-on strategies for daily life. People come to him for a range of worries. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleeping problems, anger, addictions, self-esteem and relationship concerns.
He also works with issues such as parenting, fatherhood, blended family questions, ageing and geriatric issues, and end-of-life and hospice counselling. He pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes and supports people facing midlife crises, money worries, panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts and social anxiety.
He also offers help around process addictions such as gambling, exercise or pornography and around life purpose and men’s issues. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Roderic commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic attacks, sleeping problems and mood difficulties because it gives clear, practical steps to try.He also draws on psychodynamic therapy, which looks at recurring patterns and the past to make sense of present feelings and relationships. This approach can help when attachment, abandonment or long-standing family themes are causing distress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to agree what feels most helpful, adapting methods as needs and goals change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work and family commitments and to continue care from different locations.
