More about Roderic

  • 5 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I worked in the corporate travel world for over 25 years, before realising that I really wanted a more rewarding role in life. Thats when I became a counsellor.

I am also a parent, which also changed my life completely and gave me a new view of the World around us.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, workplace issues and bereavement. I offer a safe space for you to talk, explore and be heard.

My Qualifications

Degree- Psychodynamic Counselling and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Certificate of Higher Education - Psychodynamic Counselling and Organisational Dynamics

Certificate of Higher Education - Counselling and Counselling Skills

I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), this means I am regulated and adhere to a strict code of ethics.

I strive to always be curious and hopeful, I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is to work collaboratively with the person before me to find what will work best for them. I trained in cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic counselling and have experience of working for a bereavement charity in central London and also for a GP's surgery.

It takes real strength to reach out and ask for help, I find working with my clients a real honour and privilege and together we can start to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I've only had a few message interactions with Roderic so far but he is very responsive and offers considered and appropriate responses that have made me reconsider some of my thoughts and behaviours. I look forward to working with Roderic more in the future.

Reviewed April 2024

I've had several sessions with Rod now and find him to be extremely considerate and respectful, while offering a lot of resources and knowing what to say to help me get the most out of the time we have together. Having discussed the fringe details of my experience with a friend who has had a lot of therapy, her immediate response was "oh, so he's good good then", which backed up my own thoughts. I have no other experience to compare it to, but I would have no issue recommending Rod to anyone.
