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.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.
