Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Roderic uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic work as core approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with more helpful alternatives; it often helps with anxiety, mood problems and sleep difficulties. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and repeated patterns influence current feelings and choices, which can be useful for understanding grief, attachment and recurring relationship issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roderic will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest ways of working together. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasise practical skills, reflective exploration or a mix of both.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still maintaining continuity of care.
