Hi, I'm Roderick — a Clinical Psychologist offering evidence-based therapy tailored to each person. I help clients understand the patterns keeping them stuck, regulate difficult emotions, and develop practical strategies for change that lasts beyond the therapy room.
The word agile reflects how I practise. People arrive with different stories, pressures, and patterns, so the therapy has to move with them. I draw on CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, ACT, family systems, and trauma-informed care — choosing what actually fits, rather than applying a template.
You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. We'll work through it together.
