Meet Roddy Macdonald

I’m Roddy, and I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood and comfortable being yourself.

You won’t need to perform, impress, or pretend everything is fine. You can simply be yourself. I’ve spent more than 24 years working with people as a therapist, helping individuals and couples understand themselves and their relationships more deeply, supporting people through emotional difficulties, relationship challenges and times when life feels overwhelming. I care deeply about helping people understand themselves, build healthier relationships and feel more confident in the choices they make.

My approach is warm, creative and personal. I bring professional experience alongside an understanding of how complex life can be. Together, we can explore what lies beneath the surface, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to move forward.

My belief in counselling is personal as well as professional. Having experienced a difficult childhood, depression and the breakdown of 2 marriages, I know how hard it can be to find a way forward. Counselling helped me make sense of my experiences and change patterns that had stayed with me for years. That experience inspired me to become a psychotherapist.

I bring warmth, honesty and a down-to-earth approach to my work. I continue to develop my skills through ongoing training, but at the heart of what I do is a relationship built on trust, care and respect.
