About Lixson
Lixson Cyriac is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic ideas alongside other approaches to help people understand recurring problems. He combines talk-based work with practical techniques to help people manage mood, anxiety and relationship difficulties. He speaks English and Malayalam and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He trained at Birkbeck College (University of London) and the University of East London and has eight years of practice experience.
Background and approach
He has worked in student counselling at colleges and conservatoires and with a counselling foundation that is linked to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He also offers pastoral and spiritual support experience from hospitals, care homes, schools and homelessness services. In sessions he often looks at how past experiences relate to current feelings and behaviours.
That psychodynamic perspective helps uncover patterns that operate beneath awareness. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, when people need clearer strategies to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Work is collaborative and tailored to the issue and how long someone plans to attend.
He can help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating difficulties, anger, self-harm, bipolar mood issues and other challenges such as hoarding, jealousy and phobias. People who bring multicultural or discrimination-related concerns can also discuss how those experiences affect wellbeing. Sessions aim to balance understanding life history with practical steps for coping and change.

Approaches Lixson lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues at hand and together decide which blend of psychodynamic reflection and CBT techniques fits best. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caring responsibilities. Video is useful for face-to-face-style dialogue, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a focused check-in, and text or live chat allow brief, timely reflections between longer meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
