About Lixson

Lixson Cyriac is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand how past experiences shape current worries. He uses a calm, curious style to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, grief and trauma-related issues. Lixson also supports people facing addictions, anger, eating difficulties, self-harm and identity or multicultural concerns.

He offers sessions in English and Malayalam and works with clients online by video, phone, chat or text.

Background and approach

He trained at Birkbeck College, University of London, and the University of East London and has eight years of practice experience. Much of his early work was with a counselling foundation linked to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, where he acted as counsellor and assessor.

He has worked in student counselling at Birkbeck College, Westminster University and Guildhall School of Music and Drama and is part of a counselling team at HCC, Marylebone. Lixson bases his practice in psychodynamic therapy, looking at how childhood and earlier relationships shape repeating patterns. He often explores what stays outside conscious awareness and how that affects mood and behaviour now.

He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside deeper reflection. Lixson works collaboratively to choose the approach that fits each person’s needs and the length of counselling required.

He also draws on years of pastoral and spiritual care experience when clients want to discuss those areas. Practical arrangements are straightforward. Therapy is delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.

Costs vary with location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. It helps people who want to understand why they repeat the same reactions or struggle with mood and intimacy.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying small changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression and practical problems where changing thinking patterns can help.

Lixson treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and will suggest psychodynamic work, CBT techniques or a mix depending on the issue and how long someone wants to work together. This helps tailor the work to what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access that work. Video calls allow a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, and they let people keep continuity of care even when they travel or move location.
