Lixson Cyriac
Therapist focusing on past and present patterns
About Lixson
Lixson Cyriac uses psychodynamic therapy as his main way of working and draws on other methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy. He is a counsellor with eight years' experience and holds BACP registration. Lixson works from a place that looks at how earlier life experiences shape current feelings and patterns.
He explains how people develop coping habits and repeated ways of reacting to stress. Those patterns are often below conscious awareness.
Background and approach
In sessions he helps people notice these habits and understand how they were formed. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside psychodynamic ideas when a more practical, short-term method suits the issue. This can help with breathing down anxiety, changing unhelpful thoughts, and building new routines.
The choice of method is agreed with the person based on their needs. Lixson has worked in a range of settings including university counselling services and community foundations. He has provided pastoral and spiritual care in hospitals, care homes, schools, and services for people experiencing homelessness.
That background can inform conversations about belief, meaning and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Malayalam and Lixson accepts international clients. He supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and anger issues, self-esteem problems, career questions and bipolar disorder, among other areas.
He also works with hoarding, jealousy, multicultural concerns, phobias, prejudice and discrimination, self-harm and sexual assault and abuse. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability. Fees vary with location and the subscription used can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches online and how they help
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early experiences and repeated patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions give time to think through these links and notice recurring responses that cause distress.Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on practical ways to change thoughts and routines that fuel anxiety or low mood. In remote sessions CBT can include short exercises, thought records and planning small experiments between meetings to test new ways of coping.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree which methods suit a person's goals and the issues they bring. That decision can change over time as needs and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These options help people keep continuity of care around work, study or travel while using approaches such as psychodynamic work and CBT with registered or accredited professionals.
