Lixson Cyriac

Lixson Cyriac is a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist based in London. He trained at Birkbeck College (University of London) and the University of East London and went on to spend several years working with a respected counselling foundation accredited with BACP as a counsellor and assessor.

He is currently a member of the counselling team at HCC, Marlybebone and has experience providing student counselling at Birkbeck College, Westminster University and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. His primary approach is psychodynamic therapy rooted in the psychoanalytic tradition, which explores how past experiences may relate to present difficulties and how early patterns shape coping mechanisms and ways of experiencing the world. Much of this psychological material often remains outside conscious awareness.

In addition to psychodynamic work, he has been trained in CBT techniques and is accredited with APT (Association for psychological therapies). He tends to work collaboratively with clients to determine which approach is most suitable for a given concern, taking into account the presenting issues and the expected duration of sessions.

Therapy with Lixson offers a non-judgmental, reflective space to examine past and present experiences, identify fears, anxieties and mood variations, and consider whether past responses continue to serve a person well. Outside his counselling practice, he has many years of experience providing pastoral and spiritual care in settings such as hospitals, care homes, schools and rehabilitation services for people who are homeless, and some clients bring these matters into therapy for exploration.
