Philippa Lyons

I'm a UK qualified psychologist and psychotherapist. I work with people who feel stuck — whether you're considering a big change (a move, career shift, relationship decision), already navigating one, or you sense something needs to shift but aren't sure how or where to start. I've changed careers and lived abroad, experiences that taught me how significant transitions touch every part of who we are. I work particularly with expats, career-changers, and anyone wanting to navigate their life differently — on their own terms, especially if you need help working on those terms. 

My approach is non-diagnostic and collaborative. Rather than applying labels, I'm genuinely interested in understanding your experience from your perspective. You're the expert on your own life; my role is to help you access that expertise more fully.

Therapy with me is a space to explore what's really going on beneath the surface — the patterns, relationships, and responsibilities that shape how you're moving through life. Together, we develop your deep self-knowledge. This helps you find authentic solutions for your next step. It also builds resilience that helps you navigate life with confidence whatever it brings.

Connection matters. Research shows the quality of the relationship between client and therapist is the strongest predictor of change. I offer a non-judgmental, confidential space where you can be authentic and work at your own pace. My first free consultation is a chance to check if we're a good fit.

I offer a free, short initial consultation session to check out if we’re a good-match for working together.
