Mrs Jackie Lyons

Clinical Psychologist

“I am experienced in helping clients find and eliminate the causes of deep seated problems eg fears anxiety depression stress”

About Me

I help clients understand and address the underlying reasons for long-standing fears, anxiety, and depression. When stress feels overwhelming, we can explore what's truly driving it, beyond just managing symptoms. Together, we'll uncover these deep-seated patterns, helping you find lasting relief. This collaborative approach is ideal for those seeking to resolve core issues and move towards a more settled future.

Approach

To resolve entrenched fears and low mood I guide sessions that combine calm curiosity with targeted experiential work, helping you surface what keeps those responses repeating and practice different, safer ways of responding in-session. In Johannesburg and through English online appointments we move at a measured pace, alternating reflective dialogue with focused techniques and brief between-session tasks when helpful. Therapy may include gentle trance-based exercises and psychodynamic reflection, always tailored to your readiness and tolerance. Those facing addiction, burnout or major transitions often find this steady, practical approach clarifying and stabilising.
