ABOUT

Dr Geoff Lyons

PhD (Clin Psych), BSc (Hon), Dip (Clin Hyp & NLP)

I believe human beings are spiritual as well as psychological and physical. When we become disconnected from meaning, purpose and our deeper spiritual nature, suffering follows. For this reason, I see mental health as more than symptom management. Lasting change requires a holistic approach that takes spirituality seriously while remaining grounded and sensible. For this reason, I'm passionate about working with people who want to restore balance through counselling and spiritual energetic work.

ABOUT DR GEOFF LYONS

My Approach

I work with thoughtful, grounded people who are open to a broader view of healing. Many of my clients want to talk through their problems with an experienced therapist, while also being interested in areas such as spirituality, energetics, breathwork, and deeper or non-ordinary states of consciousness, while still valuing psychological insight, counselling, and real-world functioning.

Some people I work with have become disillusioned with mainstream systems, including aspects of modern medicine and mental health care. They are not looking to reject them outright, but they are seeking a space where questioning, critical thinking, and independent exploration are respected rather than shut down.

Others come to me after trying traditional counselling or psychology and finding it limited. They often value but want more than standard talk therapy offers. They are looking for a deeper process that integrates evidence-based psychological approaches with intuitive, energetic, and spiritually informed work.

At the same time, this is not vague or ungrounded healing. I place strong value on clear thinking, emotional processing, and therapeutic structure. My background in counselling, clinical psychology and research means I draw on established therapeutic models, empirical literature, and, where appropriate, data-informed approaches to support your progress.

My approach is primarily grounded in shamanic and spiritual healing. I do have a background in counselling and clinical psychology; however, I am not a registered clinical psychologist and no longer provide clinical psychology services. I have consciously moved beyond a purely conventional model of therapy to do my healing work. 

Sessions are not standard talk therapy dressed up as “spiritual” work. This is not about adding a few mindfulness techniques or talking about values and calling it depth. The core of the work is spiritual healing. It is energetic and intuitive in nature, with counselling used to support integration, insight, and practical change where needed.

For those who are open to it, sessions may include energy clearing, intuitive guidance, and meditation practices aimed at strengthening your connection with something greater than yourself, whether you understand that as Spirit, God, Higher Self, or a deeper aspect of your own being.

This work is not for everyone. If you’re looking for strictly conventional therapy, or if this approach feels too far outside your comfort zone, then I’m not the right fit for you.

But if you are looking for something that is both grounded in established counselling and psychology approaches and open to deeper dimensions of healing, something that is structured and intuitive, practical and spiritual, then we will likely work well together.

If that resonates, you’re welcome to get in touch to arrange a session.

Who I Work With

Many of the people I work with are navigating challenges such as stress, burnout, cancer, auto-immune conditions, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, or addiction. Others come to this work during periods of significant change, including spiritual awakening, shifts in identity, or leaving high-control environments, including cults. And some come in just for routine healing sessions as a form of energetic self-care: to clear their head and harmonise their energy.

Additionally, I do often support individuals who feel disillusioned or traumatically impacted by their experiences within mainstream systems, and this includes the professionals such as psychologists, doctors, and other health practitioners.

My work is for people who are open to a spiritual or energetic understanding of healing. I work with individuals from a range of spiritual and religious backgrounds. However, my approach is not a good fit for those who are opposed to spirituality (a little scepticism is natural, healthy and welcome) or just want standard counselling alone. I also don’t work with people under the age of 21 years old.

I do not provide services such as house clearing or exorcism-type work, but I can refer to trusted practitioners where appropriate. I also do not do psychic readings, but intuitive information does come through during sessions, often in the form of metaphors and energetic impressions.

I work with men, women, and people of all genders. That said, I have a particular interest in working with men, because there are relatively few practitioners offering holistic services for males.

I have worked with people of many sexualities over the years. While this is not a specific area of specialisation, I am comfortable and open in working with clients across a wide range of identities and experiences.
