About Lynfa

Lynfa Wharam is a warm and practical counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, depression and addiction concerns. She offers straightforward support for those coping with trauma, grief, eating and parenting challenges, career changes, ADHD and other life transitions. Lynfa uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to make it easy to talk about difficult topics.

Her background includes 20 years working in international law firms in London and Essex, and she now practises in the United Kingdom. Lynfa is qualified in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and holds the NCPS credential. She also trained as a psychosexual therapist and addresses sexual-health concerns alongside relationship and intimacy topics.

In sessions she draws on ideas from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, Jungian perspectives and mindfulness. She adapts these approaches to fit what each person needs rather than following one fixed method. This means practical tools, reflection and guided exercises are used as helpful.

Lynfa describes herself as easy to talk to and open-minded. Her prior work supporting NHS and care-home staff during the pandemic is part of her experience offering mental-health support in stressful situations.

People often come to her to talk through commitment or trust issues, attachment and abandonment worries, sexual concerns including kink or alternative sex culture, parenting strain and the fallout of separation or domestic violence. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and practical next steps.

How Lynfa uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful for building self-esteem, clarity and confidence in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves spotting thought and behaviour patterns that make problems worse and practising new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping skills for life changes.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help access thoughts and feelings that can support change. People sometimes use it for anxiety, habits and for working with emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try different methods where helpful and agree on practical steps. This is a collaborative process that adapts as needs and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make therapy fit into a busy life by reducing travel and helping people book appointments more easily around work, childcare and daily routines. They also let people choose quieter or shorter check-ins when that suits them.
