About Lynfa
Lynfa Wharam introduces herself simply as Lynfa, though she is happy to be called Lyn. She is a practical and open-minded counsellor who aims to make conversation feel easy. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she draws on many life experiences to relate to people who come for help.
She spent twenty years working in law for international firms in London and Essex before becoming a counsellor. That background shaped her calm, steady manner and her focus on clear steps people can take.
Background and approach
Lynfa holds NCPS as a credential and has seven years' experience in therapeutic work. Her practice uses an integrative approach. That means she mixes methods such as hypnotherapy, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, Jungian ideas and mindfulness to suit each person's needs.
Sessions are practical and tailored to the issues raised, from stress and anxiety to relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Lynfa also works with sexual health and psychosexual issues, addressing problems such as trust, communication, commitment and the physical or emotional aspects that affect intimacy. She helped NHS and care-home staff during the pandemic as a volunteer mental health practitioner.
People come to Lynfa for many reasons - depression, grief, addiction, parenting strain, eating and body concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, career changes, and coping with life transitions. She aims to find clear ways forward, using approaches that suit the person and their situation.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Hypnotherapy uses focused relaxation and guided imagery to help people change habits, manage anxiety and address specific issues. It can be helpful for stress, some addictions and certain patterns of thinking or behaviour.Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects what the person says and helps them find their own solutions, which can suit work on self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and strategies to reduce anxiety, tackle unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for depression or stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and together they decide which methods to use. This way the plan can change as the person makes progress or faces new issues.
Online formats offer a lot of flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and work through longer discussions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and daily life.
