Lynfa Wharam

Lynfa Wharam is a NCPS psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting and career concerns, and questions about life purpose. Lynfa also works with people facing trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, ADHD and coping with big life changes.

Her background includes two decades working in international law firms in London and Essex. That practical workplace experience shapes the way she talks with people about real-life problems. She trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and also holds a qualification in psychosexual therapy.

Lynfa uses an integrative approach, drawing on methods such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, Jungian perspectives and hypnotherapy. Sessions focus on straightforward conversation, identifying what matters now, and trying different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress.

She is comfortable discussing sexual health and intimacy topics, including issues linked to abusive relationships, affairs, communication, trust and sexual function. Her psychosexual work is offered to individuals and couples as stated in her biography.

Lynfa has volunteered as a mental health practitioner providing support to NHS workers and care-home staff during the pandemic. To begin, she asks people to use the online matching process and schedule a first session so they can talk about immediate concerns and plan next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Client-centred work puts the person's concerns at the heart of the conversation and helps people say what matters most to them. It suits someone who needs a calm space to talk through choices, doubts and relationships.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It is practical for anxiety, low mood, addictive patterns and for testing out small changes in day-to-day life.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift habits, manage stress and address some emotional issues. It can be offered alongside conversational approaches when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims, preferences and options with the client and try different methods to find what fits best. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist at the first meeting about what practical arrangements will work best for scheduling and for the type of work you want to do.
