About Lynfa
Lynfa Wharam is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, parenting challenges, career change, ADHD and other life transitions. Lynfa also lists specific focuses such as abandonment, attachment issues, commitment worries and forgiveness.
Lynfa trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. She describes an integrative way of working, drawing on client-centred principles alongside cognitive and psychodynamic ideas when helpful. Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational so people can talk through what matters to them.
Her background includes two decades in international law firms in London and Essex. That experience shaped her practical approach to problem solving and communication. During the pandemic she volunteered as a mental health practitioner supporting NHS and care-home staff, which informs her awareness of stress and burnout.
In addition to counselling and hypnotherapy, Lynfa works with psychosexual issues and relationship topics such as trust and communication. She says she can work with individuals and with couples on sexual health concerns and relationship problems where applicable.
People can expect sessions that mix talking therapies with mindfulness, practical CBT-style tools and occasional hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate. Lynfa encourages collaboration about what methods to try and adjusts approaches as sessions progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's priorities. It helps when people need a calm place to talk through guilt or shame without direction from the counsellor. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and to test different responses in everyday life. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access thoughts and feelings in a different way; some people find it useful for habit change, stress or eating-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynfa will discuss options and decide together which methods to try based on the person's goals and what feels manageable. This collaborative process means approaches can shift as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life by cutting travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to choose audio-only if they prefer less visual focus, or video when they want face-to-face interaction. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to match practical session arrangements to a client's routine and needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.
