About Lynfa

Lynfa Wharam is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues among the concerns she supports. She also works with self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and parenting issues, career matters, ADHD and related struggles.

Lynfa trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and uses an integrative approach. That means she draws on different methods as needed rather than following a single model. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on what helps day to day.

Her background includes two decades working in international law firms in London and Essex. That professional experience shaped her practical problem-solving style and familiarity with pressured environments. During the pandemic she volunteered as a mental health practitioner supporting healthcare and care-home staff through Project5.

She also practises psychosexual therapy and addresses sexual health topics alongside relationship concerns. That work covers issues such as trust, communication, commitment, and the sexual problems listed in the original biography. When couples work is needed she offers it as stated in the source biography.

Lynfa uses methods such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, Jungian ideas and mindfulness approaches. She aims to help people talk through immediate difficulties and build practical ways to cope and make changes over time.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says, helping them feel understood and clearer about their own choices. It can suit people who want a conversational, non-directive space to talk through worries and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxious patterns. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety and some mood problems because it gives concrete strategies to try between sessions.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to work on particular habits or emotional responses. Some people find it helpful for managing anxiety, certain eating issues or habit-related problems.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to fit what the client wants and needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to attend from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals often offer remote sessions to make therapy more practical for everyday schedules.
