Lynfa Wharam, NCPS

Lynfa Wharam is a warm, practical counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the dilemmas of midlife. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief and coping with life changes. Lynfa also supports people facing family and parenting strains, career uncertainty, ADHD-related challenges, and sexual health or intimacy questions. She prefers plain talk and straightforward steps in sessions.

Lynfa draws on seven years of counselling experience and a background in law, having worked for international law firms in London and Essex for 20 years. She holds NCPS and qualifications in psychotherapeutic counselling, hypnotherapy and psychosexual therapy. These inform a flexible, down-to-earth approach rather than a single method.

In practice she uses a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and hypnotherapy when helpful. Jungian and mindfulness-based ideas also appear when suitable. The goal is to match tools to a person’s needs, not to apply one fixed model.

Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect clear reflection, gentle challenge and exercises to try between meetings. Issues like attachment, abandonment, commitment and communication are addressed in simple, step-by-step ways.

Lynfa has provided volunteer mental health support to NHS staff and care-home workers during the pandemic. She works from the United Kingdom and offers her counselling in English. To begin, clients follow the site process to be matched and then arrange sessions according to availability.

Approaches for online therapy and choosing a fit

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space so people can find their own answers; it suits relationship worries, low self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical tasks to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to help with habits, stress and certain emotional issues when someone is open to that approach.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and will recommend or try different methods as things progress. That decision is collaborative and may change as the person learns what helps most.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and making it easier to attend from different locations. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work or family, and less travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact options available before booking so sessions match practical needs.
