About Lynfa

Lynfa Wharam is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and grief. She also supports people with eating concerns, parenting strains, career worries, ADHD and the practical fallout of life changes. Lynfa uses plain, everyday language and aims to make talking feel easy and straightforward.

She brings seven years of therapeutic experience and a long professional background in law. That earlier work with international law firms in London and Essex shaped her practical approach and ability to listen without judgement. Her listed credential is NCPS, which is shown as provided.

Lynfa works in an integrative way, drawing on several approaches rather than using only one method. She includes client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy, Jungian ideas and mindfulness depending on what a person needs. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and clearer understanding of patterns that cause distress.

Her practice addresses specific concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant personality features, commitment and communication problems, blended family matters, fatherhood questions and caregiver stress. She also notes work with BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, and with recovery from domestic violence and abusive relationships.

She previously volunteered providing mental health support for NHS staff and care-home workers during the pandemic. To start, readers are asked to use the platform Start Therapy path and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers, which helps with low self-esteem, stress and relationship problems.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood and tackle addictive patterns.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to work with habits, pain, stress and some eating concerns. It is presented as a tool alongside talking therapies rather than a standalone cure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on needs, goals and personal preference. This is a collaborative process where plans can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel and allow for shorter check-ins on the phone if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to help people keep therapy going around their everyday life.
