About Lynfa
Lynfa Wharam is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports people dealing with family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and career concerns, parenting pressures, ADHD and life changes. Lynfa uses clear, practical conversation to help clients find manageable steps forward.
She brings seven years of counselling experience and a long prior career in law working for international law firms in London and Essex.
Background and approach
That background shaped her direct and pragmatic style. She trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and holds the NCPS credential. Her approach is integrative.
That means she draws on several ways of working to suit each person rather than sticking to one method. Sessions often combine listening, reflective questions and practical exercises to build new habits and understanding.
Lynfa also works with issues around sexual health and intimacy as a psychosexual therapist, addressing topics such as trust, communication, commitment and the emotional and physical impacts on relationships. She offers individual and couple work for those concerns. During the pandemic she volunteered as a mental health practitioner supporting NHS and care-home staff through Project5.
She describes herself as open-minded, practical and easy to talk to, and aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Approaches for online counselling and practical support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the person uncover their own solutions; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and working through relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviours. It uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.
Hypnotherapy combines relaxation and guided attention to help change habits, manage anxiety and address issues like addictions or eating-related concerns. Sessions involve calm, structured guidance and practical suggestions tailored to the person's goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try techniques that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the approach stays aligned with their needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation and allow visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer not to use audio. Together these formats make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life.
