About Lynfa

Lynfa Wharam (who often goes by Lyn) helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and trauma. She also supports those coping with grief, eating and food-related issues, parenting strains, career change, ADHD and life transitions. Lynfa lists work on attachment, abandonment, communication and commitment concerns, plus areas related to kink and alternative sexual culture.

Lynfa brings a practical and down-to-earth style to sessions. She writes that she is easy to talk to and uses life experience to empathise with clients. Conversations aim to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change.

Her background includes two decades in law with international firms in London and Essex. She trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and holds the NCPS credential. Lynfa also practises psychosexual therapy, which covers sexual health issues and relationship problems such as trust and communication.

In sessions she describes an integrative approach, mixing methods to suit each person rather than using only one model. That means she may draw on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, Jungian thinking or mindfulness tools as needed. The emphasis is on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Lynfa volunteered supporting NHS and care-home staff at the start of the pandemic. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To arrange a first meeting, prospective clients follow the site process to match and book an appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple exercises to try between sessions; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to address habits, phobias or strong emotional responses and is sometimes paired with other approaches.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together what to try first based on needs, goals and personal preference. That collaborative process can change over time as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life. It can reduce travel time, make shorter check-ins easier to schedule and allow sessions from different locations when that helps a person keep therapy consistent.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
