About Lynfa
Lynfa Wharam is a warm, practical counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She meets people where they are and aims to make talking about hard things feel straightforward and manageable. Lynfa uses everyday language and a calm manner to help clients feel heard and understood.
Her background includes 20 years working in international law firms in London and Essex before training in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy.
Background and approach
She holds NCPS as a credential and also trained in psychosexual therapy, which covers sexual health and relationship issues including trust, communication and intimacy problems. Lynfa draws on her life experience and previous professional roles to empathise with clients. In sessions she blends approaches rather than relying on a single model.
She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people manage worries and change unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas are included where they suit a person’s needs. Lynfa has been practising for seven years and volunteered to support NHS and care-home staff during the pandemic.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for flexible access. Sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. People who want practical tools alongside reflective discussion may find her approach helpful.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to fit their timetable.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so a person can talk through issues and find their own solutions; this helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns, which can be done between sessions and reviewed online.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access helpful resources in a person’s imagination; it can support coping with stress, habits and some emotional symptoms when combined with talking therapy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and then try methods that match the client’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are close to face-to-face and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins, short reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make continued progress easier to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.
