About Lynfa
Lynfa Wharam is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and hypnotherapist with seven years' experience. She is registered with NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. Lynfa lists stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression and addictions among her core concerns, alongside parenting, family matters and coping with life changes.
She writes plainly and uses an integrative approach. That means she draws on different therapies rather than sticking to one method. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to patterns in relationships, communication and emotional responses.
Her background includes twenty years in the law, working for international firms in London and Essex. That experience shaped a pragmatic style and an ability to work with real-life pressures such as career stress and caregiving demands. During the pandemic she volunteered as a mental health practitioner supporting health and care staff.
Lynfa uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Jungian ideas, hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools depending on the issue. She can address intimacy and sexual-health topics, and lists work with relationship difficulties, commitment issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and blended family challenges.
In sessions she helps people talk through communication problems, grief, eating and food-related worries, and practical parenting strain. She also works with people on ADHD-related coping, career decisions and recovery from abuse or trauma.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The site uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to speak about relationship strain, parenting stress or self-esteem issues and feel heard.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to work on habits, stress responses and some mood or behavioural issues. It can be offered alongside talking therapy when a client and therapist agree it suits their goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and recommend a mix of methods. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household or workday and can reduce travel time. Talk-based and technique-driven work can be adapted to shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what helps with everyday life.
