About Lynfa

Lynfa Wharam is a warm and practical counsellor who focuses on pregnancy and childbirth-related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and more. She writes plainly and listens carefully so people can talk through what matters. Her style is open and empathetic, and she aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.

She trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and holds the NCPS credential. Lynfa draws on those foundations while mixing approaches to match each person’s needs. She also has training in psychosexual therapy and can help with sexual health and intimacy-related difficulties.

Before moving into counselling she worked in international law firms in London and Essex for 20 years. That background shaped her practical problem-solving style and ability to work with people from varied backgrounds. During the pandemic she volunteered as a mental health practitioner supporting NHS and care-home staff.

Lynfa describes her approach as integrative. That means she blends methods such as Client-Centred work, cognitive techniques, mindfulness and hypnotherapy depending on the situation. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, coping strategies and improving communication around difficult topics.

People who come to her often want help with grief, trauma, addictions, eating and body issues, parenting pressures, or life changes such as separation and career shifts. She also supports those dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, commitment and control issues, and concerns related to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture.

Lynfa works in English and accepts international clients. If you want to explore whether she might be a good fit, it helps to prepare a few priorities to discuss at your first session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lynfa uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a supportive space where people talk about what matters most to them and set their own goals. This approach helps with emotional support, confidence and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies that people can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lynfa collaborates with each person to decide what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. She may blend methods and review progress together so the plan changes if it needs to.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and offer quicker access across regions. They also allow for quieter check-ins, shorter focused sessions and continuing work when moving between locations. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor their methods to an online setting to keep sessions practical and focused on real-life goals.
