About Lynfa
Lynfa Wharam offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem problems, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, parenting strain, career uncertainty, ADHD and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, commitment and communication problems, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and concerns related to BDSM and alternative sexual culture.
Lynfa is approachable and practical in her manner and aims to make conversations feel calm and straightforward.
Background and approach
Lynfa trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and holds the NCPS credential. She draws on seven years of counselling experience alongside earlier work in international law firms in London and Essex. That earlier career informs her straightforward, no-nonsense style and ability to understand stressful life transitions.
Her way of working is integrative. She uses client-centred techniques alongside cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, Jungian perspectives and hypnotherapy as they suit the person in front of her. Sessions tend to be collaborative and grounded in practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
Lynfa also offers psychosexual therapy addressing sexual health matters and related relationship difficulties. She helps people talk through sensitive topics, understand patterns, and consider changes that support intimacy and communication. During the pandemic she volunteered as a mental health practitioner supporting NHS and care-home staff with Project5.
Her practice welcomes people in the United Kingdom and from overseas, and sessions are conducted in English.

How Lynfa works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and straightforward tasks to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or low mood.
Hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habits, stress and some emotional patterns. It is used alongside talking therapies to support behavioural change when appropriate.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will try approaches that match those aims. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter arrangement during a work break.
