Lynfa Wharam, NCPS

Lynfa Wharam is a calm, practical counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with family conflict, grief, eating and parenting concerns, career challenges and major life changes. Lynfa uses clear, straightforward language and aims to make conversations easy to follow for someone in a stressful moment.

Lynfa trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy, and holds NCPS as a credential. She spent 20 years working in international law firms in London and Essex before moving into counselling work. That background shaped her practical style and attention to real-world problems.

Her approach is integrative, which means she draws on several methods to suit each person’s needs. She commonly uses client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness alongside hypnotherapy and Jungian thinking when helpful. Sessions focus on identifying patterns of thought and everyday habits that get in the way, then testing small, manageable changes.

She has seven years of experience in counselling. During the pandemic she volunteered with Project5 to support NHS staff and care-home workers. That work added further experience of short-term crisis support alongside longer-term therapy.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to what the person needs. People who want practical steps and clearer thinking about relationships, intimacy, parenting, or coping strategies often find her style straightforward and useful.

Approaches you may meet in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. The counsellor offers active listening, reflection and support while the person leads the direction of change; this suits issues like low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behaviour. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build different daily routines, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to work with patterns of thought and habit. It may be offered alongside talking therapies to support changes such as reducing anxiety or shifting habitual responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it reduces travel time, allows shorter check-ins during a busy day and can be easier when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals provide remote therapy and can help weigh up which arrangement fits best for scheduling and personal needs.
