Lynfa Wharam, NCPS

Lynfa Wharam welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships and intimacy concerns. She helps with self-esteem, addictions, grief, eating and career pressures. Lynfa also supports those coping with life changes, ADHD and parenting challenges.

Lynfa is known as Lyn to many clients. She spent 20 years working in international law firms in London and Essex before retraining in psychotherapy. Her credential is NCPS, which is listed as part of her qualifications.

She uses an integrative approach and draws on several methods to match each person’s needs. That means sessions can include client-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices and elements of hypnotherapy or Jungian work when appropriate.

Her background includes work as a psychosexual therapist, addressing sexual health concerns and relationship difficulties such as trust, commitment and communication. She has experience supporting people through abusive relationships and separation issues, and she has volunteered offering mental health support to healthcare staff during the pandemic.

In sessions Lynfa aims for practical, down-to-earth conversation. She will listen, offer tools you can try between appointments and help you set realistic goals. People who prefer a straightforward and experienced counsellor may find this a good fit.

How Lynfa’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a supportive, non-judgemental conversation where the person leads the pace; it helps when you need someone to listen and reflect back what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stressful thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lynfa will talk with each person about their choices and test what helps. She tailors methods to your goals and preferences and adjusts as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people attend from different locations, which can make continuity simpler for those who travel or live abroad. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often adapt exercises such as CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices and conversational hypnotherapy to work well within remote sessions.
