Lynfa Wharam , NCPS

Lynfa Wharam is a warm, practical counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, eating and parenting concerns, and people adjusting to life changes. Lynfa works with ADHD-related challenges and offers coaching alongside therapy to help people move forward.

She prefers a straightforward, down-to-earth style. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the client. She draws on many life experiences and a background in law to offer empathy and practical perspective.

Lynfa trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and holds the NCPS credential. She uses an integrative approach, blending methods to meet each person’s needs as they evolve through therapy. This might mean combining client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques or mindfulness practices.

Her previous career was in international law firms in London and Essex, where she worked for 20 years before moving into counselling. During the pandemic she volunteered as a mental health practitioner supporting NHS and care home staff through Project5.

She is able to work with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches you can expect in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and non-judgemental attention, which helps people feel heard and understand their own choices. This approach is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It teaches practical skills to change thought patterns and behaviour, which can ease anxiety, low mood and some eating or addictive behaviours.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access different ways of thinking about problems. It can support work on stress, habits and some relationship or intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and decide together which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made, and the approach is adapted to what works best.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of formats. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact and can fit around busy schedules. These options help people access therapy from wherever they are and at times that suit them.
