Lynfa Wharam, NCPS

Counsellor Lynfa Wharam is a UK-based practitioner with seven years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and eating concerns. She also helps with parenting, career questions, ADHD and coping with life changes. Lynfa holds NCPS as a listed credential.

Lynfa writes plainly and draws on a varied background outside therapy. She spent many years working in the law with international firms in London and Essex. That experience shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on clear discussion of problems and straightforward ways to move forward.

Her approach mixes client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She also uses hypnotherapy and elements of Jungian and psychodynamic thinking when these fit a client's needs. This lets her adapt methods as people progress through sessions.

Lynfa has training in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy. She also describes herself as a psychosexual therapist and offers work on sexual health and sexual relationship issues to individuals and couples. She volunteered as a mental health practitioner during the pandemic to support NHS and care-home workers.

In conversation she aims to be open-minded and practical. Sessions are described as easy to talk in and based on the client's immediate concerns. People are invited to start by explaining what they want to change and then plan the next steps together.
