Lynfa Wharam

Lynfa Wharam is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy difficulties. She also supports clients facing self-esteem struggles, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges such as parenting, career changes and ADHD. Lynfa uses a warm, down-to-earth style that aims to make talking feel straightforward and non-judgemental.

Her background includes two decades working in international law firms in London and Essex before moving into counselling. She holds a qualification in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy, and is listed with NCPS. Lynfa also practises psychosexual therapy, which covers sexual health and relationship concerns, and she offers this work to individuals and couples.

Lynfa takes an integrative approach. That means she draws on different methods to meet the needs of each person. She commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural work, hypnotherapy, Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices.

Her manner is practical and open-minded. Sessions focus on listening, building understanding and finding ways forward that fit each person’s life. Lynfa volunteered early in the pandemic providing mental health support to NHS staff and care workers, and she brings that experience into how she supports people under pressure.

People can expect clear, simple conversation about what matters to them. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual, with attention to both immediate coping and longer-term change.
