Lynfa Wharam, NCPS

Lynfa Wharam brings a practical, open-minded approach to therapy, combining professional training with a long personal history of supporting others. She is easy to talk to and draws on a wide range of life and work experiences to empathise with clients and meet them where they are.

Before moving into therapy, Lynfa spent 20 years working for international law firms in London and Essex, experience that contributed to her pragmatic problem-solving style. She is qualified in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and holds the NCPS credential, a recognised qualification for counselling and psychotherapeutic practitioners. Her practice is integrative, which means she adapts techniques from different therapeutic approaches to suit each client rather than using a single method for everyone.

Lynfa is also a qualified psychosexual therapist and works with individuals and couples on a range of sexual health and relationship concerns, including abusive relationships, extra-marital affairs, and physical or emotional difficulties that affect intimacy such as frigidity and premature ejaculation. She addresses issues around commitment, trust, communication, and compromise, and supports people through stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, career changes, and attachment or abandonment concerns.

At the start of the pandemic she volunteered as a mental health practitioner with Project5, offering support to NHS workers and care home staff. Based in the United Kingdom, Lynfa accepts international clients and aims to work collaboratively to find practical, compassionate pathways forward. She looks forward to meeting prospective clients and exploring the right approach for their needs.

Approaches and Online Support for Relationship and Wellbeing

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance, allowing clients to explore their feelings at their own pace and build self-understanding; it is well suited to relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related difficulties. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access deeper mental resources and may help with habit change, stress reduction, and certain psychosomatic or behavioural issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lynfa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her integrative practice based on how clients respond, combining elements from different approaches when that best supports progress.

Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when circumstances change, and connect with a therapist from different locations while still receiving structured, goal-oriented support.
