About Lynfa

Lynfa uses a direct, open approach and aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
How Lynfa works
Lynfa trained in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy and holds the NCPS credential. She practises an integrative style, drawing on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural approaches, Jungian ideas and mindfulness to suit each person. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs most that week.
Before counselling, Lynfa spent two decades working in international law firms in London and Essex. That background gave her practical problem-solving skills and experience with high-pressure environments. During the pandemic she volunteered with Project5 to support NHS staff and care-home workers.
In sessions she listens closely, asks plain questions and offers exercises people can try between meetings. Methods may include talking through patterns, simple mindfulness practices, practical reframes from cognitive work, or guided hypnotherapy where appropriate. The aim is to build clearer ways to cope and healthier routines.
Work is collaborative and paced to the individual. Lynfa accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support options
How Lynfa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what the client says to help them find their own solutions; this is helpful for stress, self-esteem and relationship issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour. Sessions often include simple experiments and practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns, which suit anxiety, depression and many everyday problems.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access different ways of thinking about habits, trauma or pain. It can be paired with talking therapies to support behaviour change or reduce arousal linked to anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual tools, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support people who prefer typing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and maintain continuity when life is busy.
