More about Lynfa

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • NCPS

Hi my name is Lynfa but you can call me Lyn if you would prefer.

I am very open-minded, practical woman and have spent a life time helping others. I am very easy to talk to and have had many life experiences which I can use to empathise with you. .

My previous background is the law, having worked for international law firms in London and Essex for 20 years and am based in the UK..

I am qualified in psychotherapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy, and use an integrative approach to counselling, which means that rather than using just one specific type of counselling i.e. Person Centred Counselling, etc. I like to use a wide range of therapies to help the client with their individual needs as they progress through their sessions.

I am also a qualified psychosexual therapist which covers all aspects of sexual health as well as dealing with subjects such as abusive relationships, extra-marital affairs, physical and emotional problems affecting couples such as frigidity and premature ejaculation, commitment, trust, communication and compromise. I offer this therapy to individual and/or couples.

At the start of the pandemic, I offered my services as a volunteer mental health practitioner to Project5; an organisation specifically set up to offer mental health support to NHS workers and those working in care homes.

I look forward to seeing you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Lydia was a great listener and offered a helpful perspective. She was very down to earth and easy to talk to. Our sessions felt relaxed and productive. She provided really useful resources I could learn from and put to practical use. She was responsive to messages. She was very flexible and did an amazing job at working out session schedule even though there was a significant time difference to factor in. I would definitely recommend her as a therapist.

Lyn is giving me a lot of support and techniques to take care of my mental health. I find it really helpful that she explains how they work on the brain and subconscious because it reinforces their effectiveness.

Before speaking to Lyn my mentality was a mess and could not stop overthinking about the past and worrying about the future. She helped me rationalise my thoughts and supported me through various issues. For the first time in a long time I feel ready to go out into the world after spending years wasting away in my bedroom.

Lyn has been the most wonderful thing that has happened to me. I decided to take this step after mich deliberation and was instantly matched with Lyn and she surpassed my expectations. She is respectfully, open-minded and really eager to help and working with her has helped me. You will not regret having her as your therapist as she has a tremendous expirience and such compassion what was super important to me.

I've felt a tangible difference in my life from the advice Lyn has given me to help with motivation and having a more positive mindset. She has given me very practical tips and realistic viewpoints on how to frame situations, from my work/school life to my romantic and platonic relationships. I am still a work in progress but the tools she has given have put me in a much better place to deal with my emotions and behaviour. Having Lyn as my therapist has been a pleasure!

Having counselling with Lyn was a very positive experience for me. I found her to be caring and supportive. She gave me a safe space where I was able to share some difficult aspects of my life and my past. I was able to trust her and process some challenging emotions and loss that I had been holding onto. I experienced some healing in only a few sessions and have been able to move on now with that part of her life for which I am very grateful.

I found Lyn to be extremely helpful on many things. She gave me tools and techniques to work through marriage issues.

Lyn has provided me with a huge amount of support and guidance over the last few months. She has helped me put boundaries in place to ensure I am able to look after myself in the best possible way. I’ve always looked forward to our sessions, as I know Lyn will always reassure me and help me talk through my issues. I really appreciate everything she has done for me.

Reviewed January 2023

I worked with Lyn several months before and after separating with my former partner. I felt that I had a safe space to open up my feelings during our sessions; I felt vulnerable , I was lacking confidence and felt like everything collapsed and I was drained, but I had Lyn who helped me see patterns of behaviours I've never seen before , mine and others. I had regular and crisis sessions and I could contact Lyn regularly through the chat. I've got a clear image now of how I was , how I changed and how I would like to be, and through my counselling sessions with Lyn I felt that got my inner power back. My boundaries are back and I know that I deserve to be happy, which is a statement that the old me would not confidently say. Thank you, Lyn!

Lyn is fantastic, she helped me through a rough patch and allowed for me to just speak and she gave advice which helped me navigate what has been happening. She was available and replied quickly. I couldn’t have asked to be matched with a better person. Thank you Lyn. All the best, James

I needed to move on but I didn’t know how, I had questions that had unsure answers. Lyn helped me move on from my last relationship but not only that, being able to control my emotions whenever I started thinking back again. My question’s finally got answers and I feel like I can move on by myself now. Being able to talk with Lyn has helped me talk out to my friends too and actually share my feelings which is very hard to do but I’m no longer hiding my feelings, I don’t feel alone in this now. So a huge thanks to Lyn for reassuring me that she’s always here for me and for helping me control myself and move on

I've been working with Lynfa for a few weeks now and I feel so much better than when I started.

I was working with Lyn for a short time due to my time limitations and she was not only able to get to the source of the problem in very short time but also brought it to different level and gave me a broad vision onto it which helped to put it in perspective. The hypnosis is very helpful and effective and Lyn became in very short time a trusted companion on my side... almost a friendship-level of confidence. She is listening, motivating, empowering and really puts her head and heart into helping you. I will dearly miss our session and hope to connect with her in future again. I can highly recommend her! absolute sweetheart and professional!
