About me

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 individuals 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.

I have only had 1 session so far with Lyn and am looking forward to many more i'm sure! Lyn was super understanding & helped me reach an outcome / clear next steps to a tricky situation that I hadn't thought of prior to our conversation. Very grateful.

Lyn is a wonderful therapist who clearly loves her work. She listens and offers advice and support in ways that really help me make the progress I’m after. Thanks for your support on my life journey!

Lyn is great in all aspects really! She’s a great listener, she is flexible and she knows exactly how to guide me the right way. I love having the sessions with her and it feels like I’m talking to a friend. I love all the support she provides and she goes out of her way to send links to articles/videos and other supportive ideas she thinks may be useful. Overall I’m having a great experience!

Lyn has been great over the many years that I have known her. I have had to dip in and out of help due to different life events and she remembers everything from when I saw her the last time round, so it's more like talking to a friend than a therapist. Lyn gives sound advice and is very supportive.
