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.

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.

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.
