About Linda

Linda Boffo works on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem. She uses psychodynamic psychotherapeutic work to look at deep-seated patterns and past experiences that shape feelings and behaviour. Linda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of experience.

She offers a calm space to talk through difficult feelings and the situations that trigger them. Sessions focus on noticing repeated patterns in relationships and emotions. Linda helps people make sense of where those patterns come from and how they affect day-to-day life.

Her practice pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues and to family of origin problems. She also works with intimacy and sexual culture topics, including BDSM and kink, as well as body image and codependency concerns. Practical matters such as communication, commitment and control issues are included in the work.

Linda gives support for stressful life events such as divorce, separation, caregiving strain, domestic violence and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She explores feelings of emptiness and helps people address the emotional impact of those events.

Sessions can be conducted in English or Italian to suit the client. The approach is reflective and exploratory, aiming to increase understanding and help people make considered changes in how they relate to themselves and others.

To begin, clients follow the site process and schedule a first session after a brief matching questionnaire. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How psychodynamic work translates to online counselling

Psychodynamic work focuses on patterns in relationships and the way past experiences shape current feelings. In practice this means talking about memories, repeated reactions and the feelings that come up during the session. This approach can help with issues such as attachment problems, abandonment fears and ongoing relationship difficulties.

Another useful strand for her work is focusing on family of origin and communication problems. This involves looking at family roles and repeated interaction styles to understand how they influence adult relationships and self-image. Exploring intimacy-related concerns, including kink and BDSM topics, is handled by examining meanings, boundaries and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods to emphasise based on the clients goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That way the work stays relevant and focused on practical change as well as understanding.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The counsellor offers sessions in English and Italian, and practical arrangements are confirmed during booking.
