Linda Boffo
Calm, reflective therapy for stress and relationships
About Linda
Linda Boffo helps people dealing with stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, and people struggling with self-esteem. Linda speaks English and Italian and works with concerns linked to family and family of origin problems.
She draws on psychodynamic ways of working to look at long-standing patterns. That means she pays attention to early relationships and how they shape present feelings. Sessions are offered in a calm, respectful style where clients can talk openly about painful topics.
Background and approach
Linda also works with more specific difficulties such as attachment and abandonment issues, challenges around BDSM and kink culture, body image and codependency. She addresses practical problems like communication, commitment, caregiver stress, and coping after separation or traumatic events. Her practice includes helping people who have experienced domestic violence, control problems and feelings of emptiness.
Linda aims to help clients understand where these feelings come from and what gets in the way of changing them. The pace of work is set by each person, with space for reflection and practical steps when needed. Linda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She has three years of professional experience. Sessions are arranged online in a range of formats to suit different needs and schedules.

How psychodynamic work fits with online therapy
Psychodynamic work focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now. In sessions the therapist listens for recurring feelings and themes, helping the client connect past experiences to present reactions and relationships. This approach can help with long-standing issues such as attachment, abandonment, and persistent anxiety.Another helpful angle is short-term relational work which looks at communication and behaviour between people. This is more focused on current relationship problems, commitment worries, communication difficulties and improving intimacy. It often uses practical exercises alongside discussion to try different ways of interacting.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit personal needs, and adjust the work as understanding grows. Collaboration helps to match pace and focus so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Online formats offer flexibility for different lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and hold a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep continuity and to fit therapy around work and family commitments.
