About Linda

Linda Boffo works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing family problems, body image concerns, attachment and abandonment worries, and issues linked to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture. Sessions are offered in English and Italian to suit different preferences.

Linda describes starting therapy as a step of courage. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful patterns and recurring problems. The first meetings focus on what matters most now and on making the process feel manageable.

Her background is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. In practical terms this means exploring relationships, early family influences and repeated behaviours to understand why they keep happening. She adapts the pace and focus to each person, balancing deeper reflection with concrete discussion about coping and choices.

With three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Linda aims to help people gain clearer self-understanding. She works with common life crises such as divorce, separation and caregiver stress, and with complex subjects like domestic violence and codependency.

People who choose her often want to understand underlying causes, reduce anxiety, improve communication and rebuild confidence. If someone is ready to begin, they are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on how earlier relationships and life experiences shape current thoughts and feelings. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and how patterns repeat across relationships.

Another useful way of working is relational exploration, which looks closely at how a person relates to others in day-to-day life. This approach helps with communication problems, intimacy concerns and rebuilding trust after difficult events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions to match those aims. People are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or making it easier to schedule a shorter check-in during a work break. Online sessions can also make it easier to continue therapy during life changes, while the practical arrangements are agreed when you book.
