About Linda
Linda Boffo is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports clients who want to look at codependency, attachment and abandonment patterns.
She uses a psychodynamic frame to help people notice recurring relationship patterns and emotions that feel stuck. Sessions focus on how past experiences influence present choices. Linda aims to make these links clear and practical so people can try different ways of responding outside therapy.
In conversation she pays attention to feelings, memories and the ways people cope. She will help name repeated behaviours such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or losing sense of self around others. Work can include looking at body image, intimacy and aspects of kink or alternative sexual culture where relevant.
Linda offers sessions in English and Italian. She asks people to think about what they want to change and brings a steady, reflective approach to each meeting. The therapist encourages small, workable experiments between sessions to test new responses.
Sessions are arranged through the platform process: complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How psychodynamic work and online sessions fit together
Psychodynamic work focuses on spotting repeated emotional patterns and the early experiences that shaped them. In practice that means talking about relationships, memories and feelings to make sense of why certain reactions keep happening. This approach can help with anxiety, attachment concerns and codependency by turning vague discomfort into clearer themes to work on.She also uses evidence-based techniques that support that reflection, such as paced talking interventions that develop awareness of triggers and short practical experiments to alter responses between sessions. These experiments are small actions you can try in daily life to test new ways of relating or setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree on ways of working together. Clients and the therapist review progress and adapt methods as needed to fit what is actually helping.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, use less travel time and make follow-ups simpler. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or video is difficult, while others find video better for reading facial cues; the therapist will help choose what suits the practical needs of each person.
