About Linda
Counsellor and BACP member Linda Boffo has three years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues and self-esteem. She offers sessions in English and Italian and helps people address areas such as abandonment, attachment, body image and caregiver stress.
Linda uses a psychodynamic perspective to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and situations. That means she pays attention to feelings and past experiences that show up in the room. Conversations aim to bring those patterns into view so people can decide what to do with them.
Sessions involve talking through recent problems and noticing links with earlier life and relationships. Linda listens for themes such as trust, control, and intimacy, and helps people name how these affect day-to-day choices. Work can include looking at family of origin issues, codependency, commitment concerns and communication problems.
She also supports people dealing with more specific topics like BDSM, kink and alternative sex cultures, divorce and separation, domestic violence, coping after disasters, and feelings of emptiness. Practical matters such as managing stress or improving body image are included alongside deeper exploration.
People who want to work in either English or Italian can make that choice. The first meeting typically looks at what worries someone most and what they hope to change. From there, sessions are arranged to suit the person's needs and circumstances.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Linda’s work is informed by psychodynamic ideas that focus on how past relationships shape present feelings. This approach looks for repeating patterns and pays attention to emotions and memories that influence everyday choices. It can help with long-standing issues such as attachment, abandonment and relationship difficulties.She also combines this with practical discussion about current problems like stress, communication difficulties and body image. Those conversations tend to identify small changes that can be tried between sessions alongside deeper exploration.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor and client review what is most helpful, and adjust the focus as the work progresses. This lets the person balance immediate needs with longer term understanding.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week by removing travel time and by offering sessions that suit work breaks or quieter hours. Some formats use less bandwidth or no camera, which can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed.
