About Linda

Linda Boffo helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, family problems and complex concerns such as abandonment, attachment and body image. Linda works in English and Italian and offers a calm, respectful space to start difficult conversations.

Linda practices from a psychodynamic perspective. She focuses on how past experiences shape present feelings and reactions. Sessions are an opportunity to notice repeated patterns and to talk about what lies beneath day-to-day difficulties.

Her style is gentle and exploratory. She pays attention to emotions, memories and relationship patterns. The aim is to make sense of what keeps causing pain and to give people room to try different ways of being.

Linda has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is stated as a professional credential she holds.

People who choose her often want a thoughtful approach that looks beyond symptoms to underlying causes. She tailors her conversations to each person’s needs, focusing on what matters most to them in work, family and personal life.

Approaches that explore patterns and relationships

Psychodynamic work looks at how early relationships and past events shape current feelings and behaviours. It can help with anxiety, relationship struggles and lasting patterns that keep causing distress. This approach focuses on noticing feelings, memories and repeated reactions in everyday life.

In addition, evidence-based techniques often used alongside psychodynamic thinking can include focused talking work that helps with emotional regulation and clearer communication. These practical elements support boots-on-the-ground changes, such as improving how someone talks about needs or manages stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when those suit a busy day, or lessen the need to be on camera if someone prefers a different way of connecting.
