Where do I obtain the mounting boxes which have fittings to mount onto
plasterboard?

Near anywhere - they're called dry lining boxes. However, they're more
expensive than steel ones and not so neat - you'll see their lip behind
the socket. And this looks dreadful with brass, etc, sockets, or those
super slim ones.

The other way is to screw battens to the back of the plasterboard either
side then screw a metal box to those. Use brass screws through the
plasterboard then make good with filler. You can often get away with 'no
nails' if the battens are clamped and it's left to set.
