Laura

Psychologist (NIP) & ACT Therapist /​ Coach

About me
I am a psychologist, certified ACT therapist, and coach. Since moving to the Netherlands from Italy in 1999, I have been living and working in Groningen, where I support both international and Dutch clients.

I work with people who experience stress, anxiety, burnout, identity challenges, or difficulties adjusting to change. My clients include expats, students, young professionals, and adults at different life stages.
Clients describe me as warm, respectful, and supportive.

My approach

My approach combines empirical, evidence-based methods with a holistic perspective. I guide clients to accept and normalize stress as part of life, while equipping them with tools to break rigid thought and behavior patterns and reconnect with their best selves.

My practice emphasizes exploring internal dialogue, cultivating emotional awareness, and using mindfulness to foster present-moment awareness. Recognizing the intrinsic link between mind and body, sessions may integrate meditation and mindfulness techniques to support overall well-being.

At the core of my work is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT offers practical strategies to handle difficult thoughts and emotions more flexibly and to live in line with personal values. My sessions are both research-based and holistic, focused on resilience and sustainable well-being.
