Laura Porta

I'm a qualified psychotherapist from Italy. I faced the difficulties of moving to a new country by myself and trying to create a support network from zero. The challenges I lived through help me better understand the experience of young expats and immigrants who dealing with loneliness, anxiety, a sense of isolation, homesickness and the experiences that come with being a foreigner. I'm trauma sensitive and my practice is gender, sexuality, relationship diversity (GSRD) affirmative and with sensitivity in cultural and racial positioning. I have helped people with a wide range of issues including traumatic experiences, and chronic health conditions. I have also supported people struggling with the stress of work and relationships, with identity issues, and with life transitions in the context of the current socio-political, environmental, and financial difficulties.
