Dr Ballato

In 1999, I moved from Italy to Groningen to study Psychology at the University of Groningen (RuG), where I still work as a lecturer. Having lived and worked in diverse cultural environments, I deeply understand the nuances and challenges of living and working in international contexts.

My trip from Italy to the Netherlands enriched my personal and professional life, allowing me to connect with people from different backgrounds. This experience has shaped my ability to provide culturally sensitive therapy and coaching, ensuring respect for each client's unique cultural context.
