Laura Wester

Works from the belief that mental and physical
health are inextricably linked.

Individual guidance

Each session is tailored to your process. From conversation and insight to breath, movement, or physical activation, aligned with the expertise of your therapist.

I am Laura Wester, psychologist and founder of Holimind.

Born in Amsterdam, where I still live today. Psychology was instilled in me from a young age; both my mother and grandmother had their own practices. From the age of ten, I was already opening the door for clients.

A great loss, a profound motivation.

When I was seven, I lost my father. That experience shaped who I am today. Grief and loss are never 'solved,' but I know how powerful therapy can be. I believe personal experience is beneficial in this work. Not because I know better, but because I can truly empathize.

How I Work

Clients describe me as:

  • Empathetic and open

  • A listening ear

  • Pragmatic with a sense of humor

  • Sometimes confronting (when necessary)

I believe in clear goals, customization and an approach that suits you as a person, not just your complaint.

Why Holimind?

Holimind arose from the need for something different:

  • More space for integration between mind, body, and soul

  • Shorter waiting lists

At Holimind, I combine therapies with methods such as CBT, mindfulness, and running therapy. All are evidence-based, but also tailored to who you are.
