Psychotherapy
with a warranted therapist in Malta.
Talking therapy for children, adolescents and adults, offered in a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.
What psychotherapy can help with
Our psychotherapists work with clients across the lifespan and with a diverse range of presenting concerns. These include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Trauma
- Grief and loss
- Self-esteem difficulties
- Relationship challenges
- Emotional regulation
- Neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism
- Life transitions
You do not need a formal diagnosis or a referral to begin. Therapy is shaped around the individual rather than following a fixed programme, and the pace is yours.
How we work
A collaborative relationship
Change is fostered through the working relationship between client and therapist, not delivered to you. Sessions aim to build self-awareness, personal growth and meaningful change, at a pace that belongs to you.
Part of a wider team
Some people benefit from psychotherapy alone. Others have needs that call for input from other professionals. As part of Prijorità's multidisciplinary model, psychotherapy can form part of a wider care pathway where clinically appropriate, including psychiatric care or an ADHD assessment.
