About counsellors and psychotherapists in Malta
Counselling and psychotherapy are talking therapies. You meet regularly with one person and talk about what is weighing on you: a breakup, grief, stress, family tension or patterns you keep repeating. The aim is space to understand and change things, not a test score or a diagnosis. If you need a formal assessment or report, a psychologist is usually the better fit.
In Malta, counsellor and psychotherapist are separate professions, each with its own warrant and board. Counselling is often shorter and focused on a current problem. Psychotherapy tends to go deeper and can run longer. Therapists also train in different approaches, such as gestalt, systemic or cognitive behavioural. Ask what theirs means in practice, and trust how the first session feels to you.
What you pay depends on session length, whether you come alone, as a couple or as a family, and whether you meet in a room or online. Couples sessions are usually priced differently from individual ones. Ask about the cancellation policy early, as weekly therapy means a regular slot that is held for you.

Questions
How much does a therapist cost in Malta?
Therapists set their own fees, and the main differences are session length, whether it is individual, couples or family work, and online or in person. Counselling may cover fewer sessions than longer psychotherapy, so the total also depends on how long you keep going. Ask for the session fee and cancellation terms before the first meeting.
What is the difference between a counsellor and a psychotherapist in Malta?
Both offer talking therapy, but in Malta they are separate warranted professions. Counsellors get their warrant from the Council for the Counselling Profession, psychotherapists from the Psychotherapy Profession Board. Training and the usual length of therapy differ. Either way, check which warrant the person holds and how they work before you commit.
Can I have therapy online if I live in Gozo?
Many counsellors and psychotherapists offer online sessions, which helps if you live in Gozo or work shifts. Ask where they will be during the call, how they keep it private, and what happens if the connection drops. Some people prefer to start in person and move online later, so ask whether that is possible.
How do I find a counsellor or psychotherapist I can trust?
Start with the basics: ask which warrant they hold and confirm it with the right board. Reviews can tell you how people felt, but fit is personal. Most therapists expect you to ask questions in a first call. If you are in crisis or feel unsafe, go to the hospital emergency department rather than waiting for a booking.
