A psychologist studies how people think, feel and behave, and many of the reasons people search for one come down to assessment. That might be a report on a child's learning or attention, a cognitive assessment for an older parent, or a clearer picture of long-running anxiety or low mood. Psychologists also offer therapy sessions, but the formal assessment and the written report are what set them apart.
Psychologists in Malta often work in one area: clinical, educational, counselling or forensic psychology, for example. A child psychologist and one who sees adults with anxiety will approach the first meeting very differently, so read each profile for the age group and problems they work with. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. If you think you may need medication, your GP is the place to start.
The fee depends on what you need. A single consultation, a full assessment with testing and a written report, and a series of weekly sessions are priced in different ways. Reports for a school, an employer or a court take extra time to prepare. Ask whether sessions are in a clinic or online, and whether your health insurance covers psychology and needs a GP referral.

Questions
How much does a psychologist cost in Malta?
It depends on whether you book a one-off consultation, a full assessment or regular sessions. Assessments include testing, scoring and a written report, so they take far more of the psychologist's time than a single session. Ask for the cost of each part in writing before you start, and check with your insurer whether psychology is covered and if it needs a referral.
Can my child see a psychologist in Malta?
Yes. Some psychologists work only with children and teenagers, often on learning, attention, behaviour or worries. Look for an educational or child psychologist and ask how they involve parents and the school. If you need a report for school, say so at the first contact, because it shapes which assessment they use.
Is there a free psychologist in Malta?
Psychologists listed here work privately and set their own fees. If cost is the main barrier, ask your GP or local health centre what public mental health options are open to you, and whether your employer, school or university offers a service. If you are in crisis, go to the hospital emergency department.
How do I check a psychologist has a warrant in Malta?
In Malta the title psychologist is protected by law, so anyone using it must hold a warrant. Ask for their full name and warrant number, then confirm it with the Malta Psychology Profession Board. A psychologist who works from Gozo or online still needs the same warrant. Tminta does not check warrants for you.
