The 5 best marriage counselling services in Malta to mend your relationship
The solution to a rocky marriage isn’t always divorce or annulment. In many cases, what couples truly need is a safe space—and a skilled professional—to help them navigate challenges, rebuild trust, and improve communication.
This is where marriage counselling can make a real difference. Through guided conversations and practical strategies, counselling helps couples address unresolved issues and strengthen their emotional connection.
Drawing from insights shared by couples who have tried counselling, I’ve curated a list of the top marriage counselling services in Malta. These services helped couples address ongoing issues and rebuild healthier relationships.
How much does a marriage counselling session cost in Malta?
A marriage counselling session in Malta typically costs between €40 and €60. This price can change easily based on a couple’s insurance benefits, the counsellor’s specialisation, and the duration of each session.
1. Paths
Address: 52 Triq San Girgor, Tal-Pietà
Contact Details: +356 9901 3629
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM
- Saturday: 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Paths makes therapy easy by providing three easy steps to get you and your partner the support you need.
To get started, patients simply need to answer a few questions, and they can choose a therapist or have one chosen for them. Additionally, sessions here are private and personal, so no two people are seen at the same time.
All their marriage counsellors and therapists follow Systemic Family Psychotherapy. These get to the root of familial problems and create systems that prevent them.
Some of their notable staff are Charlene Borg and Charlotte Schembri, both of whom have over 25 years of experience in marriage counselling. Charlene also specialises in sex therapy, which can be beneficial for some couples with that concern.
Booking their services is quite easy and can be done through their website. However, keep in mind that sessions here aren’t weekly, so be prepared to wait.
They are always fruitful and have beneficial information
“I’ve attended several of Paths’ TherapyTalks sessions. They are always fruitful and have beneficial information that can easily be applied in everyday life. Thank you for this opportunity.”

2. Willingness
Address: 10, Qolla Street, ZBG1511, Ħaż-Żebbuġ
Contact Details: +356 7929 1817
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM
Willingness mainly focuses on couples and families, and I like that they guarantee an appointment within 5 working days. They are part of the Willingness Clinic and can be easily accessed by any vehicle with ample street parking.
Their main therapy here revolves around sexual health, promoting intimacy and satisfaction for both individuals. These therapies are customisable and often meet the wants and needs of both parties.
Aside from these, this clinic also offers family therapy sessions that help families connect and voice their problems in a safe environment.
Arianna Miclet and Amira El Deeb are certified relationship therapists and are preferred by several patients who visit this clinic. However, it can be difficult to book appointments with them, as they can only handle a limited number of patients at a time.
Still, I appreciate that there aren’t any hidden fees when availing of their services, and that their services typically range from €35 to €55.
The services provided are of excellent standard
“As soon as you enter the Hub you feel very comfortable as it feels warm and welcoming. The team is made up of different professionals so that they can help clients who have different needs. The services provided are of excellent standard.”

3. Hope Counselling & Psychology Clinic
Address: 19 Cannon Rd, Hamrun
Contact Details: +356 7927 1958
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM
Hope Counselling & Psychology Clinic specialises in helping patients through difficult times in their lives. Their counsellors and therapists provide tools and coping mechanisms that truly improve their patients’ lives.
Their couple’s therapy focuses on larger-than-life events, such as infertility, infidelity, and instances of co-parenting. Counsellors guide patients through these difficult situations, offering a safe space where they can be open without fear or judgement.
They have locations in Santa Venera and Mosta, which are both easily accessible. Availing a counsellor with them is as easy as filling out a form, and there’s no hassle in booking a follow-up session.
Bonus points since they are one of the few clinics that also provide help for children and adolescents going through their parents’ rocky patch.
While they offer great services, the therapy rooms felt cramped and sparsely furnished, which may make it harder for some couples to feel at ease.
Very warm and welcoming place
“Hope Clinic is a very warm and welcoming place, well-equipped to cater for the needs of the client and also for the professional offering the service. The team is friendly and collaborative with support being offered openly at all times. Special thanks goes to the clinic director, Stephanie Ciantar Cassar who always puts in lots of meticulous work and lots of love, without which, Hope would not be what it is.”

4. Counsellor Antonella Grasso (Therapy Malta)
Address: Triq Is- Suq, Iż-Żejtun ZTN 1420
Contact Details: +356 7931 5456
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Saturday: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Counsellor Antonella Grasso focuses on child and parent counselling, aiming to provide a better connection between the two.
She’s quite an accomplished counsellor, with a Master’s in Transcultural Counselling and a Bachelor’s of Psychology from the University of Malta. Additionally, she’s attended several trainings for children and relationship therapy.
I like that she offers free initial telephone consultations, with flexible appointments that are convenient for the patients. Sessions are available either in-person or online, so patients can choose which is most convenient for them.
Antonella chooses to be neutral in these sessions, which is highly appreciated by her patients. This helps them create a conversation that truly gets to the bottom of the issues plaguing the relationship.
Other services she provides are young adult and child therapy. These are also highly rated and can go hand in hand with marriage counselling.
However, I found it difficult to locate her office because there aren’t any signs outside.
I find Antonella very easy to talk to
“I find Antonella very easy to talk to and I’m not comfortable doing that normally, she is currently helping me a lot with my issues”

5. Melissa Mifsud
Address: Triq Iz Zejtun, Ħal Tarxien
Contact Details: +356 7905 1882
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Melissa Mifsud is a qualified Systemic and Warranted Psychotherapist located in Hal Tarxien. She focuses her services on families and couples, but she’s also great at working with children.
The main issues she can help couples work through are communication difficulties that lead to day-to-day difficulties. These can manifest in several ways, but are most common in decision-making, whether large or small.
Despite this, some couples might want individual sessions for their couples therapy, which isn’t a common practice within Melissa’s clinic.
As for family therapy, she designs these spaces to be a comforting place to share any gripes they may have with each other. Patients love these because they foster better communication between parents and their children.
Aside from these, Melissa has individual sessions for children and youths that focus more on the challenges of growing up.
