The 5 best psychotherapists in Malta who offer non-judgmental sessions
There’s truly nothing like being listened to. While friends are great at doing this, sometimes a professional is needed to get to the root of certain problems.
After seeing several different psychotherapists in Malta, I can certainly see the value of their work. When times are toughest, they help patients process heavy emotions without judgment.
I’ve compiled a list of them for those looking to better themselves or simply have someone to talk to about their problems in a safe, welcoming environment.
How much does a session with a psychotherapist cost in Malta?
A session with a psychotherapist in Malta typically costs between €40 to €90. This price can fluctuate widely based on the length of the session and the therapist’s experience.
1. Paths Malta
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
The best part about Paths Malta is that they cater to all age groups. Whether you are having a session for yourself or your entire family, their services can easily match you with an appropriate psychotherapist.
They have over 30 therapists trained in various languages, including English, Dutch, and Italian. They even cover a wide range of topics, such as self-growth, personality disorders, and neurodiversity.
Sessions with them are 100% private, so patients can feel free to discuss anything.
Additionally, they offer assessments for Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia. These are great for patients who suspect that they have any of these disorders.
I like that their psychotherapists are trained in Gestalt Therapy, offering a holistic approach to psychology.
Availing their sessions is as easy as selecting a therapist from their list. Sessions are either face-to-face or online. I would suggest going for the face-to-face sessions, since their online sessions don’t offer discounts or promos.
I recommend to anyone struggling or seeking help
“The caring, professional, and human faced support of Paths Clinic is truly outstanding. The therapists, space and all team have transformed my life in ways I could never imagine. Besides the professional care Paths Clinic show a great gestures towards the community by giving professional support talks open to all public, I find such help so admirable especially in the times we are living. The great care, communication and professional therapy I have received from Paths keeps me transforming my life to a place that thrives. I recomend to anyone struggling or seeking help to reach their services.”

2. Therapy Cloud Malta
Address: Triq L Isqof, Raħal Ġdid,
Contact Details: +356 9934 4759
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM
For remote services, Therapy Cloud is an accessible provider that can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection. They offer sessions for individuals or organisations, and I like that they cater to adults and students aged 18 or older.
While I was disappointed that they don’t work with kids, I was impressed to learn that they offer group therapy sessions and workshops that can be accessed anywhere.
Bonus points for their free personalised therapist matching. It is great at connecting patients with therapists who specialise in their concerns.
They have a team of 9 counsellors and psychotherapists who specialise in Gestalt psychotherapy. Some of them are even social workers, who are perfect for patients suffering from PTSD.
Booking with any of their psychotherapists is easy on their website. I appreciate that they offer contact options such as WhatsApp, SMS, and email. These options are beneficial for anxiety patients who might be wary of sudden calls.

3. Change Easily
Address: Triq Il-Wardija, San Pawl il-Baħar SPB6101
Contact Details: +356 9955 3303
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Tuesday, Friday: 12:30 PM to 7:00 PM
- Wednesday to Thursday: 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
- Saturday: 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM
I like that Change Easily offers a 15-minute free consultation through online sessions, which is a nice way to test out their services.
Psychotherapy at Change Easily focuses on holistic hypnotherapy, delivered by their in-house psychotherapist, Carlotta Bernardo. She’s a trained practitioner from Italy and holds a BSc in Psychology from the Carlo Bo University of Urbino.
Hypnotherapy is a useful tool that’s best for providing relief from anxiety and panic attacks. Some clients have also commented on how beneficial the service is for those suffering from fears and phobias.
Carlotta herself conducts these sessions, and most patients see results after at least 4. These sessions can be done in person or online, but there’s little difference in the effectiveness of the therapy between the two.
While I appreciate her services, fees can vary significantly depending on the nature and severity of your case. Be sure to inquire before your first session to avoid unexpected costs.
Carlotta has a warm, reassuring presence
“Working with Carlotta has been such a positive and healing experience. I initially came in feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from hypnotherapy. But right from the first session, I felt at ease. Carlotta has a warm, reassuring presence and really takes the time to listen and understand what you’re going through. Each session helped me feel more grounded, and over time I’ve noticed a big improvement in how I handle stress and anxious thoughts. I’m so grateful for the support and would definitely recommend Carlotta to anyone looking for a gentle, effective approach to inner healing.”

Working with Carlotta has been a truly transformative experience
“Working with Carlotta has been a truly transformative experience. She is not only an exceptional therapist but also a kind, empathetic, and deeply knowledgeable professional. Her ability to listen without judgment and provide insightful guidance has helped me navigate difficult moments and grow in ways I never imagined. Every session feels like a safe haven where I can express myself freely and gain valuable tools for personal growth. I am incredibly grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist!”

4. Melissa Mifsud
Address: Triq Iz Zejtun, Ħal Tarxien
Contact Details: +356 7905 1882
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Melissa Mifsud’s practice is located in easily accessible areas of Tarxien and Birgu. She’s a highly-rated Systemic Psychotherapist who specialises in families and couples. Additionally, she works closely with teenagers and children.
Her talk therapy ranges from individual therapy services to couples and family therapy. Individual therapy sessions are perfect for those suffering from grief, bereavement, and mood disorders.
Parents and couples report that, through Melissa’s guidance, they were able to openly discuss their issues and create a more functional home environment. These sessions can be done individually or in groups, and I appreciate the variety.
Psychotherapy with Melissa can be conducted via remote or in-person sessions. I appreciate that each session lasts for 60 minutes, which is longer than other services. This gives patients enough time to discuss their feelings and resolve their inner turmoil.
However, even with these great services, I was disappointed by the lack of variety of therapy styles.
Very professional
“Very professional service & understandable. Highly recommend.”

5. Hope Therapy 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
At the Hope Therapy Clinic, they primarily help patients work through difficult emotions and experiences.
Practices are led by Stephanie Ciantar Cassar, who has a Master’s in Counselling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Malta.
Her team highly values confidentiality and works closely with GPs to address more complex issues, such as situations where the patient is at risk to themselves or others.
Therapy at Hope is individual. These sessions are done weekly and last for 50 minutes to an hour. The main areas of focus for them are depression, trauma, and those suffering from self-harm.
Aside from these, they also offer therapy for children, couples, and families. These are typically done in group settings and aim to find solutions that fit each family.
While I like the service, I wish they had separate rooms for adults and children because their current therapy rooms can be a bit distracting.
The team is friendly and collaborative
“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.”
– Rosette Said Sarreo, Google Review
I’m thankful that I found such a professional and friendly environment
“I had the pleasure to be a customer of Stephanie Ciantar Cassar for two years.
It was my first time and I’m thankful that I found such a professional and friendly environment. I wish I had decided to seek for professional advice earlier in my life.
Thank you for everything!”
