Gillian Galea

Academically, I first graduated as a social worker, working with children’s services and then with addiction treatment within the community, focusing on harm reduction, or achieving and maintaining abstinence. I believe in families and other significant other’s input to support them in these unexplainable struggles.

In the meantime, I trained in Gestalt Psychotherapy and acquired a Diploma from Pink Therapy in Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity. My main passion in work is working with adults who have experienced childhood and adolescent trauma, young adults who are finding it difficult to navigate the myriad challenges of adjusting to adulthood and adults with substance abuse and misuse.

Besides my professional background, I am informed by being thoughtful, compassionate, and humble. I find comfort in literature and other pleasures in life such as diving, swimming and being close to nature. In the past, I volunteered with the Sisters of Mother Theresa in Palermo and Rome, where children and young adults showed me resiliency in its rawest forms.
