Maria Darmanin

I have completed a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Psychology, followed by a Higher Diploma in Psychology from the University of Malta. I further pursued my studies in the field of psychology and psychotherapy by completing a Master’s in Health Psychology from the University of Malta, and a Master’s in Gestalt Psychotherapy from G.P.T.I.M.

Throughout my training I was exposed to working with children, adolescents, and adults in varied clinical settings. However, my particular interest lies in working with young adults experiencing challenges in their lifestyle, which may result in anxiety, stress, low mood, trauma, and other emotional and psychological difficulties.

My background in health psychology also supports me to adopt a holistic approach to health and wellbeing through considering the interaction between physical and mental health. Thus, I also work with issues related to eating patterns, health behaviour change, grief and loss, and similar health-related concerns.

I am a firm believer that developing a safe and supportive therapeutic space can support individuals to achieve their desired state of wellbeing and reach their full potential in life.
