Ψ Gestalt Psychotherapist & Youth Worker
B.A. Youth and Community Studies; P.G. Dip. Community Action and Development
Dario is a qualified Gestalt Psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. He began his professional journey in the military, but a transformative summer school in Palermo inspired him to work more closely with young people, supporting them through life’s challenges. He holds a Bachelor of Youth and Community Studies with Honours (University of Malta), a Postgraduate Diploma in Community Action and Development, and a Master’s in Gestalt Psychotherapy from GPTIM.
Dario’s career began as a Social Support Worker, quickly progressing to House Leader at St. Patrick’s Residential Care, where he worked with children and adolescents who had experienced abuse, neglect, or social difficulties. He played a key role in establishing and coordinating aftercare services for young people leaving residential care. Later, as a core team member and co-founder of Caritas Tal-Ibwar Therapeutic Services for Adolescents, he introduced Adventure Therapy, using nature-based activities like trekking, backpacking, cycling, and swimming as tools for healing and self-discovery.
His therapeutic approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative. Dario creates a safe space for clients to reflect, explore, and build practical tools for a more balanced life. He works with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, addiction, neurodiversity, and personal growth. While he supports clients of all ages, he has a special passion for guiding adolescents—valuing both the unique challenges and opportunities for growth during this stage. Outside of therapy, Dario is an adventurer at heart, passionate about travel, reading, sports, and exploring cultures, with a firm belief in the restorative power of nature.

Our numbers speak for themselves. Here’s some data showing what we’ve been up to since we’ve opened our doors.
Join our mailing list to get our curated collection of relevant self-help recommendations regularly.
1. TherapyPacks come in bundles of 5 or 10 sessions. Prices of bundles:
2. Bundles are not transferable. This means they cannot be used by, or gifted to, anyone else but the person whose name is listed as the TherapyPacks bundle holder.
3. Bundles which are purchased for Couples Therapy and Family Therapy can only be used by members of the couple or family with one therapist. If members of a couple or family decide to take up individual therapy with another therapist, the bundle will only apply to sessions with the therapist originally referred and cannot be also used for the individual sessions with another therapist. Exceptions will be made if the original therapist is unable to see the client or family and the couple or family are referred to another therapist. After referral, the same conditions will apply.
4. Bundles are valid for a limited time period, as listed above. This means that the bundles will expire once the respective time period has elapsed. Any sessions not utilised within this period will be lost. This means that a refund will not be given for unused sessions. Start date commences on date of purchase of bundles.
5. Bundles are only valid for full price sessions (charged at €60) and not for sessions with trainee psychotherapists, reports or assessments.
6. Full payment needs to be made on purchase, via bank transfer, cash or credit card.
7. Management reserves the right to terminate or suspend the use of the bundles. Reasons for such are at the discretion of the clinic.
8. Refunds or extensions of time period within which bundles may be used is at the discretion of management and will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.
9. Management reserves the right to modify or replace the terms and conditions. In such circumstances, clients will be given adequate notice and time to adhere to such.
10. The clinic’s cancellation policy is applicable also to bundles. Late cancellations or no shows will result in the forfeit of a session within the bundle allocation.
11. Responsibility for ensuring timely use of session bundles remains that of the TherapyPacks bundle holder or, in the case of a minor, their carer/legal guardian.
