Ψ Systemic Family Psychotherapist
B.Psy. (Hons)(Melit.); M.Sys.Fam.Psych. (IFT)
PPBM Warrant No. 363
Melvin graduated with a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) from the University of Malta in 2014 and read for his Masters in Systemic Family Psychotherapy at IFT-Malta. In between, he worked for over 6 years in local community mental health services across the islands where he found a fondness for caring, empowering and advocating for people experiencing a range of mental health difficulties. These included depression, anxiety, and psychosis in different contexts – whether schools, home, at work or in a relationship.
Melvin has experience working as a family therapist in a school and residential care setting, where he supports children between the ages of 8 and 17 coming from a background of complex family issues, severe trauma and neglect. Through his professional work, he supports both the children and their families, including parents and siblings, in creative sessions to find a path forward to family wellness. His areas of expertise could be encapsulated under the term relational work, which can include but is not limited to couple conflict, parent-child conflict, parenting styles, child and teen behavioural issues, life transitions (e.g separation, career changes, identity issues, spirituality) and family cycle issues. He also has vast experience in working with groups, delivering psycho-educational training/workshops, facilitating group dynamics sessions at the place of work and team-wellbeing.
Melvin’s experience and knowledge have shown him that keeping a non-judgemental and de-pathologising attitude can develop a nurturing therapeutic relationship with his clients. He’s a huge advocate for personal and relational therapy and the life-long growth and enriching benefits it can provide. Simultaneously, he also understands that most people might not want to be in therapy forever and thus he is passionate about helping and empowering clients in reaching their goals. He is a big believer in also accompanying them to maintain the skills learned and adopted in the therapeutic journey to keep finding their own solutions long-term, outside of the therapy room.
Melvin is an avid book-reader, loves thought-provoking movies, holds two black belts in Kempo Karate and Jiujitsu, and is passionate about weightlifting and strength training. He loves spending time with loved ones, especially if food or laughter (or both) are involved, as well as recharging in the simplicity of nature.

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.

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.
