Apart from the accredited courses and specialist training , at IFT-Malta we offer a variety of psychotherapeutic services. We work from a systemic post-modern social constructionist perspective. This means that our therapeutic orientation is based on enabling and empowering people within the systems they live in. Research shows that Systemic Psychotherapy is very effective with children, young people and adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties and experiences. We work ‘with’ people rather than ‘on’ people as we journey through a collaborative experience to find and highlight the persons’ or relationships’ best resources upon which to build further strengths to make the necessary changes.
The Institute’s practice extends to those who may be going through financial hardship and who likewise would like to receive a professional service. The training clinic is structured as a group practice with live supervision. This means in every session there is a specialising trainee (Typically in the last two years of the training programme) working with the client/s and an observing team of another two specialising trainees together with a warranted supervisor and trainer in a different room observing and intervening immediately and directly during the session. This is a team-based training clinic. Agencies and NGOs who would like to refer please feel free to fill a referral form here. This is a professional service we offer in Malta & GOZO & costs €15 (negotiable) per one hour session. Individuals, couples, families, and organisations in need of addressing various problem situations are are welcome to call 79823572.

IFT-Malta is a Mental Health Institution whose primary focus is relationships. Workplace Wellbeing is a service we offer to support businesses in the development and sustenance of a mental health framework
with a clinical set up conceptualised to enable our honorary therapists (advanced students under live supervision) to work with people and generate the necessary change most helpful to clients. The training clinic uses the Classical Milan style team approach that ensures that clients benefit from multiple perspectives, including theirs, and the live supervision of a consultant. To maximise this practice we use live video that enables the team to observe the engaged honorary therapist and input their perspectives live during the session. This enables the other team members (usually 3) to observe the sessions live from an adjoining room and the supervisor to coach the therapist in the room with the clients. Their ideas and comments are shared with clients through various techniques. Appointments for this clinic are currently held on fixed dates, Monday to Friday at either 4.30pm pm or 6.30pm.
