About me
I am Alexandra, a psychotherapist and a member of the Malta Association of Psychotherapists. I first graduated from the University of Malta with a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) in 2015, after which I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Systemic Psychotherapy through the Institute of Family Therapy Malta. I then continued my training through a Masters in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice within the same institute. I have experience in the educational and social field, working with children and adults with learning difficulties and intellectual disabilities, together with their families. Throughout these experiences I also collaborated with other local state agencies and non-governmental organizations in the field of individual and family well-being and mental health.
As a systemic psychotherapist, I help individuals, couples and families with challenging certain beliefs and behaviours, thus empowering them to create healthier and more functional ways of relating. Other areas of interest include personal and professional well-being and growth, parenting, intimate relationships and emotional regulation.
When I am not working, I enjoy reading, cooking traveling and yoga.

Approach
In my work, ai make use of the concept of systemic therapy, which springs from systems theory, which looks at how parts of a system affect one another to sustain the stability and equilibrium of the whole. In thr approach I use, I have helped people of any age, including children. Each person has his own narrative, and through this approach, I help people get a better understanding about their life-story.
