Ms Shirley Galea

Psychotherapist

“I work with persons of all ages on issues relating to self-development, relationships, family and migration.”

About Me

I offer a warm, supportive space for individuals of all ages. Perhaps you want to understand yourself better, navigate relationships, or explore family dynamics and the impact of migration. My approach helps you make sense of current feelings and experiences, connecting them to your unique past. This process fosters deeper self-awareness and helps you build stronger, more authentic connections. We work together to find clarity and a path forward.

Approach

When questions about self, relationships or family life surface, I guide sessions with gentle curiosity and practical focus so you can explore patterns at a comfortable pace. Sessions happen in Wied il-Għajn or online, in English or Maltese, with room for reflection, short exercises and occasional reading or notes between meetings to support learning. Through conversational psychotherapy and psychoeducation we trace how past experiences shape present choices, testing small shifts together. People navigating personal growth, relationship changes or migration transitions often find this steady, collaborative rhythm helpful.
