Malta regulates psychology, psychotherapy and counselling under separate Acts. Each profession has its own board and its own warrant. The Malta Psychology Profession Board issues the psychologist's warrant, the Malta Psychotherapy Profession Board the psychotherapist's, and the Council for the Counselling Profession Board the counsellor's.
A warrant, rather than a membership, is what registers a person in those professions. So the warrant is the thing to ask about.
A psychiatrist is a doctor, checked instead on the medical register held by the Medical Council. Verify with Malta Psychology Profession Board (MPPB), Malta Psychotherapy Profession Board (MPTPB) or Council for the Counselling Profession Board (CCP).
Therapy fees in Malta are set by each practice, so what a psychologist, psychotherapist or counsellor charges depends on their qualifications, the length of the session and where they work. Therapists' fees tend to track local income levels, and what you pay in total depends on how long the work runs: some difficulties are addressed in a few months, others take longer. If the fee is beyond your means, ask about a sliding scale based on income, and look at community mental health services and any counselling your employer provides through an assistance programme.
