About us

A person’s intellectual development and personal growth are complementary and are inextricably linked with each other in the development of the whole person. Our aim is to enhance and support the intellectual, spiritual, sexual and emotional growth of persons belonging to the University community. The Counselling Services is an integral part of the University of Malta and it offers counselling for its staff and students, and also participates in research, training and consultation.

If you are a current student or a staff member and would like to discuss any personal issue with a professional, you are welcome to contact us on + 356 2340 2235 or send us an email for further information.
