Chiara Vassallo - Counsellor
Chiara Vassallo is a counsellor with a Master Degree in Transcultural Counselling from the University of Malta (in collaboration with the University of New Orleans). She works as a Principal Counsellor and manages the Counselling Services in 7 different schools.
Chiara has experience working with children, adolescents and adults providing family, group and individual support. She works with clients coming from diverse cultural backgrounds presenting a variety of issues, such as: emotional difficulties, challenging behaviour, anger management, academic concerns, anxiety, separation, mental health issues, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, depression, self-esteem issues, self-identity, sexuality, self-harm and stress. As well as specific issues relating to themes of trauma, loss, shame, bereavement, abuse and life changes. These experiences taught her a lot about life and the positive attitude counselling can offer towards life.
In private practice Chiara specialises in individual counselling. She offers therapeutic and emotional support in a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental setting using mainly client-centered therapy and other approaches to suit the client's needs. The aim for counselling is to explore issues and gain insights into the client’s life, support and help clients develop holistically, and move towards living a healthier and happier place.
