International Women’s Day

Today we want to take a moment to acknowledge the women who are part of our team.

In our everyday work, we see women showing up with care, professionalism, thoughtfulness, and emotional presence. Much of this happens quietly and behind the scenes, without attention or recognition.

This post is simply a pause to recognise the value of women’s voices, connection, and support within our team and the spaces we work in.

Being seen, heard, and supported matters.

This workshop series is designed as a rare clinical learning experience centred on live observation and reflective discussion within a real therapy room setting.

Participants will observe a live simulated session, followed by a guided multidisciplinary discussion exploring formulation, therapeutic direction, and clinical decision-making in real time.

In collaboration with Betapsi, the format reflects advanced clinical training approaches where observation, reflection, and professional dialogue are central to learning.

Places are intentionally limited to preserve the depth and quality of clinical discussion.

This month’s Pause & Connect circle will be a little different.

For the first time, the evening will be facilitated by a male therapist, bringing a new perspective to the conversation as we explore relationships, intimacy, and sexuality in midlife.

The session will be guided by Matthew Bartolo, S*x and Relationship Psychotherapist, creating space for thoughtful dialogue, understanding, and gentle reflection in a calm and respectful setting.

As always, Pause & Connect remains a safe space for women, where participation is led by choice. You are welcome to listen, reflect, or share only what feels right for you.

🗓 18 March 2026

Each clinician approaches the same presenting issue through a distinct clinical lens.

In the Health Psychology session, participants will observe a live simulated clinical interaction within a therapy room setting, witnessing how behavioural patterns, health beliefs, and psychological maintenance processes inform real-time formulation.

This will be followed by a structured clinical discussion, allowing attendees to reflect on how different professional perspectives shape understanding and intervention.

In collaboration with Betapsi, this format mirrors advanced clinical training grounded in observation, formulation, and multidisciplinary reflection.

After a lot of discussion, observation, and a fair bit of admiration… we’ve made a decision.

We officially have two finalists. .farugia and .mifsud5

And instead of choosing just one winner, we’re doing something different.

Both finalists will be taking home €450 in cash.

Why?

Because what we were looking for wasn’t just visibility. It was consistency. It was commitment. It was showing up again and again, wearing the t-shirt every single time they went to university. No excuses. No selective appearances. Just steady dedication.

They didn’t just participate. They embodied it.

So rather than splitting hairs over small differences, we’re rewarding what truly stood out: effort, reliability, and the discipline of following through.

To both of you: well done. You earned it.

And to everyone else watching… consistency always wins.

The way we experience closeness in childhood often echoes into adulthood. Our early bonds shape how we trust, relate and feel safe with others.

Here you can find more about how attachment styles influence the relationships we form throughout life:

Attachment is described as the emotional bond you form with your primary caregiver as an infant, described by John Bowlby (26/02/1907 - 02/09/1990) and Mary Ainsworth (01/12/1913 - 21/03/1999).

It is common to feel overwhelmed when stress builds up over time. Low motivation, emotional fatigue, and constant tension can slowly affect your wellbeing in ways that are easy to overlook. These experiences happen to many people, especially during busy or demanding periods of life.

Research shows that talking to a mental health professional can help you understand what your mind and body are trying to tell you. With the right support you can develop healthier coping strategies, feel more in control, and regain a sense of balance.

1st March marks Self-Harm Awareness Day.

Self-harm is often a way of coping with overwhelming emotional pain, not a desire for attention.

Raising awareness means reducing stigma, encouraging compassion, and reminding people that support is available.

If this message resonates with you or someone you care about, you don’t have to face it alone.
Reaching out for help is a meaningful and brave step.

Eating disorders can feel isolating, but support can make a meaningful difference.

Recovery is not linear, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone.
What matters is being met with understanding, compassion, and the right support at the right time.

If this message resonates with you or someone you care about, help is available.

You deserve support.
