Michael Said, ADHD specialist psychotherapist in Malta

Meet Michael

Hi. I'm Michael Said, BSc (Hons), MSc, MA, a Gestalt Psychotherapist based in Malta, practising at Demajo Medical in Mellieħa, Campus Hub in Birkirkara, and online across Europe. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone has the agency, authenticity and capacity to overcome the obstacles they're facing. My job is to help you believe that too.

I work with clients presenting different issues, including but not limited to: ADHD, disordered eating, addictions, anxiety, depression, issues of identity & sexuality, problematic childhood experiences and sports-related mental health issues.

Therapy isn't about becoming someone else. It's not magic, and it's not just a chat. It's about understanding yourself with compassion, breaking patterns that no longer serve you, and feeling more present in your own life. It is about situating yourself in the presence of another, and learning what that relationship can teach you about your own patterns of experience.

My role isn't to tell you what to do or who to become, it's to help you understand yourself differently, so that lasting change becomes possible. I welcome clients from all walks of life and beliefs.

What I help with

The stuff that's hard to put into words.

These are the areas I work with most. If you're not sure whether your situation fits, reach out — it probably does.

ADHD

Individual and group therapy for adults navigating ADHD: newly diagnosed, long diagnosed, or still making sense of it. I have ADHD myself. Read more.

Anxiety & burnout

The restlessness that won't settle. The tiredness that sleep doesn't fix. Working harder to feel less.

Identity & self-worth

Who you are, what you want, where you belong. The gap between how you present and how you actually feel.

Relationships

Patterns that repeat. Difficulty with closeness, conflict, or letting people in. What you bring from your past.

Addiction & unhealthy patterns

The things you reach for to cope, and what they're covering. Drinking, eating, staying in things that don't fit.

LGBTQI+ experiences

Identity, coming out, family, internalised shame, relationships. Worked with someone who understands from the inside.

Life transitions

Grief, career changes, moving countries, the end of something. When life changes faster than you can keep up.

Who I work with

People who've tried to think their way out of something, and it hasn't worked.

People who drink a bit more than they'd like to. Who eat in ways they don't fully understand. Who stay in jobs, relationships, or cities that don't fit, and can't quite explain why they're still there.

People who are functioning. Maybe even succeeding. But carrying something underneath that they've never quite been able to put into words.

People who've never felt fully at home, in their jobs, their friendships, their families, or their own skin. Who've spent a long time in the wrong circles, wondering why it never quite clicked.

People navigating identity, sexuality, or what it means to belong, who want to work with someone who understands that from the inside.

People who've had to stop doing the thing that kept them sane, sport, movement, the physical outlet, and don't know who they are without it.

People who suspect the thing they came in to talk about isn't actually the thing.

Therapy goes deeper. It works with psychological patterns, past experiences, and mental health concerns. As a psychotherapist, my training roots the work there. The conversations go as deep as they need to. Sometimes I may need to refer you to other professionals to ensure you're getting the right care.

Anyone dealing with the kind of stuff that's hard to put into words: anxiety, burnout, identity, relationships, ADHD, low mood, addiction patterns, life transitions. LGBTQI+ clients are very welcome. I see clients online in Europe, and in person in Mellieħa and Birkirkara, Malta.

Yes, and it's a significant part of my practice. I'm an ADHD specialist psychotherapist and I have ADHD myself. I work with adults who are newly diagnosed, long diagnosed, or who have always suspected something is different. A diagnosis is not necessary. Read more about ADHD therapy.

Sessions are 50 minutes over video call. You can be anywhere in Europe. Most people find it easier than they expected. Being in your own space can actually help. All you need is somewhere private and a good internet connection.

Mostly me understanding what's going on for you, and you getting a feel for whether this works. You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. We'll end with a clearer sense of what you're after and how I can help.

€62 per 50-minute session, whether in person or online. The same rate applies at all locations. See the fees page for the full picture including the cancellation policy and reduced rate places.
