“I had the pleasure of working alongside Matthew at Wetherby Secure College of Learning. Matthew was informative and coached and mentored my pathway to teaching a difficult client group. Matthew used an intelligent approach in his communication at all levels. It is in my opinion that Matthew is a strong and compassionate professional”

“Worked with Matthew for our first webinar that focused on Mental Health in view of the effects of Covid. The session ran smoothly and we received many positive reactions from our members, especially thanks to Matthew Bartolo’s contribution, which was very professional and personal at the same time. Participants who run various businesses felt comfortable opening up about the challenges they were facing, which felt insurmountable, and appreciated the great tips put forward by Matthew and words of advice to find the strength to stand up and do the best they could.”

“Matthew is the therapist Malta needed. Thanks to him, various topics in relation to intimacy and sexuality began to be discussed in different spheres.”

“Matthew’s professional expertise and dedication to his clients are highly commendable. He has a remarkable talent for asking insightful questions and providing guidance, whilst tailoring his approach in line with his clients’ needs. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone seeking a counsellor who combines expertise with a compassionate and affirming approach.”

“Had the opportunity to collaborate with Matthew on different projects, and I find him incredibly flexible, resourceful, patient and professional to work with. His experience and down to Earth approach, makes him an asset for any project. Needless to say that I am looking forward to further collaboration with Matthew on other projects in the coming future.”

“Matthew is highly motivation and passionate about what he does and this is well reflected in his flexibility to convey his message on the media in Malta, and the thoroughness, comprehension and understanding he discusses hidden topics in sex research – in for example the workshops he organizes. I think Matthew is the person that modified how many Maltese people look and discuss sex related topics. Given his work and drive, I have trust in Matthew and in what he will continue to do.”

“Mr Bartolo delivered a talk to the parents of students attending our school. He was well prepared, to the point and practical. He shared tips on how to help our children deal with emotions. An interesting topic indeed. Thank you, Mr Bartolo. This was our first invite but surely not the last.” 

“Both at a professional level and on a personal level, Matthew has always helped steer my journey in the right direction. He’s one of the very few people that I can say have consistently brought me a step closer to my end goals. When things get tough, he’s always there to keep pushing me forward. Whether it’s setting up my own business, renting my own space, or facing many other challenges, Matthew has played a key role and for that I’m forever grateful.”

“Matthew was honest and straightforward enough to tell me things I did not want to hear about myself – sometimes in direct, unequivocal and shocking ways – to make me feel uncomfortable in a way that made me want to tweak my habits to be better. I found that very beneficial in the long run.”

“It was a pleasure to have Matthew as a guest speaker with me in a webinar on ‘Gender differences on the Workplace’. He kept everyone’s interest going as he recalled his knowledge and experience on the topic. He brings very relevant points to the conversations, sharing people’s experiences from his clinical/professional context. I look forward to further collaboration.”

“His intuition and understanding of the situation never failed me thus far to provide me with plausible solutions. Honest, genuine and caring. True professional.”

“I highly recommend Matthew for therapeutic work. He is a highly motivated professional who adopts a person-centred approach, making the person’s individual needs a priority. He is dynamic yet adheres to evidence based practices.”

“Matthew Bartolo is a very good communicator, and he has a great deal of knowledge and skill in his area. He is empathetic and compassionate, the latter skills are vital in supporting his clients.”

“Matthew led a Workshop during the 3rd HORATIO European Festival of Psychiatric Nursing which was organised in Malta between Thursday 6th and Sunday 9th November 2014. His Workshop was entitled the ‘Diagnosis and non-pharmacological treatment for female orgasmic disorder’. We received very positive feedback about Matthew’s feedback especially in relation to how should professionals approach clients who are experiencing female orgasmic disorders. This is not the first time that the MAPN and Matthew collaborated in educational events and we are very much looking forward for future opportunities!”

“Matthew is a passionate and skilled psychosexual relationship therapist and advocate for sexual health and education. His vast knowledge base, demeanour, and warmth are brought to all his interactions, whether with clients, professionals, or community members. He is a fantastic supervisor, mentor, and asset to this field.”

“Matthew Bartolo is a truly dedicated, professional, and effective psychologist as well as a successful manager of a Mental Health Clinic. His broad scientific knowledge and appropriate supervision have helped me grow as a psychology practitioner during my internship at Willingness. It certainly was a pleasure to work with him!”

“I cannot speak highly enough about Matthew. He has a remarkable ability to create a comfortable and trusting atmosphere from the moment you step into his office. Matthew’s expertise is evident in his thoughtful insights and practical advice. I highly recommend him not just for his professionalism but also for his genuine dedication in helping others.”
