What does coaching cost in Malta?
Coaches in Malta almost never publish a session price, they quote after a free discovery call. We checked Malta coaches' own websites in September 2026 and found no published one to one rates, only workshop and seminar tickets in the €20 to €100 range. As a rough estimate, expect a one to one hour with a life or career coach to cost more than a therapy session (see the €30 to €60 typical in Therapy & Counselling) and executive coaching for companies to be priced per programme, not per hour. Treat any figure as an estimate until you have a quote.
| Format | How it is usually priced |
|---|---|
| Discovery call (15 to 30 minutes) | Free with almost every coach |
| One to one session (60 minutes) | Quoted per session or in packages of 3, 6 or 12 |
| Career package (CV, LinkedIn, interview practice) | Fixed price bundle |
| Executive or team coaching | Per programme, invoiced to the company |
| Group workshops and seminars | €20 to €100 per ticket |
Three things move the price. Niche: executive and leadership coaching for companies costs the most, general life coaching the least. Credentials: coaches accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) or the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) tend to charge more. Package length: most coaches discount a block of six or twelve sessions against the single session price.
How to choose a coach in Malta
Coaching is not a regulated profession in Malta, there is no warrant and no register, so the checking is on you. The Malta Further and Higher Education Authority's list of regulated professions covers counselling, psychology and psychotherapy but not coaching. Look for an ICF or EMCC credential, ask how many client hours they have logged, and ask for the structure of a typical engagement. A coach who cannot describe what session six looks like is improvising.
Coaching and therapy overlap but are not the same thing. Coaching works on goals, decisions and performance with someone who is broadly well. If the difficulty is anxiety, depression, trauma or grief, a warranted counsellor or psychotherapist is the right professional, and a good coach will say so and refer you.
Common mistakes to avoid: paying for a twelve session package before the first paid session (buy one, then decide), choosing a coach for their social media following rather than their client results, and expecting the coach to do the work. Coaching is homework between sessions, the hour is where you plan it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a coach and a therapist?
A coach works forward from where you are towards a goal: a career move, a decision, a habit, a leadership skill. A therapist treats distress and mental health difficulties and holds a state warrant in Malta. If you are unsure which you need, book a discovery call with a coach and ask, most will tell you honestly.
Is coaching regulated in Malta?
No. There is no warrant, licence or register for coaches. The recognised voluntary credentials are ICF (International Coaching Federation) and EMCC accreditation, which require training hours, logged client hours and an ethics code.
How many sessions does coaching take?
Career coaching for a specific goal such as an interview or a CV can be two to four sessions. Broader life or leadership coaching usually runs six to twelve sessions over three to six months, fortnightly. Ask the coach for their expected arc before you commit to a package.
Can my employer pay for coaching?
Often yes. Executive and leadership coaching is usually invoiced to the company, and some employers fund career coaching as part of a development plan or a redundancy package. Ask your manager or HR whether a training budget covers it.
