Ruth Louise Formosa Ventura

Ruth was one of the pioneers who set up ‘Family Therapy’ in Malta. After graduating in Psychology, she completed a six year post graduate programme in Systemic Thinking and Practice designed and delivered in collaboration with Tavistock Clinic, London which led her to become a qualified Systemic Psychotherapist. In her fourteen years of experience within the Family Therapy Unit, she developed a vast clinical experience in working with mental health issues. She also organized and delivered training in the field. At present, she is a visiting lecturer in the Master’s programme. Her main passion is working with Couples and Families.

Nine years ago, Ruth started her clinical practice in Zurich. She considers herself very lucky as she continues to enrich herself through other people’s stories. She definitely believes that families can tap their own resources through constructive conversations that lead them to rewrite their narratives.
