Miss Arela Çarku

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“I am a clinical psychologist, group analyst and academic who works with individuals and groups in private practice. I work with people from all kinds of backgrounds who suffer from depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, problems with self-esteem, feelings of loneliness and more.”

About Me

I help individuals and groups navigate common struggles like anxiety, depression, and loneliness. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and group analyst, I offer a safe space to explore relationship difficulties and heal from childhood trauma. My approach supports self-esteem across diverse backgrounds. Clients find clarity and connection, moving towards a stronger sense of self.

Approach

Work unfolds through steady, collaborative sessions that blend reflective dialogue with creative practices to bring early wounds and current relationship patterns into view. I offer appointments in Tirana and online, in Albanian or English, and move between individual and group formats so people can test new ways of relating and receive live feedback. Between meetings we use short, focused exercises or brief assessments to track shifts and clarify what matters most. People seeking deeper self-understanding and safer connections often find this pace and focus helpful.
