Dr Manjola Collaku

CBT Psychotherapist

Experienced in the field of clinical psychology, developmental psychology, infantile and adult psychopathology, with experience in teaching at the university level. Rich work experience in clinical practice. Accreditation Certificate from European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies.

About Me

As a CBT Psychotherapist with a PhD, I draw on extensive experience in clinical and developmental psychology, understanding how early experiences shape adult challenges. My deep understanding of psychological patterns across the lifespan allows me to guide clients through a wide range of concerns. We work together to explore thought patterns and develop practical strategies. This approach is ideal for those seeking clear, evidence-based tools to navigate life’s complexities and foster lasting change.

Approach

Experience with developmental patterns shapes how therapy unfolds: I combine structured assessment with collaboratively built formulations to link past influences to present difficulties and set concrete, manageable goals. Sessions in my Tirana office or online (Albanian, English, Italian) are focused and paced to suit each person, mixing cognitive and behavioral experiments, skill practice, and brief between-session tasks that reinforce learning. This practical, evidence-minded rhythm tends to suit adolescents, parents and adults seeking clear steps toward steadier functioning.
