Online Psychologist in Albanian

A session with an online psychologist at Mendje costs from €46 to €55, depending on the plan you choose: a single session is €55, the 4-session plan is €49 per session and the 6-session plan is €46 per session. Every session lasts 50 minutes and takes place by video, audio or messages inside the app. Prices are the same for everyone, in euros and published openly, with no sign-up fee or subscription: you pay only for what you book, directly in the app. Cancelling or rescheduling is free up to 24 hours before the session. The app and its self-care tools (journal, mood tracking, articles) are free; only sessions with a psychologist are paid. Sessions are paid privately and Mendje does not bill insurers. You can compare all plans on the pricing page.

Yes. Every psychologist on Mendje is licensed and goes through a verification process before joining the platform: we check the university degree in psychology, the professional licence issued by the relevant body in Albania or Kosovo, and clinical experience with clients. We work only with licensed psychologists and psychotherapists and do not accept counsellors without clinical training. You can see each psychologist's name, qualifications and areas of focus in their profile inside the app before you book, so you choose with full information. Psychologists are not psychiatrists and do not prescribe medication; if you need medical treatment, your psychologist will point you in the right direction. If the fit doesn't feel right, you can switch psychologists at any time, free of charge. Read more about choosing a psychologist on how Mendje works.

Online sessions at Mendje take place entirely inside the app, by video, audio or messages, whichever feels most comfortable. You start by downloading the free app and completing a short questionnaire about how you feel and what you are looking for; based on that you are shown suitable psychologists, and you choose one after reading their profile. You then see their available times and book your first session, with no phone calls and no waiting lists. A standard session lasts 50 minutes and runs over an encrypted connection; times are shown in your phone's local time zone, so there is nothing to convert. All you need is a phone, a stable internet connection and a quiet place. The full steps, from questionnaire to first session, are on how Mendje works.

Yes, for most common concerns. Recent studies and reviews show that video-based psychological counselling produces results comparable to face-to-face sessions for anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties, provided the psychologist is qualified and there is continuity between sessions. The practical advantage is access: no travel, a time that suits you and a space where you feel safe, which for many people makes it easier to open up. There are limits too: online sessions are not a substitute for emergency care or psychiatric treatment. Your psychologist will also tell you openly if your situation calls for a different kind of help, for example in-person care. Every session lasts 50 minutes and costs from €46 to €55, depending on the plan. If you are in crisis, see our crisis helplines; for everything else, an online psychologist is a good and safe place to start.

Yes. Mendje was created precisely to connect Albanians wherever they live with psychologists who speak Albanian. You can use it from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France, the UK, the USA or anywhere else; all you need is the app and an internet connection. Sessions are in Albanian, the language in which you express emotions most precisely, and many psychologists also speak German, English or Italian. Times are shown in your own time zone and psychologists also offer evenings and weekends, so a session fits around work or school abroad. Payment is in euros inside the app, with no international transfers. Our psychologists know homesickness, migration stress and life between two cultures first-hand. Every session lasts 50 minutes and costs from €46 to €55, depending on the plan. The specifics for the diaspora are explained on psychologists for the diaspora.

Yes. Video and audio sessions run over an encrypted connection and are not recorded by Mendje; messages with your psychologist are stored encrypted and seen only by you and them. Personal data is processed under the GDPR, the European data-protection regulation, and stored on servers in the European Union; we do not sell it or share it with third parties for advertising. Every psychologist is bound professionally and contractually to confidentiality: what you say in a session stays there, except where the law requires otherwise, such as a serious risk to life. You can request deletion of your account and data at any time from the app. Access to the app is protected by your password and your phone's biometric login.
