CHILD THERAPY

Do you feel your child is struggling with problems that are affecting the way they feel, learn, behave or socialize with others?

If you notice your child has significant changes in their behaviour, mood, sleep, appetite, at school or home, they may need some support. 

The first session is always with the parents or responsible adult.  This is an assessment session where I will ask about the presenting concern and take a developmental history. Depending on the issue, individual therapy for the child, or family therapy, or a combination may be recommended.

If we decide to move forward after the first session, I will do 6 sessions only with your child and then we will have another session only with the parents to discuss and review the Therapeutic process. In case your child still need some support, we will do more sessions and I will always work together with you, sending feedbacks and planning sessions in order to review the process.  If we decide to end the Therapeutic process, I will need 4 more sessions to make a proper ending with the child.

Remember that Therapy is a process, children needs time to build trust and consistency and a proper ending is very important for them.

I do not offer Diagnoses and I don´t apply Psychological tests.
