Psychotherapy for children

Children often express their inner world through play, drawings and stories rather than words.

Play therapy. In work with children, play is approached as the main language through which a child can tell what they are going through. Through toys, drawings and stories the child has the opportunity to express their experiences, worries and wishes; the therapist listens closely to this play and makes sense of it together with the child.

Parent counselling. The process is supported by regular meetings with the parents. These meetings explore the meanings behind the child’s behaviour and the relationships within the family.

The first meeting is usually with the parents, where the child’s development and the reason for seeking help are discussed. Sessions are held in person or online.
