Child and Adolescent Therapy

Play therapy and parent counselling

Child and Adolescent Therapy

Play therapy, cognitive-behavioural work and parent guidance for children and adolescents aged 4–17.

2,400 TRY per session

Children often express feelings through play and behaviour rather than words. In child and adolescent therapy, play, drawing and stories are used to reach the child's inner world, while regular sessions with parents strengthen support at home.

When do families come?

  • Difficulty adjusting to school, separation anxiety, exam anxiety
  • Anger outbursts, lying, defiant behaviour
  • Difficulty with friendships, peer bullying
  • Effects of life changes such as divorce, moving or loss
  • Night fears, bedwetting and sleep problems

The process

The first meeting is with the parents; then 3–4 assessment sessions are planned with the child or adolescent. Play therapy is used for ages 4–11, and a cognitive-behavioural approach with talk-based sessions for ages 12–17. A feedback meeting with parents is held every 6 sessions while the child's privacy is protected.

If attention deficit or autism spectrum is suspected, we refer to child psychiatry for diagnostic evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the first call free?
In the 20-minute call we listen to you and decide on the specialist and approach that suit your need. The aim is to spare you from paying before the right match is found.
How long are sessions and how often?
Individual sessions last 50 minutes and couple and family sessions 75 minutes. Most courses are weekly; frequency can increase during crisis or intensive work periods.
Is what I say really confidential?
Yes. Apart from a serious and imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected child abuse and a court order, no information is shared without your permission. Details are on the Ethical Principles page.
How long does therapy take?
The duration depends on the issue and the goal. Anxiety and panic may take 8–20 sessions, while working on deeper patterns may need 20 or more. We review progress together every 6 sessions.
Does a psychologist prescribe medication?
No. Medication assessment is the job of psychiatrists. When needed we refer you to psychiatrists we trust and share information with them with your permission.
