Psychologists & thearpies for children and adolescents

Therapy for children

The child is a being under construction, and each stage of development is an adventure. The difficulties encountered are often fleeting, but they can sometimes become entrenched and cause the child to suffer. This unhappiness is not often expressed in words, and can manifest itself through certain behaviors or signs. It's not often that the request comes directly from the child, and usually it's the parents, or the professionals working with the child, who initiate the request for consultation, in order to better understand the difficulties the child is experiencing.

The reasons for these consultations are many and varied: relationship difficulties, sleep disorders, bedwetting, signs of sadness, anxiety... Work with a child always begins with a meeting with the parents, to get to know each other and discuss the reasons behind the approach.

Together, we work out the most appropriate support for the child. Depending on the situation, we can receiving the single parentbefore receiving the parent and child.

Therapy for adolescents

Adolescence marks the start of a process of change, bringing together major physical, cognitive and emotional transformations. As such, it is a particular phase of both physical and psychological evolution. When adolescents present difficulties or disorders, it may be the expression of suffering or malaise that they are unable to name as such. The reasons for consulting a doctor during adolescence are many and varied, and may include withdrawal, changes at school, somatic symptoms, behavioural, sleep or concentration problems, aggressive or heterogeneous behaviour, or a loss of self-confidence.

A place to talk in session with a psychologist allows you to share your difficulties, and work out certain issues. For example, a psychological support can sometimes be necessary to help the teenager understand what's going on for him/her, to gain some distance, to associate words with feelings, or to help him/her find solutions adapted to the situation.

In addition to the child's or teenager's care, parents can also be seen by the psychologist and listened to about their concerns, or supported in their educational choices.
