Integrative child therapy

This brief, question-led psychotherapy is tailored to each child. The support uses different forms of therapy and actively involves parents.

• Therapeutic play
• Drama
• Creative materials
• Metaphors
• Guided imagery
• Conversations

Who it is for

Integrative child therapy is intended for children aged 4 to 12. The practice lists issues including physical complaints with no medical cause, emotional conflicts, behavioural problems and difficulties connecting with others.

• Children aged 4 to 12
• Children with problematic habits, fears or behavioural problems
• Children with sleep, eating or toilet-training problems
• Children with learning difficulties or distinctive traits

Sibling coaching

Sibling coaching is for brothers and sisters who often argue, feel jealous or want to understand each other better. The children attend the practice together without their parents; parents also receive coaching during parent meetings.

Approach

After registration, there is a telephone call and an initial meeting with the parents. The first five sessions with the child explore the complaint, wishes and available resources; after that, a parent meeting is held after every five sessions.

• Initial telephone contact
• Initial meeting with parents
• First five sessions with the child
