Individual Therapy

Issues addressed in therapy

Difficulties experienced by children and teenagers can take many forms. They may affect every area of life and have a lasting impact on development.

Their distress appears through a variety of symptoms. The therapist’s role is to support the child or adolescent by addressing the underlying psychological or psychosomatic causes:

• Relational difficulties: family or social.

• Emotional difficulties: stress, anxiety, depression, repeated or intense anger, self-harm, deep sadness, intrusive dark thoughts.

• Physiological difficulties: toileting issues (bedwetting or daytime urinary leaks, accidents or difficulties with bowel movements), sleep problems, recurring physical complaints.

• Life events: loss, major events, trauma.

• Risk-taking behaviors: self-endangerment, early substance use, impulsive or reckless actions.

• Specific difficulties: hyperactivity, eating disorders, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, addictions, sexual concerns.

• Psychopathological conditions: autism, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive neurosis, etc.

An initial session helps determine whether therapy is recommended.‍
