Children also struggle with problems that impact how they behave, feel, or learn.
In therapy, kids talk, play or draw and learn how to work out their problems. Therapy helps them feel better, cope better, communicate better, learn better and behave better.
If you notice your child has significant changes in their behaviour, mood, sleep, appetite, or school performance, they may need some help.
Therapy in Barcelona’s collaborating child & family therapists are compassionate professionals trained to identify issues and offer suitable strategies to help your child successfully navigate through difficulties.
What to Expect
The first session may include the parents, the parents and child, or the whole family. The therapist will ask about the presenting concern and take a developmental history. Depending on the issue, individual therapy for the child, or family therapy, or a combination may be recommended.
When working with children, art or play therapy are often used as these are the ways in which children best communicate their needs, wants, worries, and conflicts.
Children are best understood in the context of their family unit, so even in individual child therapy, the therapist may schedule sessions with parents to help them understand and provide the best environment for their child.
