Psychological counselling for children and adolescents

UPDATED !!! Due to high demand, we are unfortunately forced to temporarily close the waiting list for Dutch-speaking clients. This means that we will not be able to admit any additional clients until the waiting list is reduced again, we suspect it will be reopened from September. This applies to the Dutch-language applications for sessions after school hours, French-speaking and English-speaking applications will still be admitted. If the child or young person is available for counselling during school hours, it is best to contact one of the Dutch-speaking psychologists by telephone.

If you notice that your child is not feeling well, is struggling at home or at school, you can come to us for support.

Every family goes through difficult periods. But when these persist for a long time, you may feel that you seem stuck as a family. Sometimes these difficulties seem to exceed your capabilities and ideas and resources become exhausted. You can then use psychological counselling for your child, adolescent or family.

Concerns you can go to:

•  your child is not feeling well in his/her skin
• Trauma
• dissociation
• grief processing
• anger
• difficult behaviour
• difficulty eating or sleeping
• fear
• uncertainty
• low self-confidence
• irritability
• depressed mood or mood swings
• Bullying, arguments, being excluded
• communication difficulties in the family
• development questions
• parenting questions
• divorce
• learning disabilities
• social skills training (individual or group)
• ...

If you are not sure whether your concerns qualify, do not hesitate to contact us. Together we can discuss what may be the appropriate help for you.

Psychodiagnostic testing for children and adolescents     
You can also come to us for a psychodiagnostic examination. This may be intelligence testing or a broader diagnostic test. Questions for a broader examination often concern your child's developmental level, concentration and attention, memory, social skills, etc.

We also think it is important to have an eye for your child's environment. We can do perception research for this purpose. This can also be done within ongoing counselling so that we can use it to fine-tune psychological counselling.

We also collaborate with child psychiatrists in the area in this context.
