How I work with this

In working with children, I use play therapy and observation. In parallel, I work with parents: explaining what lies behind the child's behavior and helping to build more sensitive interaction. Children's age — from 3 years old.

Do you recognise yourself?

  • aggressiveness and tantrums
  • withdrawal and alienation
  • hyperactivity
  • difficulties communicating with peers
  • adaptation problems

If you recognised 3+ points — it is a good reason to talk to a psychologist.

Approach & Methodology

When a Child's Behavior Is a Concern

Tantrums, aggression, hyperactivity, withdrawal — these are not "bad behavior," but signals about the child's inner state. Children cannot express in words what they feel, and communicate through actions. A child psychoanalyst helps to understand the child's language and restore connection.

  • Frequent tantrums and aggression outbursts
  • Hyperactivity and concentration difficulties
  • Withdrawal and refusal to communicate
  • Adaptation difficulties in kindergarten or school

Questions & Answers

At what age might a child need a psychologist? +

A child psychologist can help from as early as 2–3 years old. Up to 6–7 years old, the primary work is done through parents. Older children can attend sessions independently.

How should I behave with my child between sessions? +

After each session, I provide parents with specific recommendations. Changes in a child occur primarily through changes in the environment surrounding them.
