More about education →

A child psychoanalyst plays an important role in supporting and helping parents understand and resolve issues related to the psychology and development of their children.

How I can help parents:

  • Understand the characteristics of child development and behavior: navigate development stages, needs, and psychological processes.
  • Understand emotional needs and problems: assistance with anxiety, stress, behavioral problems, and other emotional challenges.
  • Get support in the parenting process: navigate discipline strategies, boundary setting, and learning organization.
  • Recognize and resolve conflicts: understand role dynamics, communication styles, and foster healthy family relationships.
  • Provide psychological support: understand your reactions, express your own emotions and issues related to parenting.

Work format (What happens in sessions)

The work requires extensive knowledge and skills, as well as an understanding of the child's psyche. I conduct individual consultations with the child and their parents, using various methods and techniques (play therapy, drawing, talk sessions) adapted specifically for children.

My goal is to create a trusting relationship with the child, provide support, and help them develop emotional awareness, communication skills, and problem-solving strategies.

Interaction with parents and outcomes

In addition to working with the child, I always interact with parents, providing them with information, support, and guidance on parenting. You will gain an understanding of your child's psychological needs, as well as specific strategies and methods for solving problems.

This work not only helps children overcome their difficulties and develop, but also fosters a favorable environment for their future growth. My role is to help you build a healthy mental state for your child and prepare them for successful adaptation in the world.

Questions & Answers

Do you work with children without parents present? +

It depends on the child's age and the request. With children under 6–7, I usually work through the parents. Older children can attend sessions independently.
