Psychological counselling for children and parents
A diagnosis of autism or a rare disease changes the life of the whole family. You don’t have to go through it alone.
Support for your child
The psychologist helps your child understand and express their emotions, cope with changes and new situations, build self-confidence and connect more easily with others. Activities are adapted to each child’s age and the way they communicate.
Support for parents
Parents of children with special needs often live with tiredness, worry, guilt or isolation. Psychological counselling gives you a safe space where you can talk openly and find resources for the road ahead. Most often we talk about:
- accepting the diagnosis and the first months after it;
- stress, fatigue and burnout;
- your relationship with your partner and with the other children in the family;
- communicating with the kindergarten, the school and relatives;
- the next steps for your child.
How we work
Conversations are confidential and go at your pace. The psychologist works closely with the centre’s other specialists, so that support for your child and your family is joined up.
