Frequently Asked Questions

    Clear answers about assessment, therapy, and family collaboration.

    How do I know if my child needs therapy?

    If you notice difficulties in behaviour, communication, emotion regulation, relationships, or school performance, a psychological assessment can help clarify needs and choose the right intervention.

    What happens in the first session?

    The first session is for assessment and getting to know each other. The specialist talks with the parent (and, depending on age, with the child) to understand context, difficulties, and therapy goals.

    How long does a therapy session last?

    A session usually lasts 45–50 minutes, though duration may vary depending on the child’s age and type of intervention.

    How long does the therapeutic process take?

    Duration depends on the child’s individual needs. Some goals may be reached within a few months, while others require longer-term support.

    How can parents be involved in the therapeutic process?

    Parental involvement is essential. The specialist provides periodic feedback, home recommendations, and discusses strategies to support the child’s progress.

    How do I know that therapy is working?

    Progress in therapy can be seen through gradual changes in the child’s behaviour, communication, emotion regulation, and relationships. The specialist will discuss progress with parents regularly, adjust the intervention plan as needed, and set clear, measurable goals together.

    Do you collaborate with children’s nurseries or schools?

    Yes. We collaborate with teaching staff and school or nursery personnel when necessary and with parental consent, to support the child in the educational setting. This collaboration helps monitor progress, adapt strategies, and ensure continuity between therapy and school.
