What child therapy can support

Child therapy can support children experiencing emotional, behavioural, or developmental challenges.
​​Support is always adapted to each child’s age, personality, and situation.

Emotional wellbeing and anxiety
Support for children who feel worried, overwhelmed, or struggle with emotional regulation. Therapy helps children understand feelings, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in managing everyday situations.

Behavioural and emotional regulation
Helping children manage frustration, impulsivity, anger, or difficulty following routines and boundaries. Sessions focus on building self awareness, communication skills, and practical strategies that work both at home and school.

Social confidence and relationships
Support for children who find it difficult to make friends, manage social situations, or build confidence with peers. Therapy can help develop communication skills, emotional understanding, and positive relationship patterns.

School related challenges and confidence building
Helping children who struggle with school adjustment, learning related stress, low confidence, or motivation. Therapy helps build emotional resilience and supports children in feeling more secure in academic and social environments.

How child therapy sessions work

Child therapy is personalised to each child and family. We focus on building trust, understanding the child’s needs,
​and developing practical strategies that support long term progress.

Step 1
Understanding your child and family needs
We begin by speaking with parents to understand concerns, goals, background, and daily routines at home and school.
This helps us determine whether therapy is appropriate and which therapeutic approach may be most helpful.
Where appropriate, we also gather input from schools or other professionals involved in the child’s support.

Step 2
Building trust and starting therapy sessions
Sessions are designed to help children feel safe, comfortable, and understood, allowing them to express themselves in
a supportive environment. Therapists use age appropriate methods such as conversation, play based techniques, or
structured activities depending on the child’s age and needs. Therapy focuses on helping children understand emotions,
develop coping strategies, and build confidence in everyday situations.

Step 3
Progress support and collaboration
Therapy evolves as the child develops. Therapists provide regular feedback to parents and, when helpful, collaborate with
schools or other professionals involved in the child’s support. This ensures children receive consistent support across home,
​school, and social environments.

How therapy is adapted to your child and family

Therapy support is designed to fit naturally into each family’s routine while
​helping children receive consistent, professional support.

Therapy in a familiar environment
Sessions usually take place in the child’s home, helping children feel comfortable, safe, and more open to engaging in therapy.
Home based therapy also allows support to be integrated
​ into daily routines.

Multilingual therapy support
Sessions are available in English and Spanish, with additional language options depending on therapist availability. This helps children express themselves comfortably and supports international and local families living in Barcelona and Madrid.

Adapted to age and development
Therapy is suitable for children and teenagers approximately aged 2 to 16 years, with methods adapted to each stage of development, personality, and individual needs.

Flexible scheduling for families
Sessions are arranged around school schedules, family routines, and availability, helping therapy remain consistent and manageable for families.
