Parents and family

Parenting advice offers you personal support with a wide range of questions and concerns relating to everyday parenting with your child. It doesn't matter whether these are minor issues typical for your child's age or major concerns:

Occasions for educational counseling can be, for example

• You are worried about your child's development or behavior
• Your child seems anxious, lonely or often angry and sad
• there are conflicts between siblings
• In the toddler phase, defiant behavior and violent tantrums become more frequent
• there are conflicts with your son or daughter during puberty
• You have questions about your child's media consumption or are worried about it

• You have general questions about dealing with rules and setting boundaries in the family

When it comes to issues that affect the whole family or changes that everyone should be involved in, it makes sense to consult with the whole family.

Family counseling, for example, can help:

• create a more relaxed atmosphere in the family
• to treat each other with respect again
• mediate in family conflicts

• finding a helpful way of dealing with stressful events and family crises together

Separation is always a very difficult time for the family. As a parent, you not only have to be there for the children, you also have to find your own way of dealing with the separation and reorganize your life. The children feel torn between the two parents and have to gradually adjust to a life in two worlds.

Our services aim to support both parents and children in this phase of life. Among other things, we offer

• Advice for both parents, together or individually
• Support in the development of contact agreements
• Mediation
• Talks for children and young people
• Advice for patchwork families

When children are still very young and you have perhaps just become parents for the first time, there are often a lot of questions. We therefore offer quick and uncomplicated help for parents with babies and toddlers, e.g:

• if your baby is very irritable and can hardly be soothed
• if your baby cries often and for long periods of time
• if your child has difficulty falling asleep in the evening or keeps waking up at night and cannot go back to sleep.
• if you are unsure about how to deal with your baby or have questions about this
  
  

Initial appointments for parents of babies and toddlers are possible at short notice within 1-2 weeks!

We advise parents and help children with all psychological issues and difficulties that may arise in connection with school. We work with you to find suitable solutions. With your consent, we will consult with the school if necessary. If it makes sense from a professional point of view, we also offer psychological testing.

Reasons for school psychological counseling can be, for example

• if your child has persistent performance problems at school
• if the child has particular difficulties with reading, writing or arithmetic
• if your child goes to school with anxiety or is suspected of being bullied
• if your child is aggressive or unmotivated at school
• if it develops absenteeism at school

• if there are problems with homework

Sexual assault and sexualized violence are a massive attack on the physical and emotional integrity of children and young people. The Psychological Counselling Centre therefore offers a specialized counselling service for affected children and adolescents and their caregivers.
