Counselling for children and parents in Budapest
I’m a Complex Integrative Child Therapist. In Budapest, I offer counselling for children and adolescents in English or Hungarian. I always look for what suits your child, rather than one method for everyone.
Parents know their children the best. But there can be times when a professional’s view helps: a new country, a new school, anxiety that won’t ease, a teenager who has gone quiet.
You can turn to me with:
- Behavioural difficulties
- Psychosomatic symptoms: stomach aches, headaches, nausea, hair pulling
- Anxiety and separation difficulties
- Mood difficulties
- Learning, performance and attention problems
- Teenage identity, self-esteem and friendships
How we work
I love the honest, playful world of children, and I especially enjoy the way teenagers think. Parents are part of the process: as things ease for the child, life at home can get easier too.
What a session looks like
A session lasts 50 minutes. With younger children it’s often more playful; with teenagers there’s more talking and other integrative tools are used. We agree together how often to meet.
In person or online
We can meet in person in Budapest, or online when that’s safer or simpler, for example when you’re travelling. With children, meeting in person is often richer; online works when it genuinely fits.
When this practice isn’t the right fit
This is private counselling, not emergency care or a child psychiatry service. If your child is in immediate danger, call 112. If clinical or medical care is needed, I will inform you, and advise where to turn next.
Common questions
- Do parents take part?
- Yes. I only work with a child together with the parents. How we share the time depends on the child’s age and the situation.
- Do you see children in English?
- Yes. Sessions for children and teenagers are available in English or Hungarian, including for expat families in Budapest.
