Child and adolescent counselling in Budapest
I am a qualified Complex Integrative Child Therapist. In Budapest I offer counselling for children and adolescents, in English or Hungarian. I look for what genuinely suits this child — not a method in the abstract.

Parents know their children best. Still, there are seasons — a new country, a new school, anxiety that does not ease, a teenager who has gone quiet — when another professional view helps. I lived abroad as a child myself, and I have accompanied international families in Hungary for fifteen years.
Who it is for
- Behavioural difficulties
- Psychosomatic symptoms — abdominal pain, headache, nausea, hair pulling
- Anxiety and separation difficulties
- Mood difficulties
- Learning and performance-related problems, attention difficulties
- Adolescent identity, self-esteem and peer relationships
How we work
I love the honest, playful world of children, and I especially enjoy the thinking of adolescents. Parents are part of the process: as the child’s situation eases, the relationship at home can feel lighter too.
What a session looks like
A session is 50 minutes. With younger children the time is often more playful; with adolescents there is more conversation. We agree together how often we meet. I do not diagnose from a website, and I do not promise that a difficulty will disappear in a few meetings.
In Budapest, and online
We can meet in person in Budapest, or online when that is safer or simpler — for example if you travel. For children, in-person work is often richer; online is possible when it genuinely fits.
When this is not the right fit
This is private counselling, not emergency care and not a child-psychiatry service. If your child is in immediate danger, call 112. If you need a clinical or medical pathway, I will say so, and we can think together about where to turn.
Questions about this work
- Do parents take part?
- Yes. When I work with a child, I also work with the parents. How we share the time depends on the child’s age and the situation.
- Do you see children in English?
- Yes. Child and adolescent sessions are available in English or Hungarian — including for expat families in Budapest.
- Is this child psychotherapy?
- I am a psychologist and a Complex Integrative Child Therapist. I do not use the protected title psychotherapist. The work is counselling and accompaniment, not a medical treatment.
