In addition to an initial consultation with the parents, the following components are part of every family therapy and can be individually adapted as needed:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Treating children and young people requires special methods and a great deal of empathy. Systemic therapy always sees psychological and social problems as an interplay between individuals and their environment. For me, this means that children and young people are best treated in a family context. After an initial discussion with the parents to clarify the initial situation, all family members should then attend the sessions together. Experience has shown that this approach helps parents to see the family as a multi-perspective process. For children and young people, it is often important - supported by an emotionally uninvolved therapist - to receive a more differentiated assessment of the parents' point of view in order to then be able to work together on a constructive solution for everyone. The therapist's moderation gives everyone involved the chance to express their respective point of view and to be taken seriously. From many years of practical experience, I know that most initial situations in which parents seek therapeutic support are related to developmental problems or, more precisely, to adjustment problems (on all sides), which quickly become a problem in view of the already existing everyday demands and the often unexpected developmental leaps of children and young people. Part of my family therapy offer is therefore always parent coaching with regard to normal or age-appropriate developmental processes in children and young people.
