Both children and adolescents are immersed in a continuous process of change, with a very different functioning from that of adults. Likewise, their problems usually manifest themselves in a different way. Therefore, it is very important to have a differential therapeutic intervention that takes into account all these aspects.

It is the mothers and fathers who, of their own accord or at the suggestion of teachers or other professionals who are in contact with the youngsters, usually come to the psychological consultation.

The most frequent reasons for consultation in childhood tend to be, among others:

• Childhood fears or phobias (darkness, animals, danger, medical situations, criticism…).
• Alterations in daily behavior (frequent anger, impulsivity, lack of attention, isolation, confrontations, victimhood…).
• Separation anxiety (fear and reaction of the child to the absence of the people to whom the child is most attached).
• Sleep disturbances (terrors and nightmares).
• Sphincter control
• School bullying

The adolescent problems for which most consultations are made coincide to a high degree with those of adults (anxiety, depression, addictions, eating disorders, bullying, etc) but their symptomatology may be different and their treatment must be specific.

At EyC Psicología we consider individual psychotherapy as well as working together with parents to be fundamental. We accompany and guide you in an individualized way according to the person through psychoeducation and guidelines that promote the independence of the child without forgetting the care towards them, reinforcing their self-esteem, promoting healthy habits, emotional self-regulation strategies and impulse control.

Sometimes it is also relevant to work on communication skills among family members, in order to promote positive interactions between them.

Always remember that the best legacy you can leave your children is that they love themselves as you love them.
