Therapy for children

When children struggle with life, it's never because they are wrong. It's because their environment creates an imbalance. Therapy for children is therefore not just about the child - it's about the whole family.

When children are unhappy

It hurts your heart to see your child struggling. Sometimes unhappiness is expressed through anger, anxiety or sadness. Other times it manifests itself in physical symptoms, school refusal, sleep problems or social challenges. But no matter how it manifests itself, one thing is certain: Children are never the problem. They react to the environment they grow up in.

Children mirror the adults around them. Their behavior is often a narrative of what's happening in the family - the unspoken, the difficult, the unresolved. That's why working with the child alone in therapy is rarely enough. To create lasting change we must also look at the big picture - the relationships and dynamics that the child is a part of.

How we can help

At Stærkt Sind , we meet the child with presence and care. We use gentle forms of therapy that allow the child to express themselves without words if words are hard to find.

Our methods include:

Drawing therapy:
When words aren't enough, drawings can tell you what's hard to say out loud.
Sandplay therapy:
Through playing with figures, children can express emotions, process experiences and find new ways to deal with challenges.
Narrative therapy:
We help the child understand and reframe their own story so they can see themselves in a new and more positive light.

We work not only with the child, but also with the family. Sometimes small adjustments in everyday life are enough to make a big difference. Other times, one or more adults also need therapeutic support to create a healthier dynamic for the child.

What can trigger unhappiness in children?

There can be many reasons why a child is unhappy. Often it's a combination of several factors:

External causes:

Divorce or conflictual cohabitation in the home
Bullying or difficult social relationships
Major life changes (moving house, changing schools, death in the family)
Too high demands or pressure from school and leisure activities
Parental stress, unhappiness or mental health challenges

Inner experiences and reactions:

Low self-esteem and insecurity
Anxiety, anxiety or sadness
Anger, frustration and challenges regulating emotions
Problems with concentration and learning
Sleep problems or physical symptoms without a clear cause

We use a combination of talk therapy, NLP psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and PSYCH-K to help you break unhelpful patterns, regulate your nervous system and regain your inner balance.

That's what our clients say...

Carina demonstrates an invaluable ability to listen and create space for reflection and development.

For me, it has been crucial to feel welcomed and understood, which Carina manages with great awareness and care.

Through Carina's psychotherapeutic skills, I have gained new tools that have helped me find my inner strength and rebuild my belief in myself.

Her empathy and many human qualities have made her a particularly valuable support in my development process.

Laura

Psychology student

I have been seeing Carina for several years and have found her invaluable in helping me navigate through difficult times in my life. Through conversation, hypnotherapy, healing and her many exciting methods, I have experienced how she has opened up deeper layers in both my mind and body.

Every time I have visited Carina, she has gently guided me to work with the most vulnerable and sad places in me.

She has helped me to feel myself and process the difficult experiences I have carried with me - something I didn't think was possible in the same way before my time with her.

Carina is an incredibly likeable person who combines a deeply professional approach with a heart-warming empathy and empathy. She makes you feel not just like a client, but like the unique person you are.

I highly recommend Carina to anyone looking for a therapist with both professional expertise and a big heart.

Linda

Primary school teacher

I've heard myself say my values in relation to my working life out loud many times. And for a long time, I've been confident in prioritizing them. But then... something happened. During the values session with Carina, I was challenged to make a rather sharp prioritization of my values - the values I was convinced I knew inside and out.

It was... not just surprising, but surprisingly meaningful to suddenly see my own (new) priorities as a result of Carina's method and approach - and especially to feel that something fell into place inside. For the first time, I'm ready to go out and articulate what I'm looking for in my working life, because I know what - when the last bastion remains - is most important to me.

I can definitely recommend the method Carina uses for value clarification. I chose Carina to make my values clarification very broad, but with a focus on my working life.

I have 35 years of experience in the labor market, so I didn't expect any big surprises. I was wrong... A big thank you to you, Carina, for shifting my foundation stones after your value clarification. It will affect my working life in the future in a good way.

A values clarification is a great start to improving or changing important areas of your life - focusing on the area of your choice.

Claus Green

Quality and Development Manager, Metalwo A/S

I can highly recommend Carina and have benefited from her skills in connection with a value clarification.

This was a very positive experience where I experienced a free space with myself in the center, something that in a busy everyday life is often downgraded and in addition, it was a super healthy exercise to calibrate my own compass for both my private and professional life, something that I can highly recommend regardless of job or title.

So if the compass needs recalibrating, Carina will get me on the phone.

Highest recommendations.

Kristoffer Falk Qvist

Head of Technology, HydraSpecma Renewables

I find it hard to put into words, but I feel different now than when I arrived.

I don't know what it is you're doing, but it must be some kind of hypnosis.

My arms feel like menthol...

It's strange because menthol is usually something you can taste, but I can feel it.

Christian

It's really strange, it feels like my spine is being pulled in by a magnet and I'm being straightened.

Anita

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful treatment you gave me on Wednesday.

I was impressed with how accurately you spotted my imbalances.

I feel that my energy level has been lifted to a higher level since I've been with you.

I am very grateful for what you gave.
