Counselling and Psychological Support Services
Many children and adolescents experience emotional or behavioural difficulties at some time. Others may experience difficulties with aspects of learning. With luck, such problems resolve quickly, but sometimes they require investigation, intervention or support.
Foundations for Learning has a well-established system of counselling and psychological support and assessment in a caring and friendly environment with experienced and highly qualified psychologists. We also offer support for parent and teachers and are able to provide tailor made workshops or training.
Counselling and Psychological Support
We offer counselling and psychological support for children of all ages. Adult support is also available. Psychological support varies in form based on the specific needs of the child/adolescent or adult practitioners are working with and is discussed prior to support commencing. Common themes that form the basis of referral are low mood, worries, stress, relationship issues, bullying, obsessive behaviours, anger management and more general issues with dealing with the transition to a new country.
These services are available in Spanish, Dutch or French as well as English.
