Child therapy in Copenhagen

When your child is struggling, it can be hard to know what they need. You might notice more tears, angry outbursts, worry, or a wish to be alone. School mornings may become harder. Your child may seem unlike themselves, yet struggle to tell you why.

At Village Therapy, we offer child therapy and support for parents in central Copenhagen. We take time to understand your child and what is happening around them. Together, we explore what could help at home, at school, and in their relationships.

When might a child need support?

You do not need to know exactly what is wrong before getting in touch. You may want help understanding a change in your child or a difficulty that keeps coming back.

Reasons parents seek support include:

• Worry, fears, or finding it hard to be apart

• Strong feelings that are hard to manage

• Frequent conflict at home

• Sadness, withdrawal, or loss of interest in play

• Friendship problems or feeling left out

• Stress linked to school or childcare

• Grief, family changes, or parents separating

• Adjusting to a move, a new language, or life abroad

These concerns can have different causes. Our first step is to learn more about your child and discuss which kind of support may fit their needs.

What happens in child therapy? Play, creativity and conversation.

Children express themselves in different ways. Some want to talk. Others find it easier to show their feelings through play, drawing, stories, or movement.

Your child therapist shapes sessions around your child’s age, needs, and pace. They take time to build trust and help your child feel at ease. Your child does not need to arrive ready to explain everything.

We work with children through play, creative activities, and conversation. Your therapist can help your child build coping skills, such as asking for help, handling worry, and finding ways to express strong feelings.

How are parents involved?

Parents are an important part of the work. You know your child in ways the therapist does not. Your observations help us understand what has changed, what feels hard, and what already helps.

Depending on your child’s needs, the work may include meetings with parents, sessions with your child, or time together. Your therapist will discuss a plan with you.

Parent meetings give you space to ask questions and learn how to support your child at home. You might explore how to respond during an outburst, ease a difficult morning, or help your child cope with change.

Your therapist will also explain privacy and how updates are shared. This includes how your child can have space of their own while you stay involved in their care.

Support for children growing up between cultures

A move to Denmark can bring changes in language, friendships, school, and family life. Children may miss people and places they cannot easily visit. They may feel at home in more than one culture, or unsure where they belong.

Parents may be adjusting at the same time. You might be learning a new school system or raising children with less help from family.

You can bring these experiences into therapy. We explore what the changes mean for your child and how you can support them.

How do we get started?

Start by contacting us with your child’s age and a short description of your concerns. You can share what you have noticed and what kind of help you are looking for.

Early conversations focus on your child’s needs, your family’s situation, and what you have already tried. We can then discuss whether child therapy, parent guidance, family therapy, or another service may be useful.

Before booking, your therapist will explain who should attend the first meeting and what to expect.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a diagnosis before contacting you?

No. You can contact us because you are worried or want help understanding your child. If an assessment or another service seems needed, we can discuss that with you.

What if my child does not want to talk?

Children do not always express themselves through words. Play and creative activities can give them other ways to share their experience. Let the therapist know about your child’s worries before the first meeting.

Can we seek support as parents?

Yes. You can contact us for parent guidance, even if you are unsure whether your child needs their own sessions. We can discuss the difficulties you face and possible next steps.

How many sessions will my child need?

This depends on your child’s needs and the goals of the work. Your therapist will discuss a plan with you and review how things are going. The plan may change as we learn more.

Which ages and languages do you work with?

This varies by therapist. Please tell us your child’s age and the languages they feel comfortable using. We can help you check who may be a suitable fit.

Do you offer support for older children and adolescents?

We also offer therapy for teens. Young people may need space to talk about school, friendships, family life, or how they feel about themselves. Visit our therapy for teens page, or contact us with your child’s age so we can discuss a suitable therapist.
