Behavioural problems

Children and teenagers can show a variety of behavioural problems; 
Your child easily gets angry or frustrated. 
Or struggles to connect with peers. 
Your child can get anxious, so much so that it interferes with their daily life. 
Your previously happy and lively child now frequently seems to be sad, and withdraws themself more and more. 

In some cases you might like to find out whether or not your child has ADHD or autism for example. In other cases, you might just want some help for your child to become less anxious or angry. 

School and learning difficulties

There are many problems that can occur at school. Your child might not find school challenging enough and gets bored, or your child experiences great difficulty keeping up with the pace. Issues regarding reading, spelling or mathematics may also arise. The problems might be caused by cognitive developmental delays (mild intellectual disability), by giftedness (highly intelligent), or by dyslexia or dyscalculia. 

Other common issues in school – among many others - are fear of failure, being bullied or feeling extremely insecure. 

Motivational problems often occur among high school students. In addition, they might struggle with the whole concept of “learning to learn” (the learning process itself). 

Trauma

Some children have experienced trauma in their childhood. This could be, for example, the divorce of parents, but it could also be a traffic accident, a fire, the loss of a loved one, sexual abuse or violence. A trauma arises because the traumatic event is not properly processed. If a trauma is not treated, sooner or later a child or teenager can become burdened by the trauma they experienced. 

Persistent Physical Symptoms without medical cause 

Many children suffer from physical discomfort, while there is no obvious medical problem that causes the discomfort. The general practitioner or pediatrician has examined the child, but without result. Many of these children often already had help from a physiotherapist, again without much result. For these children, the cause of their physical discomforts may be something psychological. Common discomforts are headaches and stomach aches. Other examples are sleeping and/or eating problems, tics, compulsion or bed-wetting. 
These kind of problems are called: Persistent physical symptoms (formerly known as medically unexplained physical symptoms)
