Child psychology is a fundamental area for children’s emotional, cognitive and behavioural development.
Psychological counselling not only helps resolve immediate issues, but also provides tools for the child to develop a healthy and balanced emotional life.
Consulting a child counsellor can be an important step in supporting your child’s healthy growth and well-being at home, at school and in life.
Psychological counselling helps children understand and manage their emotions, avoiding problems and improving interaction with their peers, parents and teachers.
In child psychology consultations, children learn to trust and express their feelings in a healthy way, which contributes to the development of positive self-esteem and greater emotional resilience.
In these consultations, the guidance of parents is not forgotten, since improving family communication is fundamental for a harmonious and welcoming environment, which is positively reflected in the child’s behaviour.
Child psychology helps develop social skills such as empathy, conflict resolution and the ability to form healthy friendships.
Psychological support in childhood can prevent emotional or behavioural problems from worsening in the future by helping children develop emotional self-defence mechanisms.
Psychological counselling in adolescence plays a fundamental role in supporting the healthy development of young people in a phase full of changes and challenges.
With the right counselling, teenagers can develop emotional and cognitive tools to help them overcome obstacles with greater balance, self-confidence and mental well-being.
Psychology also helps teenagers prepare for the challenges of adult life, such as career choices, the transition to university or entering the labour market.
Specialists
At GOLDMED, we understand that the concept of health is not limited to medical consultations but is much broader. That’s why we have created a Vocational
Guidance Consultation dedicated to adolescents undergoing a process of self-discovery and exploration of interests, skills, and values. This consultation aims to help young people make more informed academic and career choices.
Guidance provided by the psychologist is essential as it allows young people to better understand their aptitudes and interests at a pivotal time in life, full of decisions and discoveries.
Benefits of vocational guidance for adolescents:
Specialists
The psychology consultation assesses how the patient deals with their emotions, such as anxiety, sadness, anger and frustration, and how they react in situations of bereavement and trauma.
After this assessment, the psychologist works to promote a healthy emotional balance.
Psychological counselling not only helps treat immediate emotional issues, but also helps build tools to face future challenges with greater resilience and emotional balance.
In adolescent and adult psychology consultations, the psychologist uses EMDR therapy to help with ego states, dissociation, borderline disorder, bipolar disorder, depressive disorder, eating disorders, psychotraumatology, bereavement and grief.
EMDR therapy and regular counselling are fundamental tools for helping the clients of this consultation.
The consultation on pregnant women’s and babies’ sleep is carried out by a psychologist who specialises in this subject.
Pregnant women often experience changes in their sleep and feel more tired as a result.
With the pregnant woman’s wellbeing and the correct development of the foetus in mind, the psychologist will teach you how to improve your hours of sleep and rest during pregnancy.
Baby sleep is an important part of paediatric care, as adequate sleep is essential for a child’s healthy growth and development.
Inadequate sleep jeopardises cognitive and emotional development, as well as physical growth.
With the child’s correct development and the parents’ rest in mind, GOLDMED offers a baby’s sleep consultation where an assessment is made and recommendations are given for improving the health of the whole family.
Neurodevelopmental Psychology Consultation
GOLDMED offers a dedicated Neurodevelopmental Psychology consultation aimed at the assessment and follow-up of children and adolescents who may present difficulties in their cognitive, emotional, social, or behavioural development.
This consultation is conducted by psychologists specialised in child and adolescent development, with training and experience in clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and educational psychology. The goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the child’s functioning, identifying their abilities, difficulties, and potential, in order to guide appropriate interventions and promote well-being.
The Neurodevelopmental Psychology Consultation focuses on different developmental domains, such as:
Attention, memory, and other cognitive functions;
Language, communication, and learning;
Motor skills and coordination;
Behaviour, emotional regulation, and relationships with others;
Social skills and autonomy.
What screenings can be carried out
During the assessment, screening for neurodevelopmental disorders may be performed, such as:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD);
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD);
Specific Learning Disorders (such as dyslexia or dyscalculia);
Intellectual Developmental Disorders or Motor Coordination Disorders.
The main objective of this consultation is to identify potential difficulties at an early stage, understand their causes, and define personalised intervention strategies. Ongoing follow-up helps guide parents, caregivers, and teachers, supporting the child’s harmonious development and success across different areas of life.
Timely intervention is essential to enhance development and prevent future difficulties. A careful assessment allows for the design of an effective support plan and contributes to the child’s healthy and balanced growth, respecting their individual pace and needs.
