Parent consultation · on request

Support for the adults around a young person.

For parents whose children — adolescents or young adults — are in psychotherapy with me. A place for your own questions and worries, and for finding ways to accompany your child while their sessions stay confidential.

Your child has a space of their own. You need one too.

Parents often make psychotherapy possible for their child — and naturally have questions of their own. You may feel worried, unsure or helpless, and at the same time you want to respect that the sessions belong to your child.

Many parents wonder how to help without taking over: when to ask and when to wait, when to set a boundary and when simply to stay close.

What happens in a young person’s psychotherapy also moves something in the family. Conversations may change, roles can shift, and familiar patterns become more visible. Parent consultations make room for all of this — outside your child’s sessions.

What a consultation can offer

More clarity, less guesswork.

Knowing what to expect

How psychotherapy works, what its frame looks like and what you can realistically hope for — without the content of your child’s sessions.

Making sense of reactions

Seen from a nervous-system perspective, withdrawal, conflict, irritability or stress often become easier to understand — and easier not to take personally.

Your questions, your next steps

Time for your own worries and questions, and practical ideas for everyday life at home: when to step in, and when to give space.

Confidentiality

Support for you, confidentiality for your child.

Trust is the foundation of psychotherapy — especially for young people. That is why the frame is clear from the outset.

Your child’s sessions stay confidential

What a young person talks about in sessions stays between us. It is this protected space that makes honest work possible.

The focus is your perspective

We talk about your observations, your questions and how you can support your child — not about what comes up in their sessions.

Clearly defined limits

Confidentiality has legal and ethical limits, for example when someone’s safety is at risk. I explain them openly at the very beginning — to the young person and to you.

Nothing behind the young person’s back

Consultations take place with your child’s knowledge. This openness protects the trust that psychotherapy depends on.

Format

How it works in practice.

The rhythm is agreed individually — often one consultation at the start, then further ones occasionally along the way.

Questions

What parents often ask.

Will I find out what my child talks about?

No — the content of the sessions stays confidential. In consultations we talk about your observations, your questions and what might help at home. The only exceptions are the legal and ethical limits of confidentiality, for example when someone’s safety is at risk; I explain them openly at the start. And if your child wants to tell you about their sessions, that is always their choice.

Does my child know about the consultation?

Yes. Your child knows that we meet and what these conversations are for. This openness matters: it is easier for a young person to trust psychotherapy when nothing happens behind their back.

How often do we meet?

There is no fixed rhythm. Often we meet once at the start of your child’s psychotherapy and then occasionally along the way — for example when something changes at home or new questions come up. We agree on the frequency individually.

Can both parents come — also separately?

Yes. You can come together, or one of you can come alone. If your situation calls for it — for example when parents live apart — separate consultations are also possible. We decide this together.

Can the consultation take place online?

Yes. Consultations take place in Łódź or online via secure video, in English or Polish. For an online consultation, it helps to find a quiet room where you can speak freely without being overheard.

You don’t have to work it all out alone.

A few lines are enough — one parent can write for both. I usually reply within two working days.
