parent counseling - Professional support for parents in Denmark
Parent consultations can help you navigate challenges and strengthen your parenting. At Charlottenlund Private Hospital, we offer evidence-based support focused on both you and your child.
What are parent consultations?
Parent consultations are structured sessions focused on supporting parents in their role as caregivers. Unlike couples therapy, where the relationship between the partners is the main focus, parent consultations aim to strengthen cooperation between parents and create the best possible conditions for the child’s well-being. The sessions can be tailored to your specific needs and situation, whether you are together as a couple or not.
Individual and joint sessions
Parent consultations can take place individually, as a couple or with both parents together. The format is always adapted to your unique situation so that the sessions are as effective as possible for you and your child.
When are parent consultations relevant?
Parent consultations can be helpful in many different situations, such as concerns about your child’s well-being, disagreements about parenting or following a separation or divorce. It is never too early to seek support — even a short course of sessions can often help prevent greater challenges from developing.
Common challenges
Disagreements about structure, boundaries or parenting approaches are among the most common challenges that parent consultations can help address.
Parent consultations during your child’s treatment
When a child is receiving treatment at Charlottenlund Private Hospital, parents are actively involved in the process. Research shows that children can benefit more from treatment when parents are involved and have practical tools to support their child in everyday life.
Practical strategies
We provide practical strategies for supporting your child without unintentionally maintaining the difficulties, as well as tools to help avoid common parenting pitfalls.
Co-parenting after divorce
After a divorce, cooperating around the children can be challenging. Parent consultations focus on creating a shared understanding of the child’s needs and establishing clear agreements around communication and structure.
Preventing conflict
We help separate difficulties from the former relationship from the parenting role, so that cooperation can remain focused on the child’s well-being.
