Child psychologist
A child psychologist works with children and their families — often through play, drawing and conversations pitched at the child's age, and almost always with the parents close to the work. Enquiries typically concern anxiety and school refusal, sadness, anger and outbursts, sleep, grief after a death or a divorce, bullying, or making sense of an assessment for ADHD or autism. The first meeting is usually with the parents alone, so the psychologist can hear the story without the child having to sit through it, and a plan is agreed from there. Parents can contact a private practice psychologist directly and do not need a referral. If the child has a GP referral to a psychologist with a ydernummer, children and young people are in several cases exempt from paying their own share — ask your GP what applies in your case. The municipality's educational psychology service (PPR) also offers free advice through the school or daycare. Below are the psychologists on FindPsyk who see children.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child talk to a psychologist?
When a reaction persists and takes up room in everyday life: the child withdraws from friends or school, sleeps or eats markedly differently, is very sad or angry, or has been through something hard such as a divorce, a death or bullying.
Do we need a referral?
No, you can contact a private practice psychologist directly. A referral from your GP is only needed for the public subsidy, and it requires one of the recognised referral reasons.
What does it cost for a child?
Without a referral you pay the psychologist's full fee. With a referral to a psychologist who holds a ydernummer, children and young people are in several cases exempt from paying their own share — ask your GP what applies to you.
Is there free help through the municipality?
Yes. The municipality's educational psychology service (PPR) offers free advice and assessment through the school or daycare. Waiting times vary from municipality to municipality.
