Online and in Yerevan · sessions in Armenian and Russian
I have worked with children for many years: as a child psychologist at the Zargatsum centre, supporting children who had lived through violence, and with young athletes. Today I see children and adolescents online and in person in Yerevan. Sessions are held in Armenian or Russian only.
Children cannot always put into words what is going on with them. More often it shows in their behaviour, their sleep, their schoolwork. For anyone under 18, a parent or guardian registers on the site and books from their own account, and the work goes ahead with their consent.
Why people come
- Fears, anxiety, trouble sleeping
- Low mood, withdrawing, losing interest in everyday things
- Stress over school and exams, struggling to settle after a move or in a new school
- Changes in the family: divorce, a new brother or sister, a loss
- Angry outbursts, difficult behaviour, low self-confidence
- Changes after a frightening event: nightmares, new fears, a child who seems to have “gone backwards”
How I work
We usually start with a free 15-minute intro video call, often with the parent alone first. You tell me what worries you, and together we decide whether work is needed and in what format, taking your child’s age into account. Then I meet the child or teenager.
I choose the approach to suit the age and the difficulty: CBT, body-oriented techniques and, when indicated, EMDR if a frightening event lies behind the difficulties. With teenagers we practise concrete skills: handling anxiety, anger and the pressure of school. With young athletes we work on competition nerves and confidence.
Parents are part of the work too: I tell you in general terms what is happening and suggest how to support your child at home.
Frequently asked questions
From what age do you work with children?
We discuss age and format with the parent on the free intro call. I will tell you whether working with me suits your child, and if not, I will help you find a specialist.
How do I book for my child?
For a child or adolescent under 18, a parent or guardian registers on the site and books from their own account. The work goes ahead with their consent. The first step can be the free 15-minute intro video call.
Will you tell parents what my teenager talks about?
A teenager needs to know that what they say will not be passed on behind their back, or there will be no honest conversation. So the details of our sessions stay between us, and I tell the parent about the work in general terms and how they can help. If there is a risk to the safety of the child or of others, I always tell the parent. We agree these rules together at the very start.
Can my teenager have sessions online?
Yes, and many teenagers find online easier. They need a quiet room where no one can overhear, and headphones. We will decide together whether online suits your child.
What if my child is in danger right now?
If there is an immediate threat to life, call 911. If your child says they do not want to live or is hurting themselves, do not leave them alone and get help as soon as possible. I do not provide emergency help, but we can work together once the immediate danger has passed.
