How Does a Session for Children Work? (aged 3 and up)
A Supportive, Child-Centred Approach
Through movement, play, Brain Gym and work on primitive reflexes, I support children in strengthening motor, sensory, cognitive and emotional coordination.
When these different areas are better integrated, the child feels more secure, more comfortable in their body and more available to learn and interact.
A child’s development depends on good coordination between body and brain: moving, feeling, concentrating and regulating emotions are all deeply interconnected.
​
If coordination is not fully developed, a child may have to use a lot of energy for simple daily tasks —
sitting upright, writing, listening, focusing or managing emotions.
By strengthening the body’s foundational organization, the child can:
✔ better organise their movements
✔ process sensory information more smoothly
✔ improve concentration and learning abilities
✔ feel more secure in their body
✔ gain confidence and autonomy
✔ understand and express their emotions more easily
Creating a Safe and Trusting Space
Your child should be willing and aware of why they are coming. Take the time to explain what I do in simple, reassuring terms.
A session that is prepared in a calm and supportive atmosphere is always more beneficial.
The first appointment is a meeting with the parents only, where we get to know each other, talk about the context and your expectations, and answer all your questions. This step is essential to establish a safe therapeutic framework that honours everyone’s role.
Depending on age, it is generally preferable that the child is seen alone during the session. Creating a trusting and secure space between the child and the therapist is important, and the parents’ presence can unintentionally influence the process.
What Happens in a Session
Each session begins with a time of listening and sharing.
The support then continues through tools that are playful, bodily and participatory, always adapted to the child’s age, rhythm and sensitivity:
Primitive reflex work
To support the foundations of motor, cognitive and sensory development.
Brain Gym
Simple, targeted movements to improve psychomotor coordination, communication between the brain’s two hemispheres, and support learning and attention.
Drawing, games and creative supports
These help the child express emotions in ways other than words, accessing their inner experience naturally and playfully.
Breathing and visualization
To help the child re- centre, calm down, develop self-regulation and open new possibilities for daily challenges.
Every session is unique, interactive and evolving, tailored to the child’s needs and state in the moment.
Integration & Continuity at Home
To help the effects of the session settle more deeply, support is extended at home with practical, easy-to-use tools:
🔹 A personalised Bach flower remedy to take 3–4 times a day and support emotional balance
🔹 An essential oil inhaler — a ‘scent comfort’ the children love
🔹 A Brain Gym and/or reflexes exercise to repeat at home, reinforcing integration and calm
💡 Establishing a simple daily ritual, even for a few minutes, can help deepen the benefits of the session.
This can also be a lovely moment of connection and closeness with your child, where they feel supported, heard and safe. The more these practices are integrated with pleasure and consistency, the deeper their positive impact.
The Importance of Parent Involvement
Working with parents is an essential part of therapy. Even if a parent’s behaviour is not the cause of a child’s difficulty, it plays a crucial role in the solution.
Often, a child’s difficulty comes from a distorted, unused or misunderstood view of reality. The aim of therapy is to accompany the child towards a more realistic, objective and adaptable experience of life. In this process, parents carry messages in everyday life that resonate with the therapeutic work, reinforcing change.
T
hat’s why coherence between what the therapist and parents communicate is so important. Parents are closely involved in the work.
One-Off Parent Consultation
Sometimes, questions arise naturally from challenges with your child.
I offer single or occasional consultations for parents who want answers about their child’s development, behaviour insights or educational guidance.
Child Therapy & Adult Support
A child’s therapy can sometimes bring up family or personal issues from the past.
For some parents, this is also the moment to begin their own release and inner work.
Rates & Support
This is a short-term therapy.
The number of sessions depends on your goal and personal history, as each individual is unique.
Sessions are generally spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart, allowing time for integration.
A kinesiology session lasts approximately 1 hour.
