Children and young people
Many young people experience difficult periods and challenges related to mental health, and it is not always easy to open up to those closest to you, or to solve all problems yourself.
In such periods, many people can greatly benefit from talking to an outside professional, getting some new tools, perhaps some guidance, or just support to reflect freely and find new opportunities.
In collaboration with the psychologist, you find out what you want to focus on and get help for, and together you make a plan for the way forward. The goal is to support a good life and positive development
Therapy for children and young people are offered via video or at our clinic in Vika in Oslo. You do not need a referral from a doctor to book an appointment.
Who is this offer suitable for?
Conversations with a psychologist are suitable for children and young people who experience difficulties and challenges that they are unable to handle on their own or with the help of their loved ones. Through mapping and assessment of the kind of difficulties and challenges the individual experiences, the psychologist will assess what type of treatment and measures should be initiated. The psychologist can also assist by referring to public mental health care for children and young people if there is a need for this.
Important information before you book an appointment
Before you book an appointment for children and young people, it is important that you are familiar with the limitations and frameworks that we, as a private operator, have.
The psychologists in Kry do not have frameworks to work systemically; for example participating in meeting activities or in collaborations in various arenas, on behalf of the client.
The psychologists in Kry only offer conversations via video, and all documentation work done by the psychologist is invoiced per half hour.
If it turns out that the client needs systemic measures and help, the psychologist refers them to the right place.
A psychologist has a duty of confidentiality, but sometimes parents have a right to information. Parents, for example, have the right to obtain information about the child's health if it is necessary to take good care of the child. Parental responsibility applies until the child is 18 years old, but there are separate rules in the health laws that state when parents must receive information from health personnel and when they cannot.
Until the person is 12 years old it is the parents who decide whether the child should receive help and treatment from a psychologist. Then the parents, or the person giving help, must explain to the child what he will get help for and why he will get help in an understandable way. The parents decide on behalf of the child after they have listened to what the child thinks.
Until the person is 16 years old parents have a right to information about the child's health and treatment. However, if the health personnel consider that it is in the child's best interest that the parents do not receive information, an exception is made. The psychologist must talk to the parents if they believe that they need information to know how the child's health is or to be able to take care of the child, or if it is the best for the child. This also applies after the age of 16. The child's best interests come first. The psychologist also has a duty to inform parents if there is a question of more serious mental disorders, such as self-harm, use of illegal drugs or physical injuries due to criminal acts.
When you turn 16, you become of legal age. Then you can talk to a psychologist without the parents needing and get information about health care.
When you are between 16-18 years of age, the parents may still have the right to obtain information about the child's health if it is necessary for them to be able to take good care of the child. Then it is the psychologist who decides whether the information is to be shared with the parents, and the child will first be informed about what the parents will receive information about.
