What state funding is
The Office national de l'enfance (ONE) is the Luxembourg state service that arranges and funds support for children, adolescents, young people and their families. When a request for help is accepted, the state covers the work of the specialists involved.
I am an accredited provider — prestataire — for ONE. That means your therapeutic consultations with me can be paid for by the state rather than billed to you.
Everything else is exactly the same as in private work: the same 50 minutes, the same room in Bereldange or the same online session, the same confidentiality. State funding changes who pays, not how the therapy is done.
Who this support is for
State-funded support is intended for young people up to the age of 27, and for families with children. Depending on the request, the work may also include consultations with parents and with the family as a whole.
Emotional difficulties
Anxiety, fears, difficulty regulating strong feelings, a child who is often overwhelmed and cannot say why.
Behaviour and school
Outbursts or withdrawal, trouble adapting to a new school, conflicts with peers or teachers.
Self-esteem and relationships
A child or adolescent who thinks poorly of themselves, or who struggles to find a place among peers.
Family crisis
Separation, loss, relocation — a change the whole family is living through, not only the child.
Traumatic experience
Painful events that keep returning and go on shaping how a young person feels today.
Parents
When it is the adults who need to understand what is happening and work out how to be alongside their child.
How to begin
The first step is an email, not a booking. You can contact me directly with your request — nothing needs to be arranged before we talk.
- Write to me by email and describe the situation in a few sentences — the age of the person concerned and what worries you.
- We work out together whether this format fits. If it does not, I will say so directly and suggest where else to look.
- I will explain the process, assess your eligibility for state funding and assist you with the necessary steps.
- Once the funding is arranged, we agree the times and begin. If eligible, you receive the support without paying for the sessions yourself.
Before you write
Do we pay anything at all?
If you are eligible, you receive psychological and therapeutic support without having to pay for the sessions yourself. If you later want to continue beyond what the funding covers, that part becomes a private consultation at the usual fee of €190 for 50 minutes.
How do I know whether I am eligible?
Write to me and describe the situation. I will explain the process, assess your eligibility and assist you with the necessary steps to arrange the funding.
Is it as confidential as private work?
The therapeutic work itself is confidential in exactly the same way as a private consultation. Where the funding arrangement requires anything to be reported, I will tell you in advance what is shared and with whom — you will never learn about it afterwards.
Can the sessions take place online?
Yes. Online works particularly well for adolescents and young people. With younger children we usually begin in person and decide together what suits them.
In what languages do the sessions take place?
In English and Russian.
