: A quick Google search will show that, while those two translations of the individual words exist, they are not used together to form this concept. It's a common way to say "counseling" in Portuguese.

psychotherapy
The psychologist does not follow the children anywhere. The child goes to the psychologist's office for regular consultations. Therefore, it's a therapy. They only call it "acompanhamento" in PT so that it doesn't sound like a treatment for amental illness. Theoretically, it sounds better to say "acompanhamento" than "terapia". A typical euphemsm.

: "Psychotherapy" has become a little more specific in English than "terapia" or "psicoterapia" in Portuguese, but I agree with your explanation about the Portuguese term.

Thank you, Danielle. I still think "counseling is an euphemism, just like "acompanhamento" in PT. If it's necessarily done by a psychologist, it must be a therapy. But it's not my area of expertise, so I can't really affirm this.

psychological intervention
Parece haver uma diferença entre counselling, psychotherapy e psychological support. Se você não estiver certa de qual destes foi usado no seu caso, uma alternativa é utilizar um termo mais genérico - psychological intervention:
http://www.prc.gov.ph/prb/?id=45&content=266
(1) Psychological Interventions: psychological counseling; psychotherapy; psychosocial support; life coaching; psychological debriefing; group processes; and all other psychological interventions that involve the application of psychological principles and methods to improve the psychological functioning of individuals; families; groups; and organizations;

: The word "intervention" is more specific in English and is not the correct translation in this case. "Intervention" refers to the idea of a drug intervention in most cases, not "acompanhamento."

Really? The link that I posted gave me exactly the opposite impression: intervention is a general term, that includes counselling, psychotherapy, support, debriefing, etc... Anyway, thank you for your feedback!

Although "councelling" is a good option I prefer "psychological support"
