Inner Child Workshop (3 Days) - £225
Have you found yourself struggling with clients who present themselves with childhood issues, finding that the person-centred approach is just not enough? Inner child work is a powerful therapeutic tool that uses a combination of person-centred, transactional analysis, and NLP approaches. It works with clients who present with a wide range of issues that are affecting their adult lives. It facilitates the client reaching back to their difficult childhood; the root of their issues, working through understanding how their childhood is affecting them now, but then dealing with their childhood issues.
The Course
Inner child work transforms client’s lives and leads to lasting positive change. This is an experimental workshop so you will be expected to take part in an exercise we present as though you were a client.
This allows you to learn through reflection on your experiences. The workshop covers:

- Suitable Clients for Inner Child Work
- Extensive Tools for Inner Child Work
