About the Course
The Certificate Course in Inner Child Work in Therapy is a 6-week structured training for therapists and trainees.
The course is designed to help you:
-
Understand how early experiences and unmet needs show up in adult life

Why Inner Child Work Matters
Many struggles in adulthood are rooted in childhood wounds. In therapy, these younger selves often show up through:
-
Fear of abandonment
-
Harsh self-criticism
-
Emotional flashbacks
-
Repeating relational patterns
When therapists can meet these parts with compassion and structure, it opens the door to deep healing. This course will equip you with practical tools and a safe framework to hold these moments in the therapy room.
