1:1 Inner Child Consults

"The greatest indicator of good parenting is how good a parent you are to your own inner child" - Dr. Shefali

I am passionate and dedicated to helping people heal their emotional wounds of childhood and trauma. The pain, trauma and or unmet needs we have from childhood shows up even as adults in our daily lives.

​

Everyone has an inner child that, it is our young selves that lives within us and is in pain and wounded. Most adults are more like adult children as they are acting from the unconscious inner child. Their emotionally wounded child within inhabits an adult body.

​

Our inner child is our childlike aspect, it causes us to react from a place of fear due to growing up feeling unloved, shamed, abandoned. Now as adults it shows up in many ways including feeling insecure, unloved, anxious.

You may have never been taught how to cope with emotions in a healthy manner and may numb them keeping you stuck, blocking you from fully healing, or lead a healthy life. It is only when you are ready to feel, you are ready to heal. If you don’t heal those wounds, they tend to get passed onto  the next generation.

Healing is possible, but we don’t just get over it and uncomfortable feelings cant be changed but accepted. It involves accepting the past, unmet needs as a child and also nurturing your inner child needs by accepting, taking responsibility, providing love and reparenting your inner child.

​

My work is trauma informed so I work with you to ensure you feel safe and in control in the process of healing.


Healing the inner child involves reconnecting with a wounded aspect of ourselves – the child within. This helps us uncover the roots of your insecurities, fears, sabotaging behaviours, phobias, emotional wounds, trauma and things keep us stuck. We work together to work on when the emotional injury first happened. The healing that takes place doing inner child work helps you heal as an adult by establishing new coping skills.
