Inner Child Workshop

When we reconnect with this inner presence, we begin to understand the roots of our emotional patterns and the quiet needs that continue to shape our adult lives. A trusting relationship with the Inner Child becomes a steady compass. Through gentle dialogue, imagination, and guided regression, you learn to meet this part of yourself with care and attentiveness. Over time, this relationship matures into a source of clarity, healing, and inner guidance.

The Inner Child Workshop is the doorway into this living relationship. It offers the tools, meditative practices, and experiential processes that help you make first contact — and then begin to nurture a meaningful bond that can grow throughout your life.

The Inner Child Workshop is a one-to-one guided process held over three sessions. Across these sessions you’ll explore both understanding and experience: learning the core principles of inner child work while also being supported through the practices themselves. The pace is calm, spacious, and responsive to your needs.

Each session weaves together gentle theory, guided meditative processes, and reflective dialogue. You’ll learn how to recognise your inner emotional patterns, how to create a safe internal environment for meeting your Inner Child, and how to begin forming a relationship that continues beyond the workshop. Between sessions, simple check-ins and journaling help you integrate what you discover.

Group workshops are also offered periodically online. They follow the same essential structure in a shared environment, with less personal tailoring but a sense of collective reflection and support.

The workshop introduces the foundational elements of Inner Child work through a blend of learning and direct experience. Each area builds on the last, helping you understand your inner landscape while forming a meaningful relationship with the child within.

Foundations of Inner Child Work

You’ll explore what the Inner Child truly is and why this relationship becomes so central to emotional well-being.
We look at the ways early experiences shape adult patterns, how unmet needs surface in daily life, and how gentle inner work can bring clarity, stability, and renewed connection.
You’ll also learn simple tools and guided processes that help you meet your Inner Child safely and with confidence.

Human Development & Reparenting

Together, we examine the early developmental stages and how they influence emotional habits, beliefs, and behaviour in adulthood.
You’ll learn how to identify the needs that went unmet, how they continue to show up, and how to practise self-reparenting through presence, communication, and attentiveness.
This section supports you in creating a healthy, supportive inner environment for your Inner Child to feel safe and seen.

Inner Awareness & Imagination

You’ll be introduced to the imaginal processes that make Inner Child work so effective — gentle regressions, guided visualisation, and creative dialogue.
These practices help you recognise emotional patterns, soften old defences, and connect with the deeper wisdom within you.
Rather than analysing the past, you learn to engage with your inner world directly, allowing insight and healing to arise naturally.

All participants receive access to our online workshop portal, which includes guided meditations, journaling prompts, and tools to support continued self-practice after the workshop.

The Inner Council’s Inner Child Workshop offers a distinctive approach grounded in relationship, imagination, and a deep respect for each person’s inner world. While many methods focus on analysing the past or managing symptoms, this work centres on building a living connection with the part of you that remembers your earliest truths.

Our approach is gentle, intuitive, and personal. The one-to-one format creates a safe and spacious environment where you can explore your inner landscape without pressure or expectation. Instead of being guided toward conclusions, you are supported in discovering your own insights, at your own pace.

This workshop is also part of a wider journey. As you build trust with your Inner Child, new aspects of your inner world naturally begin to emerge — patterns, roles, strengths, and forms of inner guidance that deepen your understanding of yourself. These experiences lay the groundwork for further exploration should you wish to continue beyond the workshop.

Every person brings their own history, temperament, culture, and imagination to this work, which means each journey unfolds uniquely. Our role is to provide the structure, safety, and attentive guidance that allows your own inner wisdom to lead the way.

Many people begin this work unsure of what to expect. Some wonder whether their Inner Child will appear at all, or whether they will be able to connect. These questions are completely natural. The inner world reveals itself gradually, and always in its own timing.

During the workshop, you are guided step by step into a safe inner space where the first connection can emerge. This meeting is often quiet and tender — a sense of presence, an image, a feeling, or a moment of recognition. Whatever form it takes, it begins a relationship that deepens as trust grows.

Psychologists and depth practitioners have long recognised the child archetype as a symbol of wholeness and spontaneous truth. When you reconnect with this part of yourself, qualities such as honesty, curiosity, creativity, and playfulness naturally begin to reawaken. You may also find greater compassion for yourself and those who shaped your early life.

The Inner Child is not a concept or an abstract idea, but a living aspect of your inner experience — the part of you that still knows how to feel, imagine, and respond with truth. Meeting them is often described as a turning point: the moment your inner world becomes more real, more coherent, and more capable of healing.

Forming a relationship with your Inner Child can be moving, surprising, and deeply restorative. Many people experience emotions they haven’t felt in years — not because they are reliving the past, but because they are finally meeting the part of themselves that lived it. This can bring moments of release, clarity, tenderness, or quiet joy.

As the relationship develops, old patterns often begin to soften. You may notice more awareness in daily life, greater honesty in your emotional responses, and a growing sense of steadiness within. The Inner Child tends to reveal exactly what is ready to be seen — whether that is grief, playfulness, insight, or a need for reassurance.

With time, this work becomes empowering. You learn how to care for the parts of yourself that were once reactive or overwhelmed, and how to bring compassion to the places that felt forgotten. The gift of this process is not only healing; it is the recognition that you can hold both your vulnerability and your strength, and support yourself from the inside out.

The workshop is only the beginning of your relationship with the Inner Child. After completing the sessions, you are invited to join the Inner Council Community Forum — a quiet, supportive space where participants share reflections, insights, and experiences from their ongoing inner work. It offers a sense of companionship on a journey that is personal but never isolated.

For those who feel called to deepen their practice, further support is available.
Many people choose to continue with mentoring, which provides a gentle structure for integrating the work into daily life and strengthening the connection with their Inner Child. Others feel drawn toward practitioner training, learning how to hold this work for others with clarity and confidence.

Whether you continue formally or simply stay connected through the community, you remain part of the wider Inner Council — a circle of people contributing to a shared field of healing, understanding, and inner growth.
