Wayne Woodthorpe

Wayne is an Archetypal Therapist and a Co-Founder of Inner Council who has dedicated his life to developing a continuous holistic theory of being and meaning. This journey has taken him through all continents and into many metaphysical interpretations and healing modalities. Wayne has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and those with terminal illness, depression, PTSD, addictions and various childhood trauma and alongside participants in preparation and post-integration with shamanic practices and sacred plant medicine work. He works now with an Inner Child approach that guides participants through intuitive healing by revising attitudes and introducing considerations that bring deep personal transformation. Through this work he has created an integration technique called Chaptering for working with living archetypes through storytelling narrative.

Modalities

Inner Child Work

Inner Child Work is the foundation of approach for reviewing and resolving breaches in the safety container before further archetypal work is usually available. After this stage we can quickly drop into archaic narratives that may be waiting for you to bring to life. These integration stories often lead to resolving mysteries from our past and/or considerations that help us to progress through deep soul lessons and purification processes to achieve a more comfortable state of mind. Participants have approached me after connections to plant medicine and psychic readings in order to complete integration work that is ready to be addressed.
