Inner Child Therapy
Who is the Inner Child?
Our early experiences of family life and the bonds we created with our parents, care givers and siblings truly shape our sense of self in a profound way. The Inner Child represents the subconscious emotional being within us who still carries the unresolved feelings of hurt, abandonment, rejection, humiliation, trauma or abuse from our childhood experiences.
This child within has a deep well of unmet need and has internalised the critical projections of those significant others. From an outer perspective most of us grow up to be quite functional as adults but the Inner Child makes itself known when we find ourselves in situations that trigger our emotional vulnerability.

Reparenting your Inner Child with Caroline
Over many years I have developed expertise in facilitating Inner Child Therapy. My approach is heart-centred and honouring of your greater wisdom within and ability to re-parent your own Inner Child. I am a compassionate guide to support you to bring healing and resolution to deeply held hurts and early emotional trauma. This profound process invites both self nurturing and self responsibility.
Because of the deep and sensitive nature of this work I recommend we connect for a weekly series of sessions. Usually a minimum of three to begin and then we review the need to continue from there. Deeper traumatic memory resolution may require several consultations.
Our work and play! together will bring a new wisdom and forgiveness to those past experiences so that you and your loved ones are ‘given back’ into the loving care of each one’s own Divine Presence as the true source of unconditional love and direction for your lives.
What Clients Say:
Caroline’s guidance has been such a gift. She embodies the tenderness and intuition of a divine mother. She holds space for me to connect with my inner child to heal and empower my Self. With the tools and patience that Caroline has offered me, I am learning how to love and parent my inner child in a way that positively affects all parts of me. The healing that has come from our first sessions has been life changing. She carries an awakened heart, and I’m humbled and inspired by the presence and insight she has cultivated. Thank you Caroline!
Inner Child Therapy with Caroline has changed my life. I was wanting to deal with my upbringing, to let go of the old feelings and patterns and to find love. What I got was far more than that. Caroline has the warmest heart, creating an environment that let me feel safe to fully let go and dive deep. Having gone over certain situations over and over again with my logical mind without real success, I found Caroline’s approach was the key to true healing. Feeling into my emotions and meeting my own younger self, supported by divine spirit, I found the path to self-nurturing and compassion toward others. I learned that sending positive thoughts and energy to those in conflict does make a true difference, not only for my own mental wellbeing but it can dissolve conflict itself. I learned what my boundaries are and how important it is to stick to them, no matter how little or significant they may be. How this will attract the life I desire, the people that are good for me and over all how this will bring me back to who I really am at the core. Finding my true self under all those layers of social expectations, hurt and fear is going to be a lifelong journey, but I now have got the tools to counsel and nurture myself. With Caroline’s help I have learned to love myself again and live a life more aware and connected.
