Advanced Specialist Skills Training for psychotherapists working with the Trauma and Issues arising from Childhood Abuse.
Penny Parks Training is the authorised training provider of Parks Inner Child Therapy (PICT).
The type of person you wish you were is the person you really are but haven’t yet learned to be.
This is the key tenet of PICT.
PICT is a complete standalone therapy model providing you, the therapist, with a comprehensive set of tools to bring about real, effective and long-lasting change in your clients.
In addition, PICT Training is a fully experiential course in which students will experience an amazing opportunity for both personal and professional development and growth.

The PICT Community
At PPT we do not just view PICT as a therapy model that we provide training in.
The very nature of the depth and intensity of the PICT training creates a strong bond and connection between all involved - students, trainers and supervisors alike. Creating a supportive community through which everyone can share experiences and seek help and support. A community that enables PICT Therapists to provide the best service to those who need it most - the client. Working together to provide the best chance of giving the client their life back and enabling them to flourish, grow and to realise their dreams.
Parks Inner Child Therapy provides rapid and painless resolution of trauma & childhood abuse to the many victims worldwide. Although originally devised in the late 1970s this therapy model has continually evolved to remain at the cutting edge of the resolution of trauma, childhood abuse & emotional challenges. It is probably the most effective model available with the most significant feature being that it can bring about change gently as there is no need to disclose any details of traumatic events. The rapidity of its effectiveness has been enhanced by the introduction, in 1996, of the PICT Quick Change model, devised originally to cater for clients from overseas; where resolution may be completed in a series of 5 consecutive days of 4 hour sessions. (The QC 4 hour sessions can also be offered in weekly, 2 or 3 day formats).
Penny Parks Training also provides a valuable resource to clients, practitioners and health professionals, as well as anyone interested in the topic of childhood abuse and its related subjects. Penny Parks herself was consulted as an expert in the field by health professionals, the media and in legal cases.
