Episode 32: Penny Parks

Mrs Parks is the creator of Parks Inner Child Therapy (PICT). She is a pioneer and expert in the field of childhood abuse (recognition, treatment and training) - having developed the first inner child method of therapy in the UK. She began teaching this complete ‘stand alone’ therapy model in 1988. It was originally created from her successful self-help efforts in resolving her own personal childhood abuse experiences and has evolved into a structured, rapid, thorough and gentle therapeutic model.

Mrs. Parks is an American who has lived in the UK since 1982. Her work with survivors in England evolved into two books - Rescuing the ‘Inner Child’ (1990, Souvenir Press) - a self-help publication and The Counsellor’s Guide to Parks Inner Child therapy (1994, Souvenir Press). Both books have continuously remained in print.
