Parks Inner Child Therapy (PICT)

Penny was the creator of Parks Inner Child Therapy (PICT). A pioneer and expert in the field of childhood abuse (recognition, treatment and training) – having developed the first stand-alone Inner Child method of therapy.

She was born in America (1943) and lived in the UK since 1982 up to her death in 2020. Her work with survivors in England evolved into two books; the PICT Trauma & Abuse Specialist Skills Training course and various workshops.

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.

She lived in Suffolk, England with her husband Rod and retired in 2017 to enjoy walking her dog, Pixi, and her hobbies as a vocalist and artist. Penny’s Personal website

Although retired, she was privileged to be offered and to have accepted the invitation of Honorary Fellow Membership of both the National Council of Psychotherapists (NCP) and the National Counselling Society

We are both proud and delighted that the PICT course continues to be recognised through the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) as an Advanced Specialist Skills course.

The NCPS is an approved accrediting body with the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) which means that we at Penny Parks Training are working to the highest of healthcare standards.

Not everyone working in health and social care is regulated by law which is why it is important to choose practitioners from registers accredited by the PSA.

Since PICT students are qualified counsellors/therapists with a qualified supervisor already established, PICT Supervisors are only required to supervise PICT students or therapists concerning therapeutic work that involves PICT. Of course, those PICT supervisors who hold additional supervision qualifications can be called upon to fulfil all supervision requirements once students are qualified as PICT Practitioners.

As a current student of PICT, I am required to do three full case studies to qualify for my Diploma. The fee for each session would be charged at a reduced fee to that of my usual amount.

If you are reading this page and think you may be able to undertake being a PICT Case Study Client, you may also need to be aware that you would be asked to sign a PICT Case Study Client Consent and Contractual Form. A copy of this is available on request.
