Explore Your Options05 / Inner Child Healing
How Inner Child Healing Can Support Change
Therapeutic work explores how early experiences may influence beliefs, emotions and protective habits in adult life. Reflection, imagery or practical counselling skills may help you recognise present triggers and rehearse kinder, more flexible responses. The emphasis is on current wellbeing and choice. Change develops through suitable care and practice, rather than erasing the past.
What actually happens in a session
You begin with present concerns and decide whether discussing earlier experiences feels useful. Reflection or imagery is optional. You can keep details private, pause or stop, and agree grounding strategies before exploring emotionally difficult material together.
Understanding your responses can open room for new choices that fit your everyday life.
Understand The Process06 / Choosing your practitioner
How to Choose the Right Inner Child Healing Practitioner in Mumbai

Enquire About Sessions09 / First session
What happens in your first session
An initial session is a chance to explain your concerns in your own words and ask questions about the suggested approach. Your practitioner may explore relevant history, day-to-day functioning and the priorities you want to address. It begins with a warm conversation about what has been happening, how long it has affected you and what you would like to change.
- A short assessment, only if it helps, explained in plain words.
- A first look at the emotional patterns and earlier experiences you want to discuss, so they begin to make sense.
- One or two practical tools you can try during the week, where appropriate.
- A clear plan: how often you might meet and how progress will be reviewed.
You do not need a perfect explanation of your concerns to begin a careful and supportive conversation.
You do not need to have it all figured out. Begin where you are.
Request Your Free 10-Minute Consultation ↗10 / Assessments
Clinical Assessment Tools Used Globally
Recognised questionnaires may help a suitably qualified practitioner understand symptoms and monitor change alongside a careful conversation. Selection depends on your concern and the professional role of the person providing care; using a questionnaire is not a promise of a particular diagnosis or outcome.
GAD 7
The Generalised Anxiety Disorder seven item questionnaire describes recent anxiety symptoms. It may support screening and monitoring when anxiety is relevant, with professional interpretation of responses.
PHQ 9
The Patient Health Questionnaire nine item scale describes depressive symptoms. Responses need appropriate interpretation and follow up; a score alone does not establish a diagnosis.
DASS 21
The Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales short form describes dimensions of emotional distress. It may help track symptom patterns over time when suitable for the person and context.
These questionnaires support assessment; they do not independently diagnose a condition, verify past life narratives, measure relationship compatibility or prove the need for a particular technique. Your practitioner should explain which tools, if any, are appropriate. Reflection and wellbeing exercises are not substitutes for clinical assessments.
Understand your concerns more clearly through suitable tools and a thoughtful conversation.

Client Testimonials
Selected Google review excerpts shared by clients about experiences at Holistic Living Wellness Studio. These are centre testimonials covering different services, not evidence that every reviewer received inner child healing. Individual experiences vary.
A welcoming environment
“Mr Sanjeev and team are warm and welcoming to work with. Holistic Living Wellness Studio has a calm environment. Here at the studio, they modestly do life-changing work! . I am on a healing and a spiritual journey, and the journey to find oneself, to lead back to oneness with the divine, can be very difficult. To be able to ease that path for multiple souls is a priceless gift.”
Support through grief
“Before the sessions, I felt lost, overwhelmed, and unable to see beyond my grief. After the sessions, I experienced more peace, emotional strength, and acceptance. While I still miss him every day, I now feel better equipped to carry those memories with love instead of only pain. I sincerely thank Mr. Sanjeev Mittal and the entire Holistic Living team for their support, compassion, and guidance.”
Relationships and self-care
“Counseling sessions with Sanjeev sir have been truly life-changing for me. He helped us understand and respect each other better, rebuild peace at home, and live more harmoniously together. On a personal level, he guided me to gain clarity and realize the importance of prioritizing myself for better mental peace and happiness. Learning to choose myself without feeling guilty has been one of the most valuable takeaways from these sessions.”
Calm and emotional support
“I had a truly transformative experience under the guidance of Sanjeev Mittal. The sessions helped me feel calmer, more centered, and much more in control of my thoughts and emotions. His approach is deeply understanding and highly effective. I felt supported throughout the entire journey.”
Anxiety and self-understanding
“After trying multiple treatments, I finally came here, and it turned out to be the best decision. The support and guidance I received were truly helpful. Gradually, I started understanding myself better, and the healing process felt natural and comfortable. Now, I feel much happier, more confident, and emotionally balanced. I’m really grateful for the care, patience, and positive environment that helped me regain my mental peace.”
Giving therapy another chance
“Having stuck in a loop and no answers I thought of giving therapy a second chance. after a few sessions, I can feel a great positive shift. I feel much calmer, my anxiety is more under control, and some of the deep sadness and concerns I carried have eased. Therapist, Mr.Mittal sir is definitely guiding force and will help to ensure you will feel better than before.”

Discuss Your Expectations12 / FAQs
Inner Child Healing Questions Answered
What does inner child healing actually mean?
The term refers to exploring early needs, beliefs and coping patterns through a therapeutic lens. It does not mean there is a separate child inside you or that every difficulty began in childhood. Ask which specific methods the practitioner uses and how they relate to your present goals and needs.
Is inner child healing the same as trauma therapy?
No. Inner child work is a broad description, while treatment for trauma disorders requires appropriate assessment and specific professional competence. Some reflective practices may fit within wider therapy. If you have significant trauma symptoms, ask about established trauma focused treatments and whether specialist care is more appropriate to your circumstances.
Can this help me understand people pleasing?
People pleasing can involve fear of rejection, learned family roles or difficulty recognising personal needs. Sessions may explore these possibilities without assuming a single cause. Practical work can include noticing your limits, rehearsing respectful refusal and reflecting on what happens when you allow your own preferences to matter.
Will I have to relive painful childhood events?
You should not be pressured to retell or relive distressing experiences to prove that therapy is working. Discuss what feels manageable and agree how to pause. Work can begin with current coping, grounding and boundaries. Detailed exploration is a choice made within an appropriate assessment and therapeutic plan.
Does the work involve blaming my parents?
The purpose is to understand your experience and current needs, rather than assign a simple explanation or require blame. Families can involve both care and hurt. You can recognise what affected you while deciding what boundaries, contact or conversations are useful now, without being pushed towards forgiveness or confrontation.
What if I cannot remember much of childhood?
Limited recall does not mean you must uncover hidden memories. You can work with present feelings, situations and choices without constructing an account of the past. A responsible practitioner avoids leading questions and does not treat imagery as factual evidence. Ask how the approach protects against pressure to remember.
Is hypnotherapy necessary for inner child work?
No. Reflective conversation, practical skills and other approaches can be used without hypnosis. If imagery or hypnosis is proposed, ask about its purpose, limitations and suitability before consenting. You can decline a method and discuss alternatives. The choice should follow your needs and the practitioner’s competence, rather than a fixed formula.
How can inner child work relate to relationships?
Early expectations may influence how you interpret closeness, criticism or disagreement, but current circumstances also matter. Sessions can explore these connections while developing clearer requests, boundaries and self support. Your history should not be used to excuse another person’s harmful behaviour or make you solely responsible for relationship difficulties.
Can I build self compassion without excusing mistakes?
Self compassion involves responding to difficulty with fairness and care while taking responsibility for your actions. It does not require ignoring consequences. Therapy may help you distinguish useful accountability from harsh self attack, then practise repair, learning and realistic expectations when you make a mistake or feel disappointed.
Where can I book inner child healing in Mumbai?
Holistic Living lists appointment options in Chembur East, Bandra West, Powai and Andheri East, Worli and Prabhadevi, Nariman Point, Thane West and Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Contact the team to confirm a suitable practitioner, the exact address and current availability before booking or making travel arrangements.
What happens in the first session?
The first appointment focuses on understanding your concern, relevant history and what you would like to change. Your practitioner explains suitability, confidentiality and the proposed approach. Exercises are not automatic. You can ask questions and agree the next step before deciding whether to continue with further appointments.
How much does inner child healing cost?
Fees at Holistic Living Wellness Studio start at INR 1,999/-. The fee depends on the practitioner and appointment selected. Your introductory call lasts 10 minutes and helps clarify suitability, the proposed approach and booking details. The team will explain the applicable session fee before you book.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no single number that suits everyone. Your goals, circumstances, the concern and your response influence the plan. Ask for an initial estimate and agreed review points. Decisions about continuing should reflect meaningful changes in everyday life, with space to adapt the approach or consider other support.
How long is an appointment?
The introductory call lasts 10 minutes. This gives you time to discuss your concern, practitioner options and the proposed approach. A full appointment is separate; its duration depends on your needs and the session format. The team will confirm the full appointment length when arranging your booking.
Can I attend online?
Online appointments may be possible after discussing suitability and practitioner availability. Arrange privacy, a reliable connection and a place where you can participate comfortably. Confirm what happens if the call disconnects. Some circumstances require in person assessment or specialist support, so convenience alone should not determine the format you choose.
Is the conversation confidential?
Ask your practitioner to explain confidentiality, record keeping and any limits before beginning. These may include safety, safeguarding or other professional obligations relevant to the service. Clarify what information is shared within the team and obtain agreement before involving relatives, employers or other professionals in your care or discussions.
How do I choose the right practitioner?
Ask about relevant qualifications, professional background and experience with your concern. Discuss the methods proposed, consent, fees and how progress will be reviewed. Organisational accreditation is different from an individual’s clinical qualification. Choose someone who welcomes questions, explains limitations and respects your comfort rather than offering guaranteed results.
Do I need a diagnosis before contacting the centre?
You can enquire without having a diagnosis or a perfectly organised explanation. Describe what is troubling you and how it affects everyday life. The initial conversation helps clarify options; a fuller assessment may still be needed. If specialist evaluation is appropriate, ask how referral and coordination would be handled.
Will I have to share everything immediately?
No. You can begin with what feels manageable and explain that certain topics are difficult to discuss. Ask how the practitioner handles pauses, distress and consent. Some information is important for suitability and safety, but personal disclosure should be approached collaboratively rather than treated as a test of commitment.
Can I continue medication or other treatment?
Tell the practitioner about medication, health conditions and other support so the plan can fit your circumstances. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment without advice from the treating clinician. Discuss coordination where helpful, including what information would be shared and whether the proposed service is appropriate alongside existing care.
Are results guaranteed?
No. A responsible practitioner should not promise a cure, permanent change or a fixed timetable for success. Agree realistic goals and review how you are functioning outside sessions. If the approach is not helping, discuss adapting it or seeking another form of support rather than feeling obliged to continue indefinitely.
What should I prepare before attending?
Think about the concern you want to discuss, what you hope might change and any questions about the process. Bring relevant health information if appropriate. You do not need to rehearse your story. For online appointments, arrange privacy and ask about practical requirements before the scheduled time so you can participate comfortably.
Can I request a different approach or practitioner?
You can raise concerns if the approach or relationship does not feel helpful. Ask what adjustments or alternatives are available and whether another practitioner may be more suitable. Continuity can matter, but you should understand the plan and feel able to ask questions without pressure to accept a method you do not want.
What if I need more urgent or specialised support?
Tell the team if symptoms are severe, worsening or affecting your ability to function or stay safe. A routine enquiry form is not an emergency service. Seek appropriate urgent healthcare when needed. The practitioner should recommend specialist assessment when your needs fall outside their training, competence or the scope of the proposed service.
How do I request the free 10-minute consultation?
Use either enquiry form or contact the team on WhatsApp at +91 93210 73548. Briefly describe what you are looking for and your preferred location or online format. The free 10-minute introductory conversation is subject to suitability and helps clarify options before you choose whether to book a full appointment.
Find clear answers about the process, consent, appointments and what progress may look like.
