Sand Tray therapy is a creative and powerful method for working with children and adults in counselling and psychotherapy - as well as for use in supervision. It has many uses with a wide ranging client group, for example couples and very young children as well as for people who cannot easily put their thoughts and feelings into words.
Throughout this workshop you will experience and reflect upon the use of the Sand Tray from the perspective of both the client and therapist. You will also gain an insight into how Sand Tray symbolism can be used to access the subconscious mind.
Discover the way in which Sand Tray therapy may offer an alternate mode of expression that the spoken word struggles to reach. This thought provoking and practical workshop will provide you with a knowledge and experience of Sand Tray processes and modalities.
