Jill has been teaching sandplay and art for fifteen years. All of her teaching is based on the most recent and relevant research and case studies as well as her clinical work as a UKCP and BACP accredited child, adolescent, family and adult psychotherapist & supervisor. Hundreds of students have already done our courses and these are the key reasons why they choose us:
Jill’s sand tray courses have improved my work with children and adults enormously. I have gained a deeper understanding of the theories taught and an even deeper understanding of myself through the experiential learning and reflective practice encouraged. I highly recommend these courses where Jill is a supportive, knowledgeable and patient tutor.

If you are reading this, you are probably already drawn to the idea of using creativity in your work – to bring together the magic of play with the solid theories and research which make it so effective for many clients.
Inexorably drawn towards the healing power of sand, I joined Jill’s certificate and diploma courses in working therapeutically with sand and never looked back. Her courses marry deep experiential work along with well taught in-depth theory in small accessible groups. She supervises, teaches and contains you in your personal learning process and does justice to the value of therapeutic synchronicity.

More than anything, this course taught me to “feel” and to trust my instincts personally and professionally. I am more attuned to my clients’ emotions and experiences because I have allowed myself to feel my own hurt and joy. I have a deeper, more connected relationship with my clients. I am confident that what I am now reflecting back to my clients is their own experience, not mine.

Three levels of training …
I have attended and enjoyed the introductory weekend, that led to attending the certificate in sandplay, which led to attending and completing the Diploma in sandplay work with Jill this year. In each case I was impressed and inspired by Jill’s professionalism, her excellent handouts, her encyclopedic knowledge but most of all the personal qualities that she brings, such generosity of spirit and warmth of heart. The pace is gentle yet firm, her holding of the space exceptional and after experiencing Psychotherapy training in other institutions I would rate Jill’s approach as masterful and highly competent. The handouts are eloquent and erudite, the symbol collection second to none and the opportunity to learn experiential as well as via lectures deeply effective and in my case, life changing, leading me to apply for an MA in child psychotherapy, a challenge I would not have attempted without the sandplay training with Jill.

Uses the alchemical process to enhance therapeutic perspective
As we mark the centenary since the end of World War One, we pause to remember the 16 million people who died in the conflict. I am also thinking of the 37 million worldwide who were wounded and the thousands of British soldiers who returned from the Front with what was termed ‘shell shock’. Many returners…
I am reading Brené Brown’s new book “Dare to Lead”, which is all about the importance of owning our vulnerability in business. It’s left me thinking about the role that vulnerability plays in counselling, sandplay and creative arts therapy. I’m also wondering how often we are told by supervisors and teachers (consciously or unconsciously) that…
This week is Halloween, but it’s also All Saints Day and the Day of the Dead. Traditionally this is a time to let all our ghouls and ghosts and skeletons out, celebrate them (and give them sweets) and lay them to rest. I have a lot of ghouls, ghosts, skeletons and coffins in my sandplay…
