Jill Carter is the UK’s leading creative trainer for certified sandplay therapy training courses. All our trainings are particularly suitable for counsellors, psychotherapists, play therapists. Other professionals or volunteers in the mental health and education fields are also welcome. In addition, our sandplay, therapeutic art, trauma and supervision courses can be used as BACP or UKCP Continuing Professional Development.
Sandplay therapy is above all a proven way of working with children to help them express feelings and improve behaviour. In fact, it was developed by the Jungian analyst Dora Kalff. Our evidence-based integrative approach is also great for working with adolescents and adults. That is, to encourage clients who want to try something creative and different.
