Now booking for Spring 2021 ONLINE course starting 20/21st March 2021
Next face to face course scheduled 25/26th September 2021 Colchester, Essex
This is our most popular sandplay training course, leading to becoming a sandplay therapist. It is suitable for qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and play therapists. Other people who are working/volunteering in education and mental health settings are also welcome to apply. Our groups are always small, with never more than 10 students on a course. So, this gives you lots of one-to-one support and encouragement. You will learn the key Jungian sandplay theories of Dora Kalff from the teacher Emma Steadman.
The focus is on experiential creative learning, so you will learn our evidence-based sandplay therapeutic method, with lots of practical advice and a chance to try sandplay. We will also use other creative arts therapies such as music, mindfulness and meditations to nurture ourselves in a free, protected space.
Accessible and affordable sandplay training skills for working with children, adolescents and adults.
Sand tray is powerful as a way of accessing unconscious memories and feelings. Therefore, personal and group sandplay process is an important part of all our arts therapy training. Exploring our own material supports us and helps us in our professional practice (and in life). We may recommend that you are in personal therapy. In addition, there is ongoing support from the teaching staff and supervisors, all of whom are BACP and/or UKCP therapists and supervisors.
