Online Introduction to Sandplay Therapy

Accessible and affordable sandplay training skills

for working with children, adolescents and adults

Sandplay therapy is:

A widely-used type of counselling, in which the healing process happens in a gentle, non-verbal way. It was in fact developed by Dora Kalff based on the World Technique of Margaret Lowenfeld. Sandplay and trauma therapy are proven to be especially effective in helping children express feelings, process traumatic memories and therefore improve their behaviour.
A very useful therapeutic approach with teenagers. Also, adults who may prefer play therapy to talking, e.g. people with autism or dementia.

Sandplay therapists:

In brief, we use miniature toys to enable clients to process their traumatic experience. For example, with clients who have been sexually abused. It is an approach which allows children and young people to work through even preverbal traumas in a free and protected space.
