Play enables fantasies to be acted out, externalises the inner world, traumas can be reworked and repressed needs can be expressed symbolically and safely.
Individual, non-threatening play is an important element in this type of therapy and it allows you to work at your own pace and to 'drop your guard' or open up.
In a shallow rectangular tray half filled with sand, you are given the opportunity to create whatever shape you want in the sand, and populate this space with your selection from hundreds of tiny objects and figures in order to create a picture of your 'inner world'.
The activity is multidimensional - using eyes, hands, body, mind, and spirit and allows you to participate in a non-verbal creative process.
Sandplay Therapy allows you to work in a safe environment and it is highly effective in reducing emotional causes behind difficult behaviours.This counselling method is suitable for adults as well as children.
