Our inner world reflects our outer world
SANDPLAY (aka SAND TRAY)
Our inner world reflects our outer world.
Sandplay is a holistic approach to counselling. By choosing miniature objects as they are called to you and placing them in the tray of sand, you will clearly display your inner world. This is to help you understand what is beneath the current situation or fear that you are facing at the time. Each session is different. Your sub-conscious or inner wisdom reveals unspoken issues and helps bring solutions. Sandplay Therapy is for all ages.
Children and adults work differently - but basically children allow their inner world to play out in the Sandtray or in Art processes.
Adults allow the pieces to give them inner wisdom and insight and can help with finding solutions. Can also help with times of spiritual crisis, grief and trauma.
Sandplay is a wondrous process for all ages.
