- Sandplay therapy is a widely-used type of counselling, in which the healing process happens in a gentle, non-verbal way. It was 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 and adults who may prefer creative therapy to talking therapies.
- In brief, we use miniature toys to enable clients to process their traumatic experience. For example, with clients who have been sexually abused. Creating sand trays allows children and young people to work through even preverbal traumas in a free and protected space.
