Sand Play Therapy

Sand play therapy is a non-intrusive, primarily nonverbal tool used with clients of all ages, as well as adults. Sand play therapy gives an individual the opportunity to connect naturally with their inner self.

Often our wounds are hidden deep within. We have buried them deep and do allow ourselves to acknowledge or express them. Without expression, there is no healing. Sand play therapy provides a means for the unconscious to express itself, and thus start the process of healing from within.

In sand play therapy, the client is provided with an array of miniatures and other items to use in the sand tray. The client uses these items to tell their story. It is the client’s decision as to whether to talk about the scene they have created. Talking is not always necessary for the healing process.
