What is Sandplay Therapy?

A brief description and demonstration of sandplay
therapy, featuring Gita Morena & Lorraine Freedle.

Sandplay Therapy
Sandplay is a safe, non-threatening healing process for clients of ALL ages.
It is a non-verbal and non-directive psycho-therapeutic approach to healing and change.
Clients create scenes in the sand in either the Wet or Dry or both trays.

During a therapy session, the client chooses from the many miniatures available to create a
scene in the sand tray. Using these as symbols to externalise inner struggles. Once the
scene is complete, the client may chose to share some of their process. The therapist trusts
that the unconscious is directing the healing process.

Sandplay therapy is useful for those who have suffered some form of trauma. Often used
with clients, who may have difficulty processing or expressing their feelings. Sandplay is a
safe, non-threatening healing process for clients of ALL ages, play is wholesome healing.

Dora Kalff devised Sandplay Therapy in the 1950s.
Establishing the International Society for Sandplay Therapy (ISST) in 1985.
