Sand tray therapy uses sand, miniatures and symbols, to free the mind and allow the unconscious to resolve inner conflicts, within a safe and protected environment.

Sand tray therapy is suitable for anyone, child or adult alike , who is facing emotional difficulties or struggling with the challenges of daily life and emotional development.

Sand trays, and the use of sand, miniatures, symbols, and even water, create a free-form environment for the person to unravel any challenges they're facing, and to reveal and strengthen their inner sense of self within a broader sense of their family and social lives.

Each sand tray is different, unique to how a person feels and sees the world and social constructs within their daily lives. The trays reflect how the unconscious absorbs, understands, reveals and resolves life experiences at any one time.

As a mother to four children myself, I care deeply about children, how they develop agency, understanding over their feelings and lives, and learn to become comfortable in their best selves.

Professionally, I worked as a primary school teacher for more than twenty years, before training to become a full time sandtray therapist
