Sandtray work

Sand Tray Therapy

Sandtray Therapy is a creative therapy in which clients represent their personal world in symbolic form by working with objects in a sand-filled tray. Working in this way can powerfully enhance a client’s awareness and promote expression, exploration and resolution of a variety of issues.
