Facilitated by Joy Oakley

WORKING CREATIVELY IN COUNSELLING USING SANDTRAYS AND
OBJECTS
The workshop will be a very hands-on experience, so that
participants can get a good idea of how they can use objects and sand tray work
in depth with their clients. There will be plenty of opportunity for you to work with Sand trays and a wide assortment of objects.
You can create and explore
your own ‘world’ as a path to learning how to use this unique creative method
with clients – whether they are adults, adolescents, children, supervisees or
your own self!
The workshop will cover:
- What
is sand tray work?
- How
did it originate?
- What
is its purpose?
- What
objects do we use?
- How
can we use it effectively?
- Using
sand trays with children, adults and the various settings it might be used
in
