Using Sand Trays and Objects
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
