Sandtray therapy

Sandtray therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses a shallow container filled with sand and small figurines to help individuals express thoughts and feelings non-verbally. Clients create scenes that represent their inner experiences, providing a safe, creative space to explore emotions, conflicts, and insights. The therapist observes and sometimes discusses these scenes to facilitate understanding and healing. It’s particularly effective for children, but also beneficial for adults, as it allows for symbolic communication beyond words, helping process complex or difficult life situations in a tangible, calming environment.
