Whether you commit to a weekend or the full Diploma course, magic happens and each weekend is a journey into the depth of your being. This builds your inner support which in turn expands the work you do with your clients. It’s an absolute privilege for me to observe the changes in students during the courses and hear how their practice changes as a direct result of the learning from these trainings.
Bespoke courses can be offered to organisations and groups of individuals more local to your base or online.
Foundation in Integrative Sandplay
A highly experiential introduction to sandplay therapy which will also build on any prior experience you may have had and act as a refresher and so much more… It is an ideal starting point for anyone wishing to start their sandplay journey and also a good ‘topper upper’ for those who have experienced some sandplay in their learning journey. Based on Jungian and transpersonal perspective.
Feedback for this course is terrific:
‘The best CPD I have ever done’
‘I am full of the weekend…the images I have created are deeply helpful… I feel the three Sandtrays I created have done more for me than a whole year of therapy’

Diploma in Integrative Sandplay Therapy
The course is organised as four 3-day weekends.
It is a highly experiential course which offers a deep dive into your personal and professional journey through the late autumn and winter emerging with the new growth of spring. In my mind it follows the time line of our walnut trees starting as the last walnuts are gathered and dried through to their flowers emerging in the spring.
We will look at:
Themes of practice, Jungian and transpersonal theory, developmental theory, the elements, symbols and symbolism and archetypes, aspects of the practical and how it works in your setting, different ways of introducing sandplay into your practice, sandplay with children and with adults , The Hero / Heroines Journey, The medicine wheel and more.
This year we will start at 11am on Friday morning and finish by 4pm on Sundays to facilitate travel from far and wide.
To participate in this course some experience of sandplay therapy is required – the Foundation in Integrative Sandplay Therapy is an ideal introduction to this course.
This course will bring depth and understanding to your sandplay work from a Jungian and transpersonal perspective, weaving theory and experiential work together. This approach also integrates well with other theoretical perspectives.
