Sandplay Therapy offers clients:

  • a means by which children and adults, unable to articulate their feelings and experiences, can find expression and integration
  • safe entry into the deeper archetypal, mythic and transpersonal realms of the psyche
  • an activation of their natural, self-healing capacity
  • an opportunity for a creative non-rational experience, as a balance to society's over-emphasis on the ego's intellect

The training will provide participants with an outline of:

  • Jung's process of Individuation
  • the theoretical basis of working with Sandplay Therapy as a therapeutic tool

The aim of group supervision is to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere for professional enrichment.It offers an opportunity for the cross-fertilization of ideas, continued learning and self-discovery. It is also a time to share and relax with our peers and colleagues. These Sunday morning sessions will be a time for supervision and professional development through the sharing of case studies, questions, and topics relevant to the theory and practice of:
~ expressive therapies ~ sandplay ~ transpersonal counselling & art therapy.

Why is clinical supervision important?

Supervision has been defined by Armstrong (2003) as "the process whereby a therapist can discuss personal, professional, business and industry related issues with a senior, appropriately trained therapist (supervisor), with the view to resolving professionally orientated issues and with the intention of helping to further evolve in a positive manner as a therapist."

It provides an opportunity for the counsellor/therapist to be enriched and expanded personally and professionally. Ultimately it provides a safety net for the clients of the counsellor/therapist by ensuring the counsellor/therapist continually develops their professional practice in all areas and remains psychologically healthy.

"The transformation of the lower self is the heroic journey for our times. The hero’s path for our day is to go inward, not outward; to travel deep into the basements of our inner darkness, where we will meet and transform our devils and demons."
Eva Pierrakos
