Sandplay Therapy is a
hands-on, expressive counselling and psychotherapy modality that has been in
use for over seventy years. Sandplay forms a bridge between verbal therapy and
the expressive therapies, combining elements of each. Sandplay allows the
deeper aspects of the psyche to be worked with naturally and in safety, and is
highly effective in reducing the emotional causes behind difficult behaviours.
This course provides a
thorough training, with extensive practical experience and supervision in the
Expressive Therapies approach to Sandplay Therapy and Symbol Work. The method
of Sandplay that will be introduced was developed by Dora Kalff in the late
1950s, from Dr Margaret Lowenfeld’s play therapy. Kalff, a colleague of the
famous Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, created sandplay based on Analytic
Psychology. Sandplay is now taught and practised around the world, supported by
the International Society for Sandplay
Therapy. Many school counsellors, psychologists and therapists around
Australia have now trained with the Institute in the Expressive Therapies style
of Sandplay, and find it a highly effective way to work, with many benefits for
client and counsellor alike.
About the Trainer:
Lynette trained initially as a teacher specialising
in the primary and early childhood years. She holds a Masters degree in
Education as well as Level 7: Director of Training in Transpersonal and
Emotional Release Counselling, which incorporates Sandplay and Symbol Work. She
has worked with Mark Pearson as a co-trainer for the Certificate in Sandplay
Therapy, and in her private counselling practice Lynette has specialized in
using Sandplay Therapy for children, adolescents and adults for many years. She
believes that each person has an inbuilt healing capacity and with respect,
support and care, the person’s confidence in this inner healing function can
grow – the person discovers what was always ‘known’ – the answers, solutions
are within.
Sandplay is a gradual process, which allows the
inner healing function to present answers in gentle, fun and profound ways. As
well as having journeyed with many individuals over the years in her private
practice, Lynette has been training other professionals in Sandplay Therapy
since 2000 in Queensland and Victoria. She also provides quality supervision
for practitioners using Sandplay Therapy in their practice. Lynette continues
with advanced training and supervision in Sandplay Therapy from leading members
of the International Society of Sandplay Therapy.
