Sandstory Therapy Training with Emma Moat

What is SandStory Therapy®?

SandStory Therapy® is a gentle and safe way of working therapeutically with sand and symbols within a contained sandtray that offers clients the opportunity to tell their ‘story in the sand’.

SandStory Therapy® encourages a respectful and sensitive dialogue between the unconscious and the conscious so that the wisdom from within is heard, seen and experienced. In turn, this is taken into daily life and natural, very organic shifts occur.

SandStory Therapy® has its roots in the narrative tradition of Story-telling and Sandtray Therapy. This latter was developed by Margaret Lowenfeld in the early part of her work in the 1920’s. Having trained in Sandplay Therapy and studied Sandtray Therapy as well as story-telling, SandStory Therapy© has been developed in a way that complements other therapeutic approaches.

SandStory Therapy® has at its heart the therapist’s ability to remain grounded in their own presence and be fully present each moment to their client. It allows them to attune to their client’s needs and pace which enables empowerment and growth for the client.
