SandStory Therapy®

SandStory Therapy® is a specific therapy modality in the Creative Arts Therapies, which can be offered alone or incorporated within Play Therapy and Creative Arts Therapy sessions. SandStory Therapy® combines the therapeutic use of sand and symbols with storytelling, to support children and young people to gently and safely express and explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. 

SandStory Therapy® does not require any particular creative ability or storytelling talents. As human-beings of all ages, stories naturally emerge as we try to make meaning and understand ourselves and our experiences. SandStory Therapists are specially trained to offer the structure and guidance to support children and young people to 'tell their story in the sand' and to respond to the emotional and symbolic content of an individual's unique story to promote insight, self-awareness, healing, and growth.

SandStory Therapy® is most suitable for children and young people aged 8 years and over.
