Sandplay therapy
Sandplay is a therapeutic modality that stems from the British physician Margaret Lowenfeld who created with this a non-verbal communication with children in treatment.
Later on this method was further developped by the Jungian psychotherapist Dora Kalff in Switzerland. It is based on the psychological principles of C.G.Jung, who expressed that ”often the hands know how to solve a riddle with which the intellect has wrestled in vain.”
Sandplay is hands-on psychological work, where the client expresses his or her imaginal world using sand, water and miniature objects, or symbols, in a ” free and protected space ” formed by the therapeutic relationship and the sand tray. A series of Sandplay images portrayed in the sand tray create an ongoing dialogue between conscious and unconsious aspects of the psyche, which activates a healing process and development of the personality.
Sandplay as a therapeutic modality can successfully be used in individual work with both adults and children. Sandplay can be used with couples. Sandplay therapy can be used in addition to verbal psychotherapy in Anne-Charlotte Söderström's practice in Helsinki.
Anne-Charlotte Söderström has a practice in Helsinki and Tammisaari (Ekenäs). She speaks English, Swedish and Finnish.
