Freud's miniatures

Self-expression in play

Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul.

  Friedrich Froebel

Psychotherapy with children is based upon the fact that play is the child’s natural medium of self expression. It is an opportunity which is given to the child to “play out” his or her feelings and problems.

Depth work

Jungian sandplay!

Sandplay therapy 

Facilitates the individuation process of each person's journey.

Frees creativity, inner feelings, perceptions and memories, bringing them into outer reality and providing concrete testimony

Creates bridges from the unconscious to the conscious, the inner to the outer world, mental and spiritual to physical, non-verbal to verbal.

Invites spontaneous play; no right or wrong way to do sandplay.

Functions as a  common language for use with diverse cultures and developmental stages

Empowers the client to explore and create!
