Have you ever been worried about a loved one as they go thru something traumatic, and all you want to do is fix it for them. What if, instead of worrying, you find a quiet space and silently send them a burst of "You've Got This " energy, which then helps to stop you worrying and sends them secretively your trust and confidence in their ability to deal with things. Perhaps stay open to seeing improvements in the difficult situation, as its their journey and life experience.

Hi, My Name is Kath Riddell and I am a psychotherapist who specialises in Sandplay Therapy.

Sandplay Therapy is a modality that allows the mind to take a break from overthinking and feeling the need to be in control. Sandplay Therapy involves a client discussing the issue at hand. Once discussed they are able to choose from an array of figurines to put in a small sand tray which then will highlight what has just been discussed. This will help to engage the subconscious mind allowing for an individual to look deeper at their core triggers, enlightening an individual to understand their triggers associated with trauma and Panic Attacks.

Sandplay Therapy is especially effective in allowing a child to be able to express themselves freely in play, as they might not always be able to find the right ways to communicate. It is also beneficial for couples as they’re able to work on a problem together, without hurtful worlds or casting blame and helps uncover the defenses in a playful manner that may be engrained in problematic relationships.

I believe we are all blessed with an internal healing part that is fostered and grows when we know how to love ourselves completely. This means ALL of us even the parts we don’t particularly like. This love is a gift we give ourselves and what healing is all about.

If you think this sounds like it would be best suited for you or your child, please direct message with your phone number and I will follow up with phone call to discuss further.

What is a Co-Dependent Relationship?

An aspect of a Co Dependent relationship that doesn't get much attention is the Us and Them mentality. When in this type of relationship the couple see life as one with similar views and perspectives. That is their strength but also works against them. In order to be tight with one another ,independent thinking is not encouraged. Therefore when things go wrong, the outside other( not the couple) is to blame. This then isolates the couple from other fulfilling relationships and differing perspectives and secures the Us and Them mentality, bringing more cohesion to the couple at the expense of independence and being able to see the bigger picture.
