What's so special about the Sandplay & Symbol Work Cert Training that I offer in Singapore?
The work I do, with clients or when training, seeks to ground people in the ability to hold a space for healing. It is not boastful or shouty. It's not a quick fix either. Like Sandplay itself, it is peaceful and gentle, it gets messy sometimes but we can hold that space too and navigate whatever emerges together until you (as a trainee or as a client) are ready to move ahead without me.
And what is so special about this particular sandplay training that you would be willing to offer up your hard-earned cash to learn about Sandplay & Symbol Work from me? Or give up 12 days of your valuable time plus 10 hours of online-learning through peer-presentations of cases to participate?
Well . . .
It's a small-group (max 10 people) which allows it to be a highly individualised and unique training. I am 100% available to trainees throughout the training and beyond, responsive to questions that come up as the trainees go through setting up and beginning to practice. I offer supervision post-course to allow participants to continue to build their confidence in this modality (online or in-person).
It's facilitated by an experienced trainer (me!) who has been using this modality personally with clients as well as training others to use it. I draw on 14 years of practical experience using Sandplay of what works (as well as what doesn't!) and almost 2 decades of experience as a counselor.
It provides 12 days in-person to experience a unique way of learning to conduct Sandplay Therapy and using symbols as creative interventions for clients working through trauma, integrate challenges in life situations, and support them to reconnect with personal resourcefulness and resilience.

Past participants have said:
"I am so incredibly grateful for your guidance and wisdom. You are an inspiration personally and professionally. Thank you for opening up the world of sandplay and symbol work to me - it's been an opportunity to deepen the effectiveness of my ability to help others in my work as well as to grow as a person. Such a wonderful and supportive group of peers. I know we will all stay in touch and continue to learn from each others' experiences using this modality". Participant, School Counsellor, Singapore 2022
"Thank you for your gentleness, grace and wisdom. I have learnt so much from you - not just about sandplay! Learning this modality has helped me shift my belief in who I am as a therapist and understand that it's not just about what we DO but who we ARE when we are with clients. To be present and create a space where clients feel safe enough to share their inner turmoil with us is a key takeaway for me. See you at Supervision!!" Social Worker, Singapore 2019
