Sandtray: Themes and Archetypes Digital Resource

This beautifully designed digital resource is created for therapists, play therapists, counsellors, social workers and professionals who use sandtray or sandplay in their work with children, adolescents, and families.

The resource brings together helpful prompts, theory, and visual summaries to support observation, reflection, and case conceptualisation in sandtray work. It includes guidance on what to look for in a sandtray, including body language, symbols, positioning, water, boundaries, homes, animals, hidden objects, caves, islands, and the overall focus of the tray. It also introduces key archetypes, sandtray themes, Jungian and Kalffian approaches, VERDO reflection prompts, and stages that may emerge in the sandtray process.

Designed in an accessible and visually engaging format, this resource can be used as a quick reference guide before, during, or after sessions.
