Summary

Claire Wadsworth is a counsellor and Sandtray therapist, currently based in England with over 27 years’ experience of living and working in Asia. She is an International Credited Sandtray Therapist , a member of International Sandtray Association and the World Association of Sand Therapy Professionals.
Claire uses Sandtray as a psychotherapeutic tool in therapy for children, teens, adults, family, group and supervision sessions.
Sandtray is a hands-on and expressive approach that uses miniatures and sand to build 3D scenes. It can incorporate a vast range of techniques from various therapeutic approaches. It can be directive or non-directive, verbal or non-verbal. Clients working through traumatic events, painful or unconscious memories, particularly when too painful to be verbally expressed, discover the sandtray is a safe place to express their emotions, tell their story and find healing, purpose, and direction.
