The Sand & Sound Centre

Welcome to the Sand & Sound Centre. Here you can find out about and experience the transformative power of Sandplay Therapy and Sound Therapy, as well as other creative approaches for personal discovery, healing and growth.

Discover the magical qualities of the timeless Sand and the vast array of archetypal Symbols, as you create a picture of your inner world and explore your truth in a specially designed Sandtray.

Experience the transcendent sounds of the Gongs and other healing instruments, relax deeply and easily, and re-connect to all aspects of your being.

Explore your life's challenges, relationships and your sense of self through counselling and psychotherapy.
