Every child is unique, which is why the therapeutic approach is selected individually, taking into account the child’s age, developmental characteristics, and current emotional state.
The work is carried out in a safe, supportive, and emotionally comfortable environment.
In my practice, I use age-appropriate methods adapted to the child’s needs and therapeutic goals, including:

Sandplay therapy is a psychological method in which a child creates their own world in a sandbox using miniature figures, natural materials, and symbolic objects. Through play, children can express emotions, experiences, and inner conflicts, even when they struggle to describe them verbally.

How Does a Session Work?
The child chooses figures (people, animals, fairy-tale characters, symbolic objects) and creates their own world in the sandbox.
The psychologist observes the process, asks gentle questions, and supports reflection without interfering directly in the child’s play. This creates a sense of emotional safety and freedom.
Over time, difficult emotions and life situations are processed naturally through symbolic play.
Before the first session, I provide parents with detailed guidance on how to prepare the therapeutic workspace.
This is not simply a game — it is a gentle and supportive way to help a child cope with emotional difficulties and inner experiences.
🏖 Average duration: 8–15 sessions
