Hypnotic Sand Tray Therapy Group Sessions for Kids and Teens

🌻 OCTOBER HYPNOTIC SAND TRAY THERAPY™ – GROWING HAPPY THOUGHTS 🌻

📅 Saturday 10 October

👧🧒 KIDS 6–12 YEARS — 1:00 PM
🧑👩 TEENS 13–17 YEARS — 2:00 PM

This October, our Hypnotic Sand Tray Therapy™ sessions are all about helping children and teens discover something powerful:

✨ Thoughts can change, grow and become more helpful.

Through sand tray exploration, therapeutic storytelling, imagination and gentle hypnosis, participants can explore how they respond when worries, self-doubt, mistakes or negative thoughts appear — and discover new ways of thinking and responding.

🌱 Growing Happy Thoughts explores:

💛 Positive and helpful self-talk
🌈 Developing a healthy growth mindset
🧠 Moving from “I can’t” towards “I can try”
🌻 Finding possibilities when things feel difficult
⭐ Recognising personal strengths
💭 Becoming more flexible with unhelpful thoughts
✨ Building confidence and optimism

Using our Hypnotic Sand Tray Therapy™ Three-Phase Model — Symbol Activation, Deepening and Integration —participants are gently guided to explore their own inner resources through the symbolic world they create in the sand.

Importantly, this isn't about expecting young people to feel happy all the time. All feelings are welcome. The sessions help them discover that thoughts can become more flexible, supportive and empowering.

🦸 NOVEMBER HYPNOTIC SAND TRAY THERAPY™ – MY INNER HERO ⭐

📅 Saturday 7 November

👧🧒 Kids 6–12 years | 1:00 pm
🧑👩 Teens 13–17 years | 2:00 pm

This November, our monthly Hypnotic Sand Tray Therapy™ sessions invite children and teens on a creative journey to discover something that can sometimes be easy to overlook…

✨ The strengths they already have within them.

Young people can sometimes become focused on what they can't do, what went wrong, what others think of them, or the ways they believe they are different.

My Inner Hero creates an opportunity to shift that focus.

Through sand tray exploration, therapeutic storytelling, imagination and gentle hypnosis, participants will be encouraged to discover their personal strengths, recognise what makes them unique and begin building a stronger internal sense of:

💫 “I am capable.”

⭐ My Inner Hero explores:

💛 Recognising personal strengths
🦁 Building courage and confidence
🌱 Developing healthy self-esteem
💭 Creating more supportive self-talk
🧠 Recognising abilities rather than limitations
🌈 Appreciating what makes them unique
💪 Building resilience when things don't go to plan
✨ Discovering their own “inner hero”

Using our Hypnotic Sand Tray Therapy™ Three-Phase Model — Symbol Activation, Deepening and Integration —participants create their own symbolic sand world and are gently guided to discover the resources, strengths and possibilities already within them.

There is no pressure to tell personal stories or discuss problems in front of the group. Sometimes a miniature, character, animal, pathway or something created in the sand can express what words cannot.

And somewhere within that story, a young person may begin to see themselves differently.

🌿 Small therapeutic groups

📅 Saturday 7 November
👧🧒 Kids 6–12 years | 1:00 pm
🧑👩 Teens 13–17 years | 2:00 pm

⭐ This November, let's help young people discover that their greatest hero doesn't have to be someone they look up to…

It can be the person they are becoming.

🎄✨ DECEMBER HYPNOTIC SAND TRAY THERAPY™ – CELEBRATING ME ✨🎄

📅 Saturday 5 December

👧🧒 Kids 6–12 years | 1:00 pm
🧑👩 Teens 13–17 years | 2:00 pm

As another year comes to an end, December is a beautiful opportunity for children and teens to stop, reflect and recognise just how much they have grown.

Our December Hypnotic Sand Tray Therapy™ session is called:

✨ Celebrating Me – Gratitude & Dreams ✨

Rather than focusing only on what they want to change next year, this session encourages young people to first notice something equally important:

💛 How far they have already come.

Through sand tray exploration, therapeutic storytelling, imagination and gentle hypnosis, participants will create a symbolic representation of their year — recognising meaningful moments, challenges they have overcome, people and experiences they appreciate, and strengths they have discovered along the way.

🌟 Celebrating Me explores:

💛 Recognising personal growth
🙏 Developing gratitude
⭐ Celebrating achievements — big and small
🌱 Recognising strengths developed through challenges
💭 Letting go of things they don't need to carry forward
🌈 Creating positive hopes for the year ahead
🎯 Exploring dreams and personal goals
✨ Building confidence in who they are becoming

Using our Hypnotic Sand Tray Therapy™ Three-Phase Model — Symbol Activation, Deepening and Integration —participants are gently guided to create their own symbolic world representing where they have been, where they are now and where they would like to go next.

There is no pressure to share personal experiences with the group. Children and teens can allow their sand tray, symbols and imagination to tell as much or as little of their story as feels comfortable.

And as the session comes to an end, we gently shift the focus toward the future…

What would you like more of next year?

More courage?
More calm?
More confidence?
More friendship?
More adventure?

Sometimes when young people can imagine the person they are becoming, they can begin taking small steps towards that future.

✨ Let's finish the year not by asking children who they need to become, but by helping them recognise everything that is already growing within them. 🌟
