Jill Carter is a pioneer of Trauma-Informed Sandplay UK. Our sandplay and creative trauma courses were developed be Jill. These are the only ones in the country to integrate traditional talking therapies (object relations, Jungian, Gestalt, person-centred and Transpersonal) with creative media such as sandplay, art, meditation, music and movement. Her ‘Working Creatively with Trauma’ course is unique in examining and illustrating trauma models through the lens of creative media such as sandplay with an open, compassionate and questioning heart. This makes even the most complex theories accessible to counsellors and psychotherapists working with children, adolescents and adults.

Jill is a qualified Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychotherapist and Supervisor (MA, UKCP and BACP) with nearly 20 years experience of working creatively. In addition, she is also an EMDR Therapist.
