SandStory Therapy®
Trainer Programme [Level 1]
.png)
The SandStory Therapy® Trainer Programme was born out of abundance! An increased demand in training and just me to offer it, left me feeling concerned that the training was becoming inaccessible with long waiting lists and the need to travel to London.
​
The idea was born to invite some of the incredibly skilled, empathic and passionate. qualified SandStory Therapists to consider stepping into the role of Trainer and so bring SandStory Therapy® to many places and to many Therapists and Counsellors.
​
In 2024, there are 7 Trainers around the UK. You can find them on the Register of Certified SandStory Therapy® Trainers here and their trainings with locations and dates are at: https://www.sandstorytherapytraining.com/
​
I warmly invite applications from qualified SandStory Therapists who live in Scotland, Ireland, North Wales and the North of England - as well as in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, North and South America, Canada and Afica.
Our SandStory reach is global!

The taught part of the programme is completed by 1 June so the 4 weeks of May are intense as we go through the curriculum for the two days that constitute the 14 hours of the CPD course. In addition, the course is also fully recorded and there is lifetime access to the training.
​
Through June and July, there are a total of 3 individual coaching calls as you create your bespoke training using the templates on offer.
​
In addition, you will set a date for the training and market the course having found a venue and gathered the trays, symbols and all resources.

There is a great deal of support in the wonderful private Facebook Group of Trainers, as well as two Zoom calls each year and a summer event for Trainers at the SandStory HQ!

The SandStory Therapy® Trainer programme really is the complete package for delivering SandStory Therapy® Level 1 to Counsellors and Therapists.
Lara has thought of everything - from teaching the material, to marketing, to supporting Therapists in their journey - it is all there in the programme plus so much more.
I have felt extremely well supported to take this step in my career and honestly, I am so glad I took the leap. I hosted the first training here in Northern Ireland in January and I felt completely safe and held by Lara and the team of SandStory Therapy® Trainers.
With the Trainer manual and online resources at my fingertips I was able to settle into my role as a Trainer and truly enjoy the weekend.
I can't wait for the next one!

Feedback coming
Training to be a SandStory Therapy® Trainer was absolutely one of the best things I have ever done.
I was never in any doubt that Lora would provide nurture, humour, insightfulness and guidance. I can honestly say, having got so much out of the SandStory Therapy® training in the first place, that doing the trainers training was a natural progression for me and I was very honoured to be among like-minded people and share so much with them.
Lara provided so much in the way of content, including paperwork, design, templates etc, that really helped to build the foundations for our training. She continues to support us - sometimes even on a daily basis! If that is what is needed!
One of the things I really like about this wonderful group is that we are all actively encouraged to make the training very much our own and put our own stamp on it.
I am delighted now to be able to bring the magic of SandStory to my community here in East Anglia!

Training with Lara has been a truly inspiring experience!
From the first contact right through the course and to this day, Lara has been incredibly supportive and really empowered me to harness my unique offer in the SandStory world.
The course was engaging and well-paced, I really liked the blend of online live sessions and independent tasks. There is lots of room for personal growth and professional development.
Lara has been so generous in her offer, setting you up with everything you need to deliver a successful SandStory course.
I am excited about all the possibilities ahead and so glad I embarked on this trainer’s journey. It is a real honour to spread the magic of SandStory across the therapy sector.
Thanks Lara!
