Melissa Alford

With a Graduate Certificate in Sandtray Therapy completed in March 2023, complementing my Bachelor of Education (0-8) and additional qualifications, I bring a comprehensive understanding of child development and therapeutic interventions to my role as a Sandtray Therapist. Since completing my certification, I have been working actively as a sandtray therapist and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of allied health practitioners to design and implement a transdisciplinary early intervention approach for children aged 0-9. My work focuses on integrating sandtray therapy into individualised therapy plans, providing a structured and safe environment that supports emotional expression, self exploration, social skills, and self-regulation. This collaborative approach allows us to deliver holistic, targeted support tailored to each child, fostering meaningful progress through creative and evidence-based practices.
