Namu Hana Sandplay Psychological Counseling Research Institute

A counseling space where you can meet your child's feelings through play

This is a professional psychological counseling space where your child can naturally express emotions through sandplay. It feels comfortable and approachable like play, yet it is run by specialists including a sandplay therapist and a clinical psychologist, which can feel especially reassuring for parents.

Understanding your child's feelings through sandplay

Counseling is conducted by creating stories using sand and figurines. Even children who find it hard to express themselves with words can participate with less pressure, so it is a good fit for families seeking child counseling.

Counseling that also helps caregivers prepare

While your child is in counseling, the caregiver fills out an 8-page questionnaire at a table outside, covering the child's developmental characteristics and relationships with parents and primary caregivers. It is a meaningful part of the process that helps you understand your child more deeply.
