Currently Jean is specialising in supervision, mentoring and professional development courses in Jungian/Kalffian Sandplay Therapy.

Prior to completing a Masters in psychodynamic Art Therapy at the University of Western Sydney 2003-4 I trained in Reality and Narrative Therapy. I currently hold full membership and supervision status with ANZACATA. Additionally I am a Certified Sandplay Therapist and Teaching Member for ISST  and  on the Executive of STANZA.

The Space Between has offered a welcoming space for children, their families, adolescent and adults since 2005, in the central East Auckland area. I became a Certified Teaching Member (CST-T) for the International Society for Sandplay Therapy in 2019. My practice is now focused primarily on Supervision, teaching and mentoring in Sand Tray and Jungian-Kalffian Sandplay Therapy.
