Karen Daniel has been involved in the field of personal development and therapy since her initial training 1981. A dedicated and inspired therapist, Karen has been in private practice as a sandplay therapist and psychotherapist for over 40 years.
Her love of dance and movement also weaves itself through her work and she has run courses in Natural Dance with various Adult Community Education Centres throughout QLD and NSW.
Originally working and training in Transpersonal Breathwork at the Living Waters Centre in the Blue Mountains in the early 80’s, Karen also studied Sandplay Therapy and Jungian psychology with Patrick Jansen, co-director of Living Waters Centre. Patrick Jansen was a Jungian Analyst who trained at the Jung Institute in Zurich with Dora Kalff (the originator of Sandplay). Karen was then on the staff at the Centre for many years.
Branching out to develop her own work, Karen co-founded and co-directed the Inner Work Centre in the Blue Mountains, facilitating individual, group and training programs until 1996 when she left the Blue Mountains to live and work in northern NSW, near Byron Bay.
In 2002-2005 Karen’s work expanded to include a practice in Brisbane and Sydney. The continuing growth of the work here in Sydney prompted her move to settle on the North Shore where Karen originally grew up. She has re-established the Institute in Turramurra, surrounded by bushland and birdsong . For the last 20 years, this is were Karen has lived and worked.
Karen has run professional development sandplay therapy training courses both privately and for many organisations over the past 20 years. She is passionate about the effectiveness of this modality and continues to keep up with current thinking in this field by attending national and international seminars and conferences.
A wonderful opportunity to take Sandplay to the Philippines happened in 2006 when Karen and a colleague facilitated a introductory Sandplay Training course for the Welfare Workers and Psychologists at Bantay Bata, a children’s orphanage near Manilla.
She is a Clinical Member of the Australian Counselling Association and a qualified clinical supervisor and trainer.Â
