Art Therapy Training.

To qualify as an art therapist, you need to study an MA Art Therapy course through a training programme approved by the Health and Care Professions Council. Applicants for art therapy training should normally be graduates of art and design, but consideration will also be given to qualified teachers, social workers, psychologists and other professionals with a commitment to the visual arts. The training is available on a part-time basis over a three-year period, and on a full-time basis for two years.

Practicing as an art therapist can be challenging and sensitive work, so applicants need to be mature and flexible. Training usually includes theory work, clinical placements, supervision, research, artwork and attending personal art therapy.
