Course summary

This programme will provide you with a broad understanding of the theories and practices of art psychotherapy necessary for safe and effective clinical work.The Masters enables you to practise as an art therapist in the NHS, Social Services, and educational establishments, and to become a practitioner registered with the British Association of Art Therapists.Your learning is underpinned by the principles and practices of psychodynamic psychotherapy practised within the context of mental health care, and informed by contemporary art practice.Via theoretical studies, clinical work and experiential learning you will integrate cognitive understanding and practical experience with a developing awareness of self and others. The nature of the therapeutic relationship between the client, their artwork, and the art therapist is explored, and you have the opportunity to put your learning into practice through two 60-day placements that are supervised and supported in-depth.You are encouraged to develop your own art practice, and to situate your work in relationship to your development as a therapist, to contemporary art practice and to psychoanalytic theories. You're required to be in personal therapy throughout the programme (please note that this is at your own cost).Completing this Masters makes you eligible to apply for registration with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC).
