Our course, carefully designed within the School of Arts & Creative Industries, is the only MSc Art Psychotherapy Degree Apprenticeship in England and has the potential to offer a dynamic, exciting, and personally rewarding career. The course offers a broad understanding of art psychotherapy, covering a range of clinical, theoretical, and practical components.
On completion of the course, apprentices will be able to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (subject to approval) as qualified and professional art psychotherapists, ready for practice.
An art psychotherapist’s task is to support processes of emotional integration by providing a safe, reliable, and therapeutic environment within which the patient or client can create and use art-making to express thoughts and feelings, leading to personal insight and positive change.
