Art Psychotherapy

I am currently in the process of completing my MA Art Psychotherapy training. Art psychotherapy, also known as art therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that uses art as a primary means of communication and expression. Art therapists use art to help people address emotional issues, build self-esteem, and improve their cognitive functions.

Who is art therapy suitable for?

Art therapy can help people of all ages and at all stages of life, including those whose life has been affected by difficult personal or cultural experiences, illness and/or disability. You do not need to be skilled in art to benefit from art therapy.

How is art therapy regulated?

In the UK, the title art therapist and art psychotherapist are protected by law. All UK art therapists must be state registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). All registered art therapists can be found on the HCPC’s register.
