The creation of art in the presence of a trained art psychotherapist can have a profoundly positive effect on people with emotional, behavioural, mental health or physical problems. Art therapy is not a recreational activity (although the sessions can be enjoyable) but a form of psychotherapy that helps people address confusing and distressing issues. This course, the only MSc in Art Therapy in the UK, will introduce you to the profession, theory and practice of art psychotherapy. Regular practice placements working with clients will build on your theoretical learning and allow you to apply your developing skills. Your learning will be enriched by the interdisciplinary structure of the course as you study alongside your peers on our Music Therapy and Play Therapy MSc courses. All students are required to be in personal psychotherapy throughout the duration of the course.
