The Art Therapy course page offers training for students who wish to become qualified art therapists or adult counsellors. As part of this training path, we offer a Diploma in the Therapeutic Arts as an entry level course, followed by a 3-year clinical training, the MA in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy, which leads to UKCP and HCPC registration, enabling students to work in both public and private settings as an art therapist. Through our professional certificate in counselling skills using the arts, this will provide students with the opportunity to practice as adult counsellors.
