This course is designed for experienced artists and professionals who have worked within a clinical setting and would like to build a rewarding career as an art psychotherapist.
Students will be taught by leading experts who will equip them with the skills, experience, and confidence to work as an art psychotherapist in challenging, yet rewarding environments. The University of Roehampton's graduating students are eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Registered practitioners work in a variety of different settings including psychiatric hospitals, social services, special education, prisons and the voluntary sector.
This comprehensive programme is divided into three areas covering theory, experiential learning and work placement experience. The theoretical aspect covers child developmental and psychodynamic principles alongside art therapy theory and Jungian analytical psychology. This perspective is located within the larger field of analytical psychotherapy and provides students with an in-depth theoretical underpinning that informs clinical practice.
A vital part of the programme is a supervised clinical placement which allows students to complete one hundred mandatory days of practice during their training. Placements are available in a variety of settings that include mental health (both in the NHS and other psychiatric hospitals and day centres), disabilities services or in hospitals or social services, special education, or a range of other settings.
The full-time course starts with an intensive week followed by two taught days, two further days of clinical placement and one day for studio practice per week. Students will also attend weekly personal therapy which is compulsory to become a professional registered practitioner.
