I'm thinking about studying art therapy.
+Taylor Lynn it's great to hear you're interested in studying art therapy. To become an arts therapist, you'll need to study a pre-approved art therapy postgraduate degree which will lead to registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).To study the postgraduate degree, you'll need a first degree in art or a related subject; some universities may accept you onto the course with an art degree if you have a strong background in art.

I think I needed this to confirm that I want to be an art therapist. I’ve been struggling with what I want to do even after getting my BSK. But I found out about art therapy and it resonates with my soul. This is what I want to do. Thank you for this video.

me 2 art therapy it resonates with my soul i want to learn it
You usually need at least three A levels including art but it's always a good idea to check with the university or universities you are thinking of applying to for their requirements.
Good luck!
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
This is very true art therapy really works ... Its can change the mood, behaviour etc..
Thanks Neil. Really useful to our online foundation diploma art therapy students:)

Good luck!

art therapy can be anything from collages to molding with clay to making crafts with cloth or yarn. It's basically crafts, drawing, painting, anything that relaxed the patient enough to express themselves through the art and eventually verbally. If you search it on youtube you'll get some cool projects that art therapists use.
Hi, I am considering a career in art therapy. I studied an art course at university and now have graduated. Would it be possible to start a career in art therapy without studying the exact course at uni?
wow that is amazing! i would absolutely love to work around the world with art therapy services.

hi, are you an art therapist already? 😊😊
Great video! Im starting my postgraduate masters on September 5th in MSc Art Psychotherapy at Queen Margaret University! To become an art therapist has been my dream for a long time! My only problem is funding but it wont stop me from avhieving my dream as an art therapist! Any advice for starting this course?! ☺
Hi Debbie,
It's great that you are following your dream, to be an art therapist you need professional experience in an area of therapy or health care. This may be from working in, for example, nursing, social work, special needs or psychotherapy. Or you may have voluntary experience of working with people in a therapeutic setting.
You will usually need a first degree in art or a relevant subject.
To practice as an art therapist, you must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
In order to register with the HCPC, you must first successfully complete an approved postgraduate qualification in art therapy. Courses take two years full time or three years part time. They cover the psychology of image making, therapeutic relationships, the importance of boundaries and psychological and psychotherapeutic practice.
You will usually need a first degree in art or a relevant subject. You may be accepted onto a course without an art degree, if you have a strong art background. Those accepted onto the courses are usually mature, flexible people who have had experience of working in mental health, education, special needs or social services before applying. You will need to show a portfolio of your art work.
The British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) runs an Introduction to Art Therapy course which could help you decide if this is the right career area for you.
Once you’ve successfully completed a programme approved by the HCPC, you are then eligible to apply for registration with the HCPC. Once registered as a practitioner, you’ll be required to retain your name on the register by keeping your knowledge and skills up to date and paying an annual retention fee.
If you would like to speak to the HCPC regarding approved courses then you can find them at: www.hcpc-uk.co.uk/

Your comment wa smade 4 years ago, so I am guessing that you are already working as an Art Therapist. Please, tell me about it? How was your time at the university and how was the MSc itself. Do you like work?
Hello! I’m currently a sophomore
in high school trying to figure out what I’m going to do with my future, I’ve thought about doing art therapy for a long time but I’m confused as to how I would become an art therapist, do you go to art school or medical school? Is it expensive and how long does it take? If you answer this it would be super cool if it was in words and terms I could understand haha. ☺️
Hi, thank you for contacting Health Careers. Its great that you would like to start a career within the NHS.

Many Thanks,

Hi. I am a freshman in high school and i really liked your comment. I have always enjoyed art and medical things. I have no experience but the best advice i would have is to ask people. I am in a Biomedical Science class. Find people around you in the career and ask them the reality of their occupation. And even if you get done with medical school or art school and decide you dont want to do that pathway it isnt wasted because you are still learning and the more you learn the better off you are. I wish you the best on trying to find out what you want to do. Ps. That is a good question to ask an art therapist if you go to art school or medical school
I have been seeing Dr Kerri and Rodger ( art therapist). . . . . .
Hi Erika, as we are the careers service for healthcare staff in England we are cannot tell you which courses to take at your community college but it is worth asking them and what opportunities are available locally. And people with pyschiatric disorders often help people with similiar problems. To work as an art therapist in England you will also need to undertake a university degree but worth speaking to someone at your college who can provide more specific advice. Good luck!
Thank you
Can I become an art therapist by getting my bachelors in psychology then going to study on specifically in studio arts or art therapy it self?
I am an aspiring art therapist and I am looking to pursue my Masters in Art Therapy/Art Psychotherapy. Which Art Therapy / Art Psychotherapy program from University in the UK would you recommend for me to pursue for a good career as an Art Therapist?
I’m thinking about doing art therapy but was wondering if you can get an apprenticeship in it, also I’m not great at drawing would this matter. Another question can you choose what kind of patrons you get for example I don’t think I’d be good at helping people who have experienced loss.
Hey! I don't know if you'll respond to this but I wish you will
I'm a 16 y/o high schooler in Malaysia,which is located in Southeast Asia. I've been thinking about my future career and I've decided to achieve a career as an art therapist. Can you give me an advice as to how I can become one? Maybe the subjects I have to learn or the degrees I have to achieve
What do you have to study to be Art therapist psychology or fine Arts.? . I am very good in Art

can you get onto this course with an illustration degree?
hi, I’m not sure if these comments are still read but I’ll give it a shot anyway. I’m looking to become an art therapist in England, and am in secondary school at the moment. Most mentions of the route into the career are all about A-levels, but I personally am more inclined towards going to college, then to a university. Three questions:
- is it strictly A-levels that are necessary for the job?
- does the MA have to be in art therapy or can it be in another course related to art, ie art and design?
- if the MA can be in something other than art therapy, is any degree/education in psychology necessary or is it just arts?
thanks! Sorry if anything has been answered already.
Thank you for contacting Health Careers Beans. It’s great to hear you are still at school and you are considering a career as an Art Therapist within the NHS.

An Art therapist is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as its main mode of expression and communication. You'll use art to help people deal with complex and confusing emotional issues. There may be things which clients cannot say in words. This could be because the emotions are too distressing or because the client has difficulties with communication.

@@HealthCareers Thank you so much for your response! I’ll take a look at the website :) - beans
Thank you for contacting Health Careers Beans. We do hope you find our information informative. Your feedback is important to us and we are grateful of your comments. Best wishes. Health Careers Team.
Hi beans, I just so happen to have see your question 8 days after you had written it! I am currently studying the Art Psychotherapy MA in London. To become an Art Therapist you have to study one of the accredited Masters through a uni (there are also I believe apprentiships but I dont know too much about these)
Art Therapy is a protected title and to be able to legally practice it in th UK, you have to train through one of these courses. You cant be an art therapist through other routes.
With my uni, you had to have an Art based undergratduate degree and then at least two years of 'clinical experience' to be able to get on the course. This is working with vulnerable people in some capacity either as a job or volunteering. This is a very important part of the process as you need to be emotionally ready for working with clients.
I had worked in charities and in a special school (I was an art teacher for years)
The youngest person we have on our course is 24 years old but this is really quite young for the training and its mainly because she had expereince working in an NHS forensic mental health unit. Most students are older with more professional and life experience.
My advice is to hold onto this dream and think about the routes into the training. You'll almost cerainly need an arts based undergraduate degree and then minimum of two years clinical experience in a job or volunteering. This isnt a job you can really go straight into from school or undergraduate uni.
Get some advice from the different uni courses as they will be happy to advise you. Just be prepared that it will take a good few years to get to the training but it will come! Good luck!!
@@kdoddy8711 wow thank you so much for replying! This is really interesting and encouraging to hear, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond :) - beans
I'm studying therapeutic psychology at uni and it's designed for arts and play therapy. i don't have an art degree or a strong art background.... i just draw when i'm free but i'm interested in making art therapist my future career.

I'm really interested in becoming an Art Therapist. I completed my first Art degree three years ago and have since been teaching in a glass blowing studio. But is there any way to get funding for the postgrad? Is the qualification eligible for the new masters funding the government are introducing in August this year? It is so expensive and I don't think I can afford the fees, I'm in the south so I would be studying in pricey London.

Thanks for getting in touch with us. It's great to hear you are interested in the art therapist role. Art therapy is one of the allied health professions which means you will need to hold professional registration in order to practice in this area.

Nice.
I'm not sure if this account is still active but I'm currently doing A-Levels in Art, Psychology and English Language - I was wondering if a joint undergraduate degree in Art and Psychology would suit becoming an art therapist? And afterwards a postgraduate Art Psychotherapy degree? Thank you! :)
Hi Lauren an approved post graduate course is the recommended route into the role of an art therapist. An apprenticeship for this role has also been approved so check out the NHS Jobs website because they are advertised there. Make sure you register and set a marker for NHS Jobs to notify you when they become available, because many vacancies are closing quickly due to high numbers of applicants.

I am planning on doing this after high school. Can someone tell me if this is a good career to go into?
It's been a while. So did you get into it?
Whats the pay scale for a graduate art therapist? i have a background in design, arts and teaching..
Thank you for contacting Health Careers. It’s good to hear you are looking for information regarding the pay scale for an art therapist.

Hi I'm interested in art therapy for my future career! I've just done my GCSEs and did art and design. Now I'm doing sociology and fine art for a level! I'm just wondering though are there any specific grade requirements or subject requirements? For example would I have to study phycology alevel? Unfortunately due to my d in science I couldn't choose it. So would that reduce or exclude my chances of ever being able to study art therapy? Obviously I'm not thinking about degrees yet, but it would be great to hear what are some good subjects for me to pick! Or would art therapy be something you study at university itself? Sorry I have a lot of questions, but I'm interested!

Hi I'm an artist who would really want to sort therapy, but does the NHS have much need for art therapists, and is it true the pay starts at band 6?
Most art therapists in the NHS work part-time hours, pro-rata of a standard 37.5 hour week. Entry-level art therapy posts typically start at band 6 of the agenda for change pay rates.
It is difficult to say on the demand for art therapists because the number of posts changes day to day, sometimes hour by hour. If art therapy is something you are interested in doing take a look at the job role on the NHS Health careers website. www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/allied-health-professionals/roles-allied-health-professions/art-therapistart-psychotherapist
@@HealthCareers thanks for the info, I've looked at the website, do you think a person in Essex with a degree in art therapy is definitely able to get a job in the NHS?
What are the jobs like for art therapists in Uk are there many positions ?
Hi Limit less,
Thanks for getting in touch with your enquiry.
To work as an arts therapist (which includes art therapists, drama therapists and music therapists), registration can only be obtained through an approved postgraduate qualification.

In regards to your query on the amount of positions available. All NHS trust are responsible for their own hiring so it may be a good idea to speak with your local trust directly.

is art therapy a demanding job ?
Hi sI Lm,
Thanks for getting in touch.
Art therapists use art to help people tackle their emotional and behavioural issues.
You'll use art to help people deal with complex and confusing emotional issues. There may be things which clients cannot say in words. This could be because the emotions are too distressing. Or it may be because the client has difficulties with communication.
You'll work with people of all ages - children, young people adults and the elderly. Your clients may have a range of difficulties such as emotional, behavioural or mental health problems, learning or physical disabilities, life-limiting conditions, neurological conditions or physical illnesses.
So it can be demanding but at the same time when you see the results of the work you do with clients and there progress it can also be extremely rewarding.
