The Importance of Art Therapy

Art therapy offers a unique approach to mental health treatment, allowing clients to express themselves in a non-verbal and non-threatening manner. This form of therapy is particularly beneficial for those who may find it difficult to communicate their feelings or experiences through traditional talk therapy. Art therapy has been used successfully to help individuals cope with a wide range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

I really enjoyed the Art Therapy Practitioner course. The course is well set out and offers the option of listening to the information and/or reading it yourself. I appreciated being able to work through it in my own time and at my own pace. The activities provided practical ways of furthering and consolidating understandings and ways to develop various skills and techniques. Thank you.

Clear and genuinely useful

No art or therapy background needed and it still felt thorough. The neuroscience and the hands-on exercises were my favourites, and lifetime access means I can revisit anything whenever I want.

Hi Toño, thank you for sharing this.

It’s great to hear the course felt thorough even without a prior background, and that the neuroscience and hands-on exercises stood out for you. Enjoy that lifetime access.

Just what I was looking for

Love the home study, self-set pace of the course covering some review material and lots of new information. It has been helpful as I've introduced new ways to approach art making with a student who has had some challenges. The section exercises and quizzes were a great way to digest all the information. "Art Heals" by Shaun McNiff is a good companion book to reflect on art therapy in general.

Hi Sandra, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! It’s wonderful to hear the self-paced format worked well for you, and that you’re already bringing new approaches to your art making with a student who’s faced some challenges, that’s exactly the kind of real-world impact we hope for.

Wishing you all the best as you continue putting it into practice!

Hi Priya! Years of wanting to and finally doing it, what a moment. Love that the exercises moved you personally too; that’s often where the real understanding comes from before you can offer it to others.

Wishing you a beautiful path ahead with it!
