hello.. I was interested to join any short course in art therapy but not longer than 3 month. Could you please send me the information about that. TQ
Rob Gray is also offering a wonderful programme (12 mths, over 10 weekends) in Art Therapy.
Rob is the Co ordinator of Centre for Educational and Clinical Art Therapy. It is a fabulous course, I will be graduating in May this year, and I have gained both personally and professionally from the programme. His web site is http://www.cecat.com.au and I would encourage anyone interested in a knowledgeable and hands on course to contact Rob. Currently he is operating at Newcastle and Taree in New South Wales in Australia
There is a Diploma in Transpersonal Art Therapy offered by the College of Complementary Medicine in Sydney. It is a fantastic course I highly recommend it!
Hi Naomi,
Is the Diploma at CCMA reputable? I’ve seen some sites say that you need a Masters to qualify as an Art Therapist or have a background in art. Are you able to work as a therapist with just the diploma?
Thanks

Hello,
I am an Art & Expressive psychotherapist. I am enjoying your website, and i come from Australia. I completed my degrees in expressive therapy and the master of art therapy at the University of Western Sydney.
I see that i am a pioneer for Art Therapy where I live as it is not as well known as other places in the world and work opportunities are not as prosperous as a result.
It would be fantastic to -in the future – work overseas in an english speaking country, but i’m not sure of the cross-over in terms of getting a job and having particular requirements.
However, I am looking to publish my work and articles and would like some advice on where and how to do so. ADVICE please? I have some ideas but am open to more. Especially those that are in various countries because I want to broaden the awareness as much as possible!!
I hope that you might be able to reply with some useful advice.
Thanks!
Sheree.
Hi Sheree,
Check in with us at http://www.atwb.org– Art Therapy Without Borders, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting art therapy throughout the world. I would like to know more about your work. I have published 13 books on art therapy, I recommend Jessica Kingsley for your work, given your location.
All the best, and let’s use art to wake up the world!
I was wondering if you knew of any possible on-line or distance learning for Art Therapy? I want to get my PHD in Psychology (child psychology), and also get an Art Therapy degree. Also, if you happen to know of any schools with the specialization for child psychology? I can’t find seem to that many.

Ikon Institute do various diplomas. I’m doing Transpersonal Art Therapy over 2 years.. Loves it.
I am wondering what you need to do to qualify for these postgraduate courses. I have a double bachelors in Biochemistry and Psychology, but I focused my later study and early career on the Biochemistry. I would love to retrain and I have an interest in Art Therapy, but am not sure that a ten year old degree with mediocre marks in Psych would qualify me
Anyone recommend a good starting point?
I’m a social worker who come from Hong Kong and I would like to take a short course on Art Therapy in Australia. I’m keen on drawing and visual art.
I can only offer a week to a month to study in Australia, would you please suggest me some good courses?
Many Many Thanks!
