Description

Art therapy brings together the principles of educational psychology with the creative process of drawing to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviours in constructive ways. This course focuses on the role of art therapy in enhancing communication, promoting self-awareness, and supporting resilience. With an emphasis on drawing as a central method, learners will explore how art therapy can be applied across different settings to encourage healthy coping strategies and improve emotional balance.

The course highlights the connection between art therapy and educational psychology, examining how drawing can be a non-verbal form of expression that bridges gaps in understanding and communication. By studying structured approaches to art therapy, learners will see how drawing fosters cognitive development, creativity, and emotional wellbeing. Educational psychology provides the framework, while art therapy offers practical strategies for working with emotions, problem-solving, and personal growth.

This training shows how art therapy, underpinned by educational psychology, can provide accessible tools for children, adolescents, and adults. By focusing on drawing as both an outlet and a diagnostic tool, art therapy becomes an effective medium for understanding human behaviour and promoting mental health.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
