Overview

This comprehensive course in Psychology introduces you to the core concepts of mental health, psychology, and the therapeutic applications of art therapy. Throughout the course, you'll explore psychological frameworks and mental wellness techniques that integrate artistic expression into supportive interventions for individuals facing emotional and cognitive challenges.

Topics include understanding psychological disorders, the emotional impact of trauma, and the use of art therapy as a communication tool in mental health care. By connecting art therapy with foundational psychology principles, this course highlights how colour, shape, and form can reflect internal emotional states and enhance mental wellbeing. The course takes a deep dive into how creativity encourages self-expression and can unlock suppressed feelings, which are often difficult to articulate verbally.

You'll explore real-world uses of art therapy in group and individual mental health contexts, while reinforcing how psychology theories support these methods. The course also reviews emotional regulation, resilience, cognitive behaviour patterns, and therapeutic observation techniques — all grounded in mental health awareness.

By the end of this course, learners will have developed a strong understanding of the synergy between art therapy, mental health, and psychology in various care and support environments.

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.
