Art Therapist

Art therapy is a mental health profession that integrates art-making with psychological frameworks and counselling techniques. It enhances emotional well-being by providing a safe and creative outlet for expressing emotions, particularly for those coping with stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or chronic health conditions.

Art Therapists focus on building therapeutic relationships while maintaining clinical boundaries. No artistic skill is required; the focus is on fostering self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth in a supportive environment. At our institutions, Art Therapists work with children, adolescents, and adults to support their mental and emotional well-being.
