Art Psychotherapy Foundation Course

Short Courses and CPD School of Psychology

Course Details

Introduction

The general aim and intention of this course is to provide a broad outline and introduction to the subject of Art Psychotherapy. At Roehampton we consider that Art Psychotherapy is one of the 'Psychological Therapies' and that other Psychological Therapies include disciplines such as Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy

As a specialised form of Psychotherapy that it is largely underpinned by Psychoanalytical theories, our Foundation Course is largely underpinned and informed by theories and models from Jungian 'Analytical Psychology'. The course itself is highly 'experiential' in nature. However, we stress that it is not intended to provide 'therapy' as such to the participants

The programme of experiential workshops will include a one full-day induction and introductory workshop to begin the course, to be held in October, with weekly evening classes to follow and finishing with a full Plenary Day to close in the following March. These workshops will be facilitated by qualified and experienced art therapists

Audience & Outcomes

Participants come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences including individuals wishing to prepare to apply for a qualifying Masters programme in Art Psychotherapy. Others complete the course as CPD and yet others are simply curious to learn about the topic

You will need to attend a minimum of 70% of the course and the assessment process in order to receive an electronic attendance certificate

We stress that completion of the Art Psychotherapy Foundation Course does not imply that you can practice Art Psychotherapy nor does successful completion of the Foundation Course guarantee a place on a relevant Masters degree

Tutors

Online tutor

Katie qualified as an Art Psychotherapist at Goldsmiths University in 1999 and undertook an MA in Advanced Clinical practice also at Goldsmiths in 2006. Since this time, she has worked in a variety of settings including In-patient adult Psychiatry, forensic mental health, CAHMS, Schools, and with children and Families living in refuges through the domestic abuse charity Solace.

In 2016 she completed a PG Cert in Systemic Psychotherapy at the Institute of Family Therapy and integrates systemic thinking into her clinical practice. She prioritises a partnership approach to both her therapy and teaching roles, being curious about the impact of difference, and the scope of intersectionality within the work she does. She currently works part-time within the independent sector and in private practice in South-East London as a supervisor and trauma specialist having completed an additional training in EMDR Psychotherapy in 2022.

Katie has been involved with the MA and Short Courses trainings at Roehampton for many years and supervises Art, Dance Movement Psychotherapy, and Dramatherapy trainees in her current post within adult mental health. She developed the online Art Psychotherapy Foundation in 2020 and enjoys supporting students in their learning journey and personal development through sharing theory, working experientially with the art medium, and through case study exploration of her own clinical practice.
