Art Therapist

Art therapists use creative processes like painting, drawing, and sculpture to help people express and manage their emotions. Working with clients of all ages, they support individuals dealing with mental health conditions, disabilities, trauma, or social difficulties. Art therapy is not about teaching art or judging artistic skill, but about providing a safe space for clients to explore their feelings and experiences through creative expression. Art therapists often work in hospitals, schools, mental health services, community organisations, and private practice. The role requires strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds.
