Online & In-person: Introductory, Certificate & Diploma Courses
Searching for art therapy Malaysia? Welcome, you’ve come to the right place! You are also joining a growing number of people aiming to expand their knowledge and skills in therapy in what is now a blossoming area of expertise.
The Malaysian Association of Psychotherapy (MAP) describes art therapy as “a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behaviour, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.” Those studying art therapy regularly confirm that not only are they further equipped to help others but their own lives are enriched in the process, too.
If you live in Malaysia and you are on the look out for an Australian-based educational experience to strengthen your own therapy skillset or would like to work as a professional art therapist, the College for Educational and Clinical Art Therapy (CECAT) will provide you with a solid education.
At CECAT, our students are able to finish our entire courses online; yes, from the comfort of their own homes. The courses are enriched with one-on-one Zoom meetings with our Director and Senior Lecturer, psychologist Robert Gray.
If you prefer an in-person course structure, we hold in-person courses in Kuala Lumpur, where you’ll get to work with Robert in person! These Intensives run over an engaging 2 Days (introduction), 5 Days (after completing the 10 Certificate modules) and 3 Days (after completing the 5 Diploma modules). A total of 10 days, and you’re a professional art therapist!

Feedback from Rob’s recent visit to Singapore
View pictures and feedback from Rob’s recent visit to Singapore.
Last year’s intensives were an absolute game-changer for me. And Robert? Honestly, he’s in a league of his own. He knows his stuff inside and out, mixing art therapy and psychology like it’s nothing. But it’s not just his smarts. He’s got this incredible way of making everyone feel seen and safe, which just blows me away.
I’ve been buzzing ever since, super eager to spread all I’ve learned from Robert here in Singapore. I am hoping to have a community of like-minded friends to spread this wonderful healing modality together; hence, I am so happy that Robert will be in town to teach.
Trust me, after his class, you’ll be pumped, full of hope, and ready to weave this magic into your own work or life. The insights you’ll dig up about your own stories and how you can use what’s taught are mind blowing, seriously. It’s not just learning; it’s about transforming how you see and do things.
