Online & In-person: Introductory, Certificate & Diploma Courses
Looking for art therapy Singapore? Then you’re part of an increasing number of people looking to enrich their therapy knowledge and skills in a fast-growing area of expertise.
As reported in the Straitstimes, “The increase in the number of people seeking help for mental health issues has prompted the Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH) to start an initiative that provides therapy through art… Global studies have described the positive impact of the arts on mental well-being. A growing body of evidence suggests that engaging in the visual arts for adults with mental health conditions can reduce depression and anxiety, increase self-respect and encourage re-engagement with the wider world. These same benefits are experienced in the counselling of children and teenagers.
If you live in Singapore and you’re looking for an Australian-based educational experience to enrich your therapy skills or to equip you to work as a professional art therapist, College for Educational and Clinical Art Therapy (CECAT) offers a solid education.
At CECAT, students can complete our entire course online from the comfort of their own home. This includes 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!

Robert Gray in 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.
