1. Employee


Most of our students start their career path by applying for a local counselling position. Why counselling? Counselling is the generic name for what we all do—including psychologists, social workers, psych nurses, counsellors, welfare workers and art therapists.


Being a member with the Australian Community Counselling Association (ACCA) will help especially if you don’t have any other professional memberships. With this, you can represent yourself as a professional counsellor, with art therapy as your approach, similar to a psychologist whose approach might be behavioural therapy.



You could end up with a non-governmental position in a NGO, like in Wesley Mission or a neighbourhood centre. Or you could apply for a job in a governmental agency, such as drug and alcohol counselling, child protection counselling and the like. Others end up working in rehab centres, schools or aged care facilities. There are endless opportunities for you if you are a creative, passionate person with a big heart and are well trained.



2. Business Owner

Running your own art therapy clinic is the dream of many, as it gives you independency and ownership of what you do best. Most of us rent a room in a health centre, shared by other clinicians, like GPs, OTs, psychologists, social workers, dieticians and the like.



3. Freelancer

Many art therapists around the world love being in between 1 and 2, and that works well with their creative and organic nature. They prefer not worrying about what tomorrow may bring and live more in the moment. They commit themselves to some projects at their local schools (for example, one term of ‘anger management’ and one term of ‘increasing self esteem’) and retirement homes (for example, every Wednesday), leaving plenty of time to see clients online or face to face while running an art class at the local art centre or gallery.



4. Transform your Current Position

As many of our students are artists, they want to teach art from a deeper place with a greater impact on their students, but also make their own position more enjoyable in return.



The other group of students we have are counsellors and psychotherapists from various backgrounds. Since they are already counselling people, they would like to be more effective in what they do, go deeper and empower their clients to own this journey of healing and transformation.

Not at all. The course is designed to be accessible for complete beginners, while providing the clinical depth required by experienced professionals. Our student community is a unique mix of those new to the field and experts in their own right—including art lecturers, counsellors, and clinical psychologists. Rob’s teaching style ensures that, whether you are starting from scratch or building on years of practice, the content is practical, fresh, and professionally rewarding.
