Art Therapy in South Africa

Art Therapy enables one to express and explore thoughts and feelings facilitated by a professionally trained and registered Art Therapist. The Art Therapist ensures a safe, contained and supportive space in which to work through personal issues and concerns. For many people it's easier to relate to the therapist through the art or the creative process, which provides a medium for discussion and exploration. There is no Art Therapy training in SA. For more info on the international training process please see: https://www.arttherapy.co.za/art-therapy-training-south-africa/
