Students must complete a postgraduate qualification approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HSPC), such as a Master's degree in Art Therapy or Art Psychotherapy. Before applying for a course, they usually need a degree in art, psychology, or a related subject along with experience working in mental health or social care settings.
Art Therapists working for the NHS typically start on Band 6 of the pay scale, earning between £35k and £42k per year. With more experience, they can move up to Band 7, earning up to £50k or more.
Art Therapists working in charities or community settings might earn less, but the role can still be very rewarding.
