Professional Art Therapy: Training and Workshops

The practice offers professional development for clinicians, healthcare workers, educators, and others working in therapeutic or support roles who want to develop their understanding of art therapy and its clinical applications. Workshops are open to professionals without prior art therapy training and are designed to provide both theoretical grounding and practical experiential work.

What the workshops cover

Workshops combine theoretical input — the history and theoretical frameworks of art therapy, its relationship to psychoanalytic and Jungian approaches, current evidence for effectiveness with specific presentations — with experiential work in which participants make images and reflect on the process from both client and therapist perspectives. This dual engagement is important: understanding art therapy from the inside, as a participant in the making process, changes the theoretical understanding in ways that reading alone does not.

Specific topics available as workshop modules include: introduction to art therapy and its clinical applications; art therapy in trauma treatment; art therapy with eating disorders; Jungian approaches to image and symbol; sand tray therapy; mindfulness and image-making.

CPD and supervision

Workshops are suitable for CPD purposes and certificates of attendance are provided. Supervision for clinicians incorporating art therapy approaches into their practice is also available from Dr Jacquet, whose 25 years of integrative clinical work spans psychotherapy, Jungian analysis, art therapy, and EMDR.
