Role

The Art Therapist is to work with children and families of all ages and backgrounds using the visual arts as a medium for healing, awareness and self-development. The aim is to help their clients express intense emotion and explore their thoughts in a non-verbal way, using a wide range of art materials. The intention is not a focus on the artistic skills of the client but their engagement in a creative personal process. They work in either a group or one-to-one setting and provide a safe and secure environment for clients to work through their emotions. Art therapists also work closely with other professionals as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:

  • Taking referrals, including self-referrals and referrals from other professionals such as teachers, psychologists, occupational therapists and speech language pathologists;
  • Making referrals to other professionals;
  • Attending meetings and case conferences to share ideas, expertise and good practice;
  • Assessing the needs of the children and families by listening and providing guidance;
  • Working creatively with various client groups in a therapeutic setting;
  • Working in a group or one-to-one setting, often as part of a multidisciplinary team of professionals;
  • Enabling clients to explore their art work and the process of its production;
  • Assessing and understanding the feelings or temperament of others;
  • Constructively challenging the behaviour and attitude of clients;
  • Keeping up to date with administration: making phone calls; writing reports and case notes; and drafting letters to other professionals;
  • Planning, designing and facilitating a schedule of activities with individuals and groups;
  • Maintaining art therapy space and materials;
  • Receiving support and discussing ideas in individual supervision;
  • Exploring opportunities for work where it may not currently exist;
  • Presenting a case to other professionals on reasons for employing an art therapist;
