If you visit our page, I believe it is because you have a passion for art and for helping people and possibly combining these two. If that is the case then you’ve come to the right place! (We have many past students that are currently working very successfully in the field)
I am Lorette Dye and am excited to share with you what is possible.
Let start with the difference between ART THERAPY and ART COUNSELLING.
The difference between Art
therapy and Art counselling
There are a few significant differences but also similarities between ART THERAPY and ART COUNSELLING.
Before I go into the differences and similarities between Art therapy and Art counselling, I want to refer to my book that I’ve written:
Art therapy/techniques across cultural and race boundaries: working with identity, p.57:
“An empty canvas can seem threatening. The moment you lift your paintbrush to make the first strokes, the process is irreversible. It starts a story that is either going to be the way you want it, completely different but still good, or it could be a total failure.” (Dye, 2017)
But no matter where you feel your canvas is now and what is on it, I believe that if your passion is Art and helping people then you should pursue a career in Art therapy or/and Art counselling.
The differences between Art therapy and Art counselling
The similarities between Art therapy and Art counselling:
Both art therapy and art counselling focus on using Art to work therapeutically.

More info on Arts therapy/Counselling(Info on Art therapy for individuals that hope to equip themselves in future as Arts Counsellors) Expressing feelings through creative activities such as painting, drawing and sculpture can create an image of people's emotions. Viewed as a cathartic and non-threatening way of venting repressed feelings, art techniques counselling can help people gain confidence and bolster self-esteem. It is a particularly effective way of communicating for those with emotional challenges, or those with learning difficulties. Art techniques counselling has been shown to be highly beneficial for people battling with eating disorders, addictions and stress. It has also been known to help those coming to terms with bereavement, and those suffering from Alzheimer's and other terminal illnesses. Many hospitals, prisons and institutions employ art techniques counsellors. What does it involve? Source: AATA Our training is for people interested in entry- and mid-level training in Art counselling to be registered as Counsellors to work in different settings including at different organizations, working with individuals or groups as well as with groups of people that are less fortunate and can't afford counselling as well as with people from different Southern African countries as well as countries all over the world.
