This Diploma in Expressive Arts programme is aimed at professionals who wish to enhance their current practice in the use of expressive arts, or those who wish to integrate the academic and practical applications of the creative process into their therapeutic work with people. The programme is experiential in nature and the focus is on personal exploration using expressive arts techniques.

"I believe that creativity is like freedom, once you taste it, you can’t do without it. It is a transformative and healing process."

“Throughout the 6 weekends I always felt the work I did came from me, and in no way was dictated or directed by the facilitator. I was guided and supported by them and that was really important to me. As a result, my art, and that of all the other 9 participants, was original, authentic and was always respected. Over the following weekends we painted, sculpted, moved, danced, wrote, cried, laughed, let all our sounds out, and great discussions took place and work was done, as trust was built in the group. This was not just a verbal form of expression, or a discussion of what the theory of expressive arts is about, no, it was an experience of getting down and doing the work ourselves; it was a way of showing us up-close how to bring this to our clients. After each piece of work the group came together and each person shared what the picture or piece that they had completed meant to them.”
- Mitzie Murphy
