Overview

Postgraduate Art Therapy Training

Part Time and Full Time

The City & Guilds Membership Level 7 Art Therapy Course is an integrated programme including seminars, lectures, experiential art therapy group work, supervision, clinical practice and tutorials.

The course includes a dynamic in-depth study of art therapy focussing on human development and psychotherapeutic, social, medical and spiritual models of understanding.

Issues such as difference and culture are explored. Anthroposophic, psychodynamic, humanistic and integrative approaches are compared, contrasted and researched. The course helps students examine how the anthroposophic and psychodynamic models work with the therapeutic relationship to facilitate the process of healing. It places due emphasis on competence, safety and good practice.

Foundation Course in Art Therapy

This course is intended for people who are interested in Anthroposophic art therapy and are considering applying to the Hibernia post-graduate programme. It offers a practical and experiential introduction to art therapy as well as insights into anthroposophy and its practical application. Fundamental to Hibernia's approach is the perception that the human being and the natural world need to be understood physically as well as in terms of soul and spirit.  The course is run in a block format and each four-day weekend block can also be taken as a stand-alone personal development course for those interested in specific modules. 

Hibernia College

Hibernia College aims to provide high quality
education and research in the field of art therapy and related health and educational studies based on an integrated
Anthroposophic approach.

From its inception this approach to medicine and therapies has been
complimentary to
education, conventional
medicine and therapeutic models and are not an alternative to them.

Art and Human Consciousness

The course emphasises a balance between study and practice, between gaining insights from the past and exploring the future. Knowledge of the human being, the journey of our lives and transformations in human consciousness are central to our approach. We work with motivated students who want to deepen their means of artistic expression, to develop therapeutic modalities for supporting individuals and/or communities in times of transition or who want to cultivate artistic approaches to teaching.

Short Courses and Events

Hibernia also run a wide range of short courses and events. For more information please visit the short courses page on this website or contact us for more details.
