Art Therapists are state-registered mental health practitioners, and are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Both 'Art Therapist' and 'Art Psychotherapist' titles describe the same professional practice. It is not possible to practice legally without registration with the HCPC. Click here to check the register.
To be included on the register, Art Therapists must comply with HCPC standards for professional skills and behaviour as well as additional obligations, such as undertaking clinical supervision and continuing professional development (CPD). This guarantees up-to-date skills and knowledge, and ensures Therapists are able to work safely, legally and effectively.
Membership of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) is not compulsory but highly recommended (and required by some employers) given the support and advice it offers to its members.
