London Art Therapy Centre is a group practice with an extended professional community of art therapy colleagues, trainers, authors, researchers and supervisors.
The second Wednesday of every month we meet for a two-hour exploratory clinical meeting or guest presentation to make art and discuss various themes that occur in our work. Previous clinical meetings have looked at Poetry and Therapy; Politics and Therapy; Sex therapy; Death and Dying; Equine-assisted therapy; Developing approaches for working on Zoom; the impact of the pandemic and so on.
We have had quite a few requests to join this meeting and have decided to offer 10 guest places each time we run an open meeting. There will be five or six open meetings each year. Places are for qualified art therapists only – whom we hope will contribute and enrich our discussions with additional experience from whatever perspective you come from. Places are booked on a first-come-first-served basis and the Eventbrite booking process will let you know when all 10 places are full.
Timing
Sessions begin promptly at 7pm and the Zoom room is open from 6.50pm to allow for informal connections and introductions. If you have not previously attended we ask you to log on at 6.50pm so you can meet the other practitioners and introduce yourself.
CPD Accreditation
These meetings qualify for 2 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). You are also welcome to write them up for our blog if you are interested.
2023 dates for open meetings:
- Wed 14 June – Winners, Losers and Choosers: words and image
In art therapy we may invite our clients to propose a title for their artworks. This may open up thoughts around ownership, identity, self-care, objectivity and more.
We warmly welcome Dr. Sylvia Lahav, independent museum consultant, lecturer, researcher and writer, Goldsmiths, University of London. Author of the recently published ‘Curating, Interpretation and Museums: When Attitude Becomes Form‘ to share her work and research on the relationship between image, form and text.
