Diploma in Art-Based Coaching – online programme

ADCT Awarded Programme

Commencing 21st March 2025

 

I am delighted to be able to offer this online AC ADCT accredited diploma programme. It is the first qualification of its kind, with art and creativity at its heart. It is also delivered in-person in the UK. To find out more please visit the webpage here: Diploma in Art-Based Coaching – in-person.

Over the years I have been researching and working with art in coaching and have always shared this with the wider coaching community and coaches who want to use art in their own practice. This diploma is the culmination of many years of practice and research, underpinning Person-Centred Art-Based Coaching as a modality in its own right.

Through the Diploma I provide you with the research, experiential practice and support to help you shape your own art-based coaching practice.

The programme delivers 80 hours of online class based learning through four programmes consisting of 26 live online half day modules over a 10 month period plus co-coaching, coaching practice and one to one supervision. You will also be part of an online community where you can connect and support each other.

This is further supported through your own self-study, developing a creative reflective practice and maintaining your coaching and learning logs.

Who is the diploma for?

The diploma is for qualified and experienced coaches who want to develop an art based approach as part of their practice and achieve a level of mastery.

What experience do you need?

Many of you who have expressed an interest in the diploma have already attended an ART in Coaching workshop or programme and may already be working with art in your practice. Some of you may not have started working in this way yet. However, there is no requirement to already be practicing art in coaching as the Foundation Programme is designed to cover the essential principles, framework and practice needed to start coaching with art. This programme is also designed to be a purposeful refresher and deepen practice for those who have covered some of this programme before.

What type of coach do you need to be?

Coaching with art is an approach that can be used no matter what kind of coach you are. It is equally relevant for executive coaches as it is for life coaches. This is because coaching with art is person-centred. It works with our clients in a way that gives them access to a deeper level of personal awareness, understanding and meaning. Using art deepens and enriches our coaching conversations  through the expressive visual language of art and creates transformational shifts in perceptions and understanding that can lead to significant changes in personal development and growth.

Coaching with art is about working with the whole person and the area of focus they are bringing to the session. This could be anything from a leader wishing to change their behaviours to maximise their impact, through to someone wanting to unlock what they need to live a happy and fulfilling life.
