Many people enjoy painting, drawing and designing and may also have a corresponding profession. Those who don't just want to be creative for themselves or want to pass on their techniques to others may come up with the idea of taking up further therapeutic training. Others already have a therapeutic or nursing background and would like to develop their creativity further and incorporate it into their work. To work professionally as a painting and design therapist, you also need basic medical and psychological knowledge, the ability to take a step back and the patience to allow the client's development and healing processes to develop at their own pace.
