Why Tobias?
We at Tobias School of Art & Therapy are dedicated to providing high-quality transpersonal arts in therapy education.
We provide a unique training which nurtures a community of skilled and compassionate arts counsellors. Our story is one of passion and dedication to the healing potential of art.
We offer:
Experiential Learning: Learning at Tobias is experiential, emphasising action learning. Students develop therapeutic skills through engagement with art and counselling bringing depth, intimacy and presence to their work. In the spirit of inquiry, our community respects each individual’s beliefs and encourages the development of meaning and self-knowledge. We are committed to nurturing each student and upholding their emotional integrity. This commitment to the soul’s journey is both our creative challenge and our guiding principle.
Head of School: Helen Mandy
Our Mission: Transpersonal work is about seeing behind the mask and attempting to experience greater authenticity and creativity in one’s life by enhancing what they have already done that is healthy and worth acknowledging. It takes our human potential and pushes us to cultivate already developed skills.
Transpersonal work also combines scientific knowledge with traditional healing models and techniques which demonstrate how different cultural beliefs define notions of normality.
Our Vision: Our Vision is a holistic, client-centred approach to transpersonal arts counselling supporting mental, spiritual, and creative well-being. Our programme enables students to explore authentic self-expression and to deepen their human potential by building on existing strengths. We honour diverse cultural perspectives on health, creating an inclusive learning environment.
