Art therapy experience advice

[Rmclyburn]

I am a photography graduate wanting to take a Masters in art psychotherapy. I am aware courses require experience working in different client groups.

I was wondering if someone could give some advice on how much experience is generally needed. Any student experiences would be great!! At the moment I run a art based session at a youth group for disadvantaged teenagers one night a week and volunteer at a group doing ceramics with victums of domestic violence.

Any advice you can give would be extremely helpful.

Thank you
