What is an Art Therapist invoice?

An art therapist invoice covers individual and group art therapy sessions, which use creative art-making as a therapeutic tool to help clients explore emotions, process trauma, and improve psychological wellbeing. Art therapists in the UK are regulated by the HCPC and must hold the Arts Therapist designation. HCPC registration number must appear on all clinical invoices. Art therapists work in clinical settings, schools, charitable organisations, and private practice. Material costs (paper, paint, clay, etc.) are part of the service for session work but may be invoiced separately for intensive programmes. Group therapy sessions are typically priced per session per participant or as a fixed group rate.
