Art spychotherapy MA at Goldsmiths

My dream university for art therapy is Goldsmiths and I would really love any advice at all!

I’m still working on documenting my work experience as a teaching assistant, dementia group support volunteer and additional needs support volunteer (which I’ve been doing since the start of 2025). I’ve volunteered since the age of 12 with foodbanks and soup kitchens and have a huge background of a personal experience with mental health and additional needs. I graduated from fine art with a 2:1 in 2023.

I’m just hoping to be as educated as I can be in order to do this Masters as it’s been my dream for years.
I am worried about what the university may make of my mental health history and my school attendance due to my mental health at the time.
I hope someone is able to give me advice on the studying experience at the university, as well as, explain how to wrap my head around the application process.

Any advice will be helpful!
Thank you!
