Ivy believes in the awe-inspiring and healing powers of art-making. She has witnessed how art can become an alternative medium to create security and safe boundaries for anyone to express their inner self. She has confidence that every person has the capacity to unleash boundless possibilities and potential from within, through explorative self-awareness and art journeys.
She often journeys with children processing complex traumatic events and are coping with life transitions. She has worked closely with families who had experienced abuse, separation and/or adoption to make sense of their world and regulate their emotions.
As a child’s natural environment plays a huge role in enabling and guiding their development, Ivy believes in approaching and working within systems such as families, parent/caregiver-child and sibling dynamics. She has previously facilitated family group and parent-child sessions to enhance bonding, communication and negotiation of family roles.
For the past 10 years, Ivy has also been providing guidance and supervision to social workers, counsellors and art therapist-in-training. She has recently completed a training in Arts-Based Supervision Skills with ANZACATA and is pursuing a Level 6 Diploma in Art Therapy Supervision with BAAT.
Ivy is currently a part-time lecturer in the MA in Art Therapy Programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore.

Pamela identifies herself as an art-maker, psychotherapist and an idealistic believer that all things work together for Good. Through her work, she has seen how creative expression helps to tell our stories and allow difficult thoughts and feelings to be witnessed by others. She believes every image tells a story, and our lives can be changed one image at a time.
Her experiences in working with children and youth facing emotional and psychological challenges, such as depression, eating disorders, anger issues, self-injurious behaviour and complex trauma, has helped her recognise the impact of stigma and prejudice associated with mental health.
Armed with a passion for helping people experience freedom and acceptance through creative expression, Pamela endeavours to support creative community spaces; encourage more inclusivity, embrace diversity, and create accessible opportunities for open communication.
Pamela is pursuing her Doctorate in Expressive Therapies. She is committed to the advancement of art therapy and is on a quest to seek greater depth of knowledge to drive professionalism in the field.
Pamela is currently a part-time lecturer in the MA in Art Therapy Programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore.
