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 and youths with diverse needs, processing complex traumatic events, and are coping with life transitions. She has worked closely with families who had experienced/witnessed 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, parent-child art therapy sessions and therapeutic workshops to increase awareness, encourage expression, negotiate family roles and improve relationships.
For the past decade, Ivy has also been providing managerial and clinical individual/group supervision to social workers, counsellors, art therapists and art therapy trainees working with vulnerable populations. She is trained in providing arts-based supervision for professionals to develop in their clinical skills, with the aim for better client outcomes.
Ivy is an adjunct lecturer in the MA in Art Therapy Programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore.

PAMELA LIE
PhD in Expressive Therapies
Masters of Arts (Art Therapy)
Registered Art Therapist (AThR) | Registered instructor with the Ministry of Education (MOE)
Certified (ACLP) ADULT EDUCATOR with social institute singapore
Pamela holds a quiet belief that things can come together in meaningful ways. Through her work, she has witnessed how creative expression gives shape to personal stories, and how difficult thoughts and feelings can be held and seen by others. She approaches each image as carrying its own narrative, with the sense that small moments of making can open the possibility for change.
Her work with children and young people navigating emotional and psychological challenges such as depression, eating disorders, anger, self-injurious behaviour, and complex trauma has shaped her awareness of how stigma and prejudice continue to surround mental health.
Guided by a commitment to a sense of freedom and acceptance through creative expression, Pamela supports the development of creative community spaces and works towards greater inclusivity, openness to difference, and more accessible ways for people to connect and communicate.
Holding a doctorate in Expressive Therapies from Lesley University, Pamela’s research interests centre on mental health resilience, mechanisms of change in art therapy, and social-emotional learning through the arts in school contexts. She is committed to advancing the field of art therapy and continues to deepen her knowledge in ways that support thoughtful, grounded practice.
Pamela is an adjunct lecturer in the MA in Art Therapy Programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore.
