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/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 currently an adjunct lecturer in the MA in Art Therapy Programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore.

PAMELA LIE
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 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.
Currently pursuing her doctorate in Expressive Therapies at Lesley University, her research interests include mental health resilience, mechanisms of change in art therapy, and social-emotional learning through the arts in the school curriculum. Pamela is committed to advancing art therapy and is seeking a greater depth of knowledge to drive professionalism in the field.
Pamela is an adjunct lecturer in the MA in Art Therapy Programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore.
