In Art in Action, our regular series, we shine a light on the incredible credentialed art therapists we collaborate with at The Red Pencil (Singapore)!
Jolene Chiang is a Registered Art Psychotherapist and certified Thanatologist (grief specialist) who works closely with people navigating grief, loss, life transitions, and complex trauma β the kinds of experiences that quietly reshape who we are, how we relate to others, and how we see the world.
Her approach blends brain science, art psychotherapy, and memory-based techniques, especially for the moments where words just aren't enough. She previously worked full-time at Singapore's first national grief therapy centre, and today splits her time between a psychiatric hospital and her independent practice, where she also trains and supervises social service professionals in arts-based methods. π¨
"When someone allows their pain to be seen, witnessed and transformed β they can feel empowered to respond in adaptive ways, instead of letting the past dictate their present situations β this has been inspiring."
