Amanda Chen

Professionally trained art therapist with a Master's in Art Therapy, working across clinical, educational, and community settings in Singapore. My therapeutic approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on using art as a non-verbal, accessible tool for emotional expression, reflection, and psychosocial support. My key areas of practice include working with children, persons with special needs and disabilities, and individuals with dementia. I currently facilitate a weekly dementia-focused art therapy program at SingHealth Community Hospitals, supporting cognitive stimulation, memory recall, and emotional well-being in older adults. Founder of Art for Good, a social enterprise that brings art therapy and community art programs to children and families, with a focus on accessibility and inclusion. Lecturer on art therapy-related topics at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), the School of Positive Psychology, ACC Institute, and Adventis.
