Echoes of the Heart: Art Psychotherapy for Healing and Legacy

💡 What can you expect from this workshop?

Art psychotherapy offers people living with cancer a gentle way to express what words cannot hold. Through clay, paint, or collage, fears, grief, and hopes are given form—transforming pain into meaning and isolation into connection. Research shows that it can ease anxiety and fatigue, improve quality of life, and nurture hope and self-image. In the spirit of Live Well, Leave Well, art psychotherapy affirms that healing is about dignity, meaning, and creative voice at every stage of life.

This workshop is open to all.

✨ About the facilitator

Kyl is an accredited psychotherapist with APACS (Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors Singapore) and art psychotherapist with ANZACATA (The Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association). She has supported children, adolescents and adults with mental health, learning and behavioural challenges, as well as cancer survivors in which she developed interests in mental healthcare, chronic physical and complex psychiatric illnesses.

She is devoted to supporting and journeying with her clients as they endeavour to nurture more wholesome connections with themselves and those in their lives. At the heart of her work, Kyl utilizes compassionate, psychodynamic and strength-based approaches in assisting individuals in accessing their inherent strengths, strengthening their resilience, and aligning their growth with their core values.

Her guiding principle in care is to empower individuals to rediscover themselves, assisting them to become experts in their own lives. She believes that creativity and self-expression are key to creative living and in managing neurodiversities without being bounded by any prescriptive intellectual shackles. She also believes in the practical benefits of a life spent contributing back to society, fully investing in cultivating compassion and humanity, to nurture and empower individuals to lead better lives holistically.

This activity is organised as part of Singapore Hospice Council's Live Well. Leave Well. Festival 2025. Click here to see more programme highlights.
