About

I am a British Artist and Art Psychotherapist based in Singapore and currently working between Europe and Asia. I completed my Masters in Fine Arts from The Slade School of Fine Art in 2014, where I was the recipient of the Euan Uglow Memorial Scholarship. I received the LASALLE Scholarship for MA Studies for my Masters in Art Psychotherapy from LASALLE, validating institutional partner, Goldsmiths, University of London, graduating with Distinction. Additional training includes includes ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) Certification, BAAT CPD, EMDR (Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy and Art Psychotherapy CPD course) and Tavistock Relationships Certificate in Psychosexual studies. I work in a trauma-informed psychodynamic, relational and client-centred approach. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents and children with a range of different profiles. This includes but is not limited to; learning differences and disabilities ranging from Autism to ADHD, physical disabilities, trauma and PTSD, attachment disruptions, anxiety, stress, depression, social and relational issues, emotional and behavioural difficulties. I run individual and family art psychotherapy sessions at my consulting room in central Singapore. I have also facilitated various community and arts based projects in Singapore, and am currently the Art Therapy Advisor for HeartLand Literature, a charitable organisation dedicated to addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences through shared, sensory reading. I hold a professional membership with and am registered as an Art Psychotherapist with the Australian, New Zealand & Asian Creative Arts Therapy Association, the Art Therapist's Association Singapore, the Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors Singapore and am an Affiliate Member of Singapore Psychological Society (SPS Membership number AF022001B) and The British Association of Art Therapists. www.benjaminpts.com | www.art-therapy.sg As a practicing fine artist, my work has been exhibited internationally with exhibitions worldwide. I have collaborated extensively with artists, musicians, clothing and interior designers on various projects around the world. Working between painting, print, video and large scale installations and sculptures, my work sits between experience and imagination, and considers the limits of representation in relation to the wholeness of experience. www.chloemanasseh.com

Experience

  • Art Therapy Advisor at Heartland Literature
    Nov 2024 - Present · 1 yr 8 mos

    Art Therapy Advisor for Heartland Literature, a reading mentorship programme. Heartland Literature is a charitable organisation dedicated to addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences through shared, sensory reading. Heartland Literature’s reading program is a deeply impactful initiative that recognises the power of storytelling, literature, and creative engagement in supporting children who have experienced adversity. This program creates a safe and nurturing space where books become more than just stories—they become tools for healing, connection, and self-discovery. The integration of literature with art and sensory engagement is particularly powerful. By pairing children with dedicated reading mentors, the program also strengthens relational trust, cultivating a sense of stability and belonging whilst experiencing the joy of shared human connection through the arts. The thoughtful, trauma-informed design of Heartland Literature’s program makes it a vital and innovative contribution to the landscape of foster care support and beyond. We are currently running a pilot program supported by Boys’ Town Fostering Services and Temasek Foundation. This initiative pairs reading mentors with children from foster and residential care, providing them with meaningful and supportive learning opportunities.
