After graduating with a Bachelor of Finance in the UK, Veon found herself in the marketplace, eventually carving a niche implementing Enterprise Risk Management in Multinational Corporations and Temasek-linked companies, supporting the Board on Corporate Governance. More than 15 years on, she called time on her corporate career to pursue her Master of Arts (Art Therapy) at LASALLE College of the Arts, twinning a lifelong love for art making with her growing passion for healing and spiritual care of the soul. Her art therapy research papers on altering life narrative through altered books and restoring attachment through clay were presented at the annual conferences of American Art Therapy Association (AATA) and British Association of Art Therapists respectively while her paper on the legacy gift of reconciliation in palliative care was accepted by the 50th AATA conference. Veon has since worked with clients in community psychiatric rehabilitation, hospice patients facing imminent end-of-life crises alongside their families as well as children/spouses of the incarcerated and other private clients. The overarching theme of reconciliation, be it with self or others or the Creator is central to her practice. She also finds it fulfilling running wellness/self-care programmes for caregivers, children, youth and working adults focusing on mental wellness. She enjoys facilitating onsite and outdoor group art experiential sessions for corporations, NGOs and the Christian community too.

Drawing on her insights as a counsellor and educator, she also guides others (including parents and youth workers) on how to establish meaningful connections with young people. Faith holds a Master of Arts in Counselling degree, is a provisional clinical member of the Singapore Association of Counselling (SAC), and is trained to Level 1 of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) method.

She also holds a postgraduate Diploma in Education from the National Institute of Education (NIE) and a Bachelor’s Degree (Hons) in Arts and Social Sciences from the National University of Singapore (NUS).
