Mahesh Iyer

As an art therapist and researcher, I’m drawn to the spaces where creativity, relationship, and embodied awareness meet. I’ve worked across diverse clinical settings in Singapore—from facilitating art therapy with youth-at-risk and neurodiverse children to designing interdisciplinary programs and community-based arts initiatives. My work centres on how aesthetic and relational processes can support emotional regulation, especially among individuals navigating complex social, sensory, or cultural realities. I also supervise interns and engage in community mental health advocacy.
