PROFESSIONAL & PRIVATE COUNSELLING SERVICES FOR YOUTHS AND ADULTS IN SINGAPORE

Not sure if therapy will work for you?

It’s completely normal to feel hesitant about starting. Many of our clients wondered if opening up would be too difficult, questioned whether therapy could truly help, or even feel guilty about prioritising themselves.

Some had tried therapy before and walked away feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood.

At our practice, therapy is a collaborative process—built on safety, trust, and reflection—so you feel supported to explore what’s beneath the surface.

Even the most capable individuals carry unresolved experiences, and when life demands more, these can resurface.

Our therapists provide a non-judgmental presence to help you gain perspective, work through the past, and move toward lasting growth.

How can Counselling Help

Many of our clients share that over time, they begin to:

  • Feel calmer and more in control instead of constantly overwhelmed or on edge.

  • Trust themselves more, rather than doubting every decision or seeking external approval.

  • Develop healthier boundaries and stop overextending themselves just to keep the peace.

  • Show up more authentically in relationships, without fear of being “too much” or “not enough.”

  • Feel less shame and more self-compassion, especially when they make mistakes or struggle.

  • Reconnect with parts of themselves they had to hide just to survive.

  • Wake up with a little more hope and clarity, instead of dread or emotional exhaustion.

Professional Private Counselling Services FAQ

Counselling is a very broad term used in conjunction with many types of advice giving. In the context of psychotherapy however, counsellors rarely offer advice, it is the active process of assisting and guiding clients, by a trained professional to understand and resolve personal, social, or psychological problems and difficulties.

Psychotherapy, also called “talk therapy”  aims at gaining insight into mental or emotional health, the resolution of inner conflicts, and to enhance your relationship with yourself and others

 

The initial session is when your counsellor has the opportunity to find out what brings you to therapy and gather as much useful information as possible.

The counsellor then discusses with the client the various approaches which may be appropriate.

This is also a good opportunity to raise any questions and concerns about the counsellor or process of therapy itself.

It is also nornal to feel anxious or somewhat apprehensive about speaking to a stranger for the first time.

If at any moment, the discomfort you feel is too much for you, do let your counsellor know.

Each individual session takes 60 minutes. When it is necessary, and when possible, extension beyond the 60 minutes session can be discussed with your therapist

 

Depending on the issue, short-term interventions can help a great deal in a very few sessions in the event of an immediate crisis.

Longer term therapy on an open-ended basis may be need for more deeply entrenched issues.

It is worth noting that it may take a few sessions to build up the rapport and trust necessary for therapy to work.

Effective therapy alleviates symptoms of emotional/psychological disturbances, reduces confusion and empowers a person to make their own effective choices and the decision to act upon them.

People enter counselling for various reasons, to regain psychological wellness, to address unresolved feelings, for personal development, to improve relationships, or to make sense of any emotions they may be experiencing.

The therapeutic relationship between a psychotherapist/counsellor and a client is strictly professional.

The therapeutic relationship differs from all other relationships you have.

You can tell your therapist things without having to worry about your information being told to others or in any way affecting your job, family or relationships. You can be honest with your therapist without having to worry about offending friends or family.

When a therapist asks how you are doing, he or she really wants to know.

It is very important to work with a counsellor/therapist that you are comfortable with and feel you can trust in order to form a good therapeutic relationship.

The level of trust and empathy between you and your counsellor is crucial to the success of therapy.

We adhere fully to the requirements of the Data Protection Act and the ethical framework set out by the SAC (Singapore Association of Counsellors) and APAC (Association for Psychotherapist and Counsellors).

All information disclose during therapy is private and confidential except in extenuating circumstances where there is risk of serious harm to you or others.
