How to choose
- Check the counsellor's training and professional standing, for example registration or membership with the Singapore Association for Counselling or the Singapore Psychological Society, or a relevant Master's or Doctorate, rather than relying on titles alone.
- Match the practice to your main concern, whether that is anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship or marital issues, or a child's or teenager's needs, since therapists differ in what they focus on.
- Decide whether you prefer in-person sessions, online video, or a mix, and confirm the practice offers it; several here provide both, which can help with scheduling and privacy.
- Ask upfront how fees and session length work, whether rates vary by the seniority of the therapist, and whether the practice can issue documentation for any insurance or employee-assistance coverage you have.
- Treat the first session as a mutual fit: notice whether you feel heard, ask how the counsellor plans to work with you, and remember it is normal to try more than one before settling.
- Consider practical factors such as clinic location and MRT access, availability of evening or weekend appointments, and the languages spoken, so that attending regularly is realistic.
