Our Counseling Services

Individual Counseling

Your mental health and well being is as important as your physical health. Our caring counsellors give you the one-on-one support you need to centre yourself and thrive.

Growing up is tough, presenting difficulties from bullies to anxiety. We help children and teens to manage their emotions, overcome learning challenges, and improve self esteem.

Child Counseling

Marriage Counseling

Healthy communication is at the centre of a loving relationship. We guide couples to develop responsibility, communication skills and deepen their mutual understanding.

Family Counseling

Family challenges and conflicts have a dynamic all their own. We help families to talk through their grievances and feelings, and come to constructive understandings.

We support expats in adapting to life in Singapore, intercultural couples in building healthy relationships, and third culture children in growing up abroad.

Expat Counseling

Grief Counseling

Though life after loss can seem grey and hopeless, things do get better with time. We can support you during the difficult process of dealing with grief and bereavement.

Discrimination faced by LGBT can increase risk for certain mental health conditions. As an LGBT-affirming centre, we provide caring and empathetic support.

LGBTQI+ Counseling

Career Counseling

Gain the confidence and skills you need to advance your career. We can help you to overcome work related difficulties and develop your leadership potential.

Online Counseling

Can't visit us in person? We offer confidential online counselling sessions conducted via Zoom, Google Meet, or Skype. Get in touch to book an appointment.

Mental Health Issues

We take an integrated approach to help our clients manage and heal from many different mental health issues. Our experienced professional counsellors are trained in a variety of proven and complementary techniques for treating mental illness. Some of the more common mental health conditions we treat are listed below. If you have or think you may have one of these conditions, please don't hesitate to get in touch for a confidential discussion.

Mood Disorders

Someone with a mood disorder regularly experiences feelings of sadness, hopelessness, lethargy, guilt, shame, and/or the urge to self harm. In cases of bipolar disorders, they also experience extreme mood swings, alternating between depressive "lows" and manic "highs".

The most commonly diagnosed mood disorders are:

• Depression
• Dysthymia
• Bipolar Disorder
  

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are characterised by persistent feelings of fear, worry, tension, and unease that interfere with normal life and social functioning.

Common anxiety disorders include:

• Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Panic Attacks
• Phobias
  

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are serious illnesses with dire psychological, social, and physical health consequences. Symptoms may include engaging in severe caloric restriction, binging, and/or purging. Body image distortion is another frequent symptom.

Among the most well-known eating disorders are:

• Anorexia nervosa
• Bulimia nervosa
• Binge Eating Disorder

Compulsion

An compulsion is a health condition in which someone is dependent on a substance or behaviour. Substance compulsion and behavioural compulsion can often centre around:

• Alcohol
• Sex
• Gambling
  

Anger Issues

Although anger is a normal, healthy emotion, it is not always easy or straightforward to manage. Common anger issues include becoming angry very easily, overreacting, and feeling out of control when angry. Some people may also find it difficult to express their anger, feel the need to hide it, or experience anger as the result of unresolved hurt.

Stress

Everyone experiences moments of stress, but stress that goes on for weeks or months isn't normal. Chronic stress puts you at heightened risk for health problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Symptoms include fatigue, headaches, difficulty concentrating, digestion problems, muscle aches, and loss of sexual drive and/or function.

What to Expect at Counseling Sessions?

A first session can be daunting, especially if you are new to counseling in Singapore. Your therapist will endeavour to make you feel comfortable and at ease. They will ask questions to understand your symptoms and what has brought you to counselling, and identify how best to help you. You are welcome to ask any questions you have during this session and any follow up session.

Our counsellors are experienced with multiple therapies and techniques. Different clients will benefit from different psychological services. Your therapist will develop a course of treatment for you based on the tools most suited to your needs. Some of the types of therapy we provide are listed below.

• Psychotherapy
