Growing up is never an easy journey. Kids and teens have to continually navigate difficulties such as peer pressure, parental expectations, and academic stress. Our child psychologists and counsellors can help young people to manage their emotions, overcome behavioural difficulties, and improve their self-esteem.
Child counseling is a specialised type of therapy that focuses on helping children and adolescents who are struggling with emotional, social, developmental, or behavioural difficulties at school or at home.
Child counselling sessions allow kids and teens to work through challenging emotions and traumatic experiences in a safe environment, promoting positive change, healthy child development, and personal growth.
A child psychologist or therapist can also treat young people with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and eating disorders.
At Counseling Perspective, we have a
No Wait Policy for children. Any youth aged 18 and under is guaranteed an appointment within 24 hours of contacting us.
To make an appointment,

Both child psychologists and child counsellors work to help youth overcome emotional and medical conditions that can impact their social functioning, academic performance, and mental health and happiness.
However, although the terms psychologist and counsellor are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences between these two types of mental health professional.
Here's how the two are defined in Singapore:
A child psychologist is a psychologist who specialises in working with children and adolescents. Child psychologists have at least a master's degree in psychology, and usually also a doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) that takes many years of study and hours of practice to acquire.
A
child counsellor or
child therapist is a professional who works with youth, either in a school or private setting. They are trained in child psychology principles and have at least a postgraduate diploma in a counselling-related field, as well as a minimum of 600 hours of face-to-face counselling and 60 hours of clinical supervision.
In addition to providing psychological services and professional advice, a child psychologist is able to diagnose and treat developmental conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
If your child has a serious condition that is putting them or others at risk, the services of a child psychologist may be more appropriate. This is because psychologists have more rigorous training in child psychology.
However, most of the time, it will not make a practical difference whether your child is helped by a psychologist or by a counsellor. Both types of mental health professionals do very similar work with children. The most important thing is that your child "clicks" with their therapist and feels comfortable with them.
Our team of child psychologists and therapists offer a range of professional counselling services that provide for the evolving needs of children, parents, families, and schools.

Family counselling can be a resource for helping families face and solve problems together. It often takes the form of group therapy sessions with the whole family. Family counselling can also involve sessions between a parent and child, or relationship counselling between parents.
Our child therapists can help parents who are struggling to connect with their children, and/or would like to know how they can better support their child's needs. Parenting skills training can be especially useful for the parents of children who have developmental challenges.
Our team can work directly with other professionals at local and international schools to support the needs of at-risk students. If you have a student who is experiencing learning, emotional or behavioural difficulties, please contact us to discuss how we can help.
