Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’re here to help.

Counselling is a short-term professional relationship designed to provide support and help you navigate life's challenges. Regardless of what you’re facing, you can work on self-limiting thoughts and behaviours, resolve hurtful feelings and improve your relationships.

Everyone goes through ups and downs in life, but at times, we may feel overwhelmed and unable to cope. 

You're not alone in your struggle. Our trusted counsellors are ready to journey with you through complex emotional, behavioural or relationship challenges.

All session content and correspondence are kept confidential. Exceptions to confidentiality occur in situations where abuse or harm is suspected, a client presents a danger to self, others or property, or when disclosure is required by law. 

The number of sessions is dependent on your needs and goals that are typically discussed at the start of the counselling journey.

The first appointment is an intake session where the counsellor will seek to understand what led you to counselling, any symptoms, emotions or thoughts you've been experiencing and coping mechanisms.

 

Questions about your history, family background, past relationships and experiences are typically included. The counsellor and you also discuss goals and outcomes you hope to achieve from counselling.

 
This helps the counsellor assess the best approach and techniques to work with you in this journey of growth.

Our counselling sessions are scheduled by appointment basis on weekdays starting from 9am and the last appointment is at 7pm.
 
We are closed on weekends, public holidays and will respond to your submitted enquiries within 2 working days.
 
In the event of a crisis & you are unable to reach us, please contact the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) instead at 1800 221 4444 or in extreme cases of danger, the police. Stay on the phone with them until someone comes to you or head down to the Accident & Emergency (A&E) Department of your nearest hospital.

Still have a question? Let us help.

We are happy to see that you’re actively taking the first step to reach out to talk to a counsellor about what you’re going through.
