What Are 5 Types of Therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy evolved from psychoanalytic theory. The primary idea of this intervention is to explore processes that occur outside the threshold of our awareness (ie unconscious processes).
It seeks to understand hidden patterns affecting current behaviour.
Therapists help clients recognise patterns by exploring past experiences. This understanding often leads to profound personal growth.
Sessions involve open conversations between the Therapist and the client. Through these dialogues, clients gain insights into their unconscious thoughts and develop healthier coping mechanisms over time.
Psychodynamic therapy can:
- Improve self-awareness
- Help clients better understand the dynamics of their relationships
- Reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety
- Help manage personality disorders
Behavioural therapy looks to identify and replace negative behaviours with positive ones. ‘Negative’ actions could mean habits that cause harm or discomfort to oneself.
One can modify their reactions by understanding the relationship between environment, behaviour, and consequences.
Behavioural Therapists believe that all and any learned behaviour can be unlearned.
Therapists in Singapore may use scientific tools, such as positive reinforcement, to guide the client. The client can be trained to reduce or overcome negative behaviours through unconditional positive regard.
All the therapeutic tools from behavioural therapy are modified and adapted to the client’s unique needs.
Behavioural therapy can address:
- Social anxiety
- Addictions
- Self-harm
- Panic attacks
- Self-hatred
CT was developed by Aaron Beck. Beck identified that negative thoughts and beliefs often hindered his clients’ progress.
He proposed that our thoughts, emotions, and actions are intricately linked. Identifying and rectifying distorted thinking can alter problematic behaviours and reduce emotional distress.
Therapists and clients often work together to develop skills that identify and counteract unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. This technique leads to a shift in the fixed behaviours linked to them. The emphasis is predominantly on the present. CT adopts a pragmatic, solution-focused approach.
Moreover, CT focuses on skill acquisition. Therapists help clients to learn and apply these techniques autonomously. This results in sustained benefits long after therapy ends.
Humanistic therapy has a foundational belief that every person is capable of inherent goodness and change.
During this intervention, Therapists in Singapore focus on the present moment and the problems one may be experiencing currently.
The theory also suggests that every person already has all the resources they may need to overcome their difficulties. It is only professional guidance that they need to identify and retrieve these tools.
Some of the common concepts of humanistic therapy include:
- Empathy
- Genuine’s
- Unconditional positive regard
Postmodern Therapy is rooted in the idea that reality is not fixed. It is shaped by our personal and shared experiences. This therapy questions the idea of one true reality. Instead, it suggests that our view of the world is tied to our social surroundings and construction.
In therapy, this means each person’s story is unique and valid, and many factors influence it. Postmodern Therapy helps people rewrite their stories.
It challenges society’s narratives and lets people explore and grow. Therapists help their clients create new and positive stories. The key is to see the many truths and our role in shaping our reality.

Online Therapy vs In-Person Therapy
This section will help you weigh your choices and prepare you to practically analyse your requirements.
At TYHO, we provide both therapy modalities.
Our Therapists in Singapore, who provide online therapy, will conduct the sessions via your TYHO dashboard.
Offline therapy sessions are also conducted by Therapists in Singapore. Therapist’s office, TYHO Room, and other local locations in Singapore are available. You can find the location tags of your preferred Therapist on their profiles.
Online Therapy vs In-Person Therapy
When considering therapy, choosing between online and in-person sessions can be confusing. At TYHO, we understand and value both preferences.
Our online therapy is conducted via the TYHO Dashboard, providing a secure and interactive video-conferencing experience with your Therapist.
Our Therapists are available for face-to-face sessions at their office for those who prefer in-person therapy. You can find the location tags of your preferred Therapist on their profiles.
Whether you opt for online or in-person, it is important to know that both modes have their own strengths – this also makes it easy to find the right Therapist.
In this section, we highlight the benefits of online therapy and how to choose a therapy mode.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, online therapy is effective.
A 2022 study proved that online psychotherapeutic approaches were effective in reducing symptoms of depression, OCD, interpersonal sensitivity, and anxiety.
Moreover, research suggests that video conferencing therapy can further increase the benefits of online consultation.
In fact, clinicians strongly recommend using online therapy as a preventive tool and support service.
Therapy can be good for you in several ways.
People usually misinterpret therapy as a serious and sombre activity.
The truth is—therapy can actually be fun and interesting! The more we learn ourselves, the better we can shape our lives.
For more specific reasons, therapy:
- Improves your confidence, self-esteem, image, and self-awareness
- Helps you reclaim control of your emotions and thoughts
- Improves your interpersonal relationships
- Trains you to process your feelings in a healthy way
- Provides non-judgemental and unconditional support and guidance
- Helps you cope with and manage mental health issues like ADHD and anxiety
You may need therapy if you:
- Feel anxious or worried every day
- Wake up feeling a tight knot in your chest
- Isolate yourself from your friends, even if you long for their company
- Consume alcohol or drugs whenever you feel upset and angry
- Experience uncomfortable recollections of negative childhood events
- Struggle to label, understand, or process your emotions
Spend time to choose a Therapist in Singapore. The bond you create with your Therapist may directly result in positive therapy outcomes.
Firstly, review the profiles of the TYHO Therapists to assess who is more likely to understand your cultural and environmental upbringing.
For example, Asian Therapists are sensitive to cultural influences while addressing mental health issues. The therapeutic alliance could be stronger if the Therapist can relate to the client’s background.
This understanding can prevent unintentional microaggression and gaslighting during sessions.
Secondly, give more priority to your personal preferences. Do you prefer a Therapist of a certain age, religion, or background? Are you more comfortable with female professionals? Maybe you are looking for someone who focuses on a specific issue.
Lastly, give yourself and therapy enough time to judge if it’s truly working for you. If not, please feel free to look for a different Therapist in Singapore.
TYHO Therapists in Singapore use different approaches to address different issues.
Some of the most common ones include:
- CBT
- SFBT
- Narrative therapy
- Person-centred therapy
CBT uses cognitive and behavioural therapy elements to provide practical and constructive tools. Issues like anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and OCD can be managed through CBT.
SFBT guides clients to focus on the present and create a realistic plan to achieve future goals. SFBT is used for interpersonal conflicts and work-related stress.
Narrative therapy focuses on changing the stories (ie narratives) people tell themselves. This intervention can reduce or manage symptoms of depression, eating disorders, and generalised anxiety disorder.
Person-centred therapy encourages clients to control the pace and depth of therapy. This intervention can address post-trauma stress, grief, sexual issues, and apathy.
Please note that the clinical interventions used by Therapists in Singapore are quite diverse and personalised for every client.
Moreover, Therapists may use an eclectic approach (ie multiple therapies) to address your unique presenting problems.
Yes, online counselling at TYHO is secure and confidential.
Your private information will not be shared without your explicit consent.
In some cases where the client self-harms or shows signs of suicidal tendencies, the Therapist will inform the client’s emergency contact.
All therapy sessions at TYHO take 60 minutes.
We currently have two categories of TYHO Therapists – Care and Empathy – who charge a slightly different fee. The categorisation considers various factors including:
- Their specialisations (ie whether they have to undertake and continue working towards specialist certifications such as EMDR, Gottman etc which require additional costs and supervision);
- The predominant composition / demographics of their clientele (ie whether they mainly work with working professionals, or full-time caregivers / or youth – the latter requiring more affordable support);
- Their availability on the platform (ie the number of slots they have made available and the percentage of slots booked).
Regardless of category, all TYHO Therapists were selected via the same stringent process, and are able to recognise and help with mental health issues listed on their profiles, including mild to moderate forms of depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or work-related stress.
Ultimately, the fit between client and their Therapist is most important for effective therapeutic outcomes, and selection of the right Therapist is key (regardless of their Therapist category).
