Singaporean counsellors at TYHO all have a minimum of a master’s degree in counselling or psychology.    

We work with offline and online counsellors who have excellent communication skills and align with TYHO values.    

Our values include: 

• Being non-judgemental and empathetic during sessions  
• Showing sensitivity to diverse backgrounds (eg sexual orientations, cultural identities) 
• Having excellent communication skills 

On the one hand, online counselling sessions at TYHO are accessible remotely from any location or time zone.     

If you have limited mobility, time restrictions, or feel hesitant to talk face-to-face, we recommend meeting our online counsellors.

Counselling sessions are available during and even after work hours. Our platform’s flexibility can be helpful for those struggling to manage their work and personal lives.   

Couples can attend online counselling in Singapore from the same or different locations. Similarly, a working parent can attend a session from their office, while the other family members can join from home on a separate device.    

Furthermore, online counselling may provide the client with a sense of ‘ownership’. You may find more autonomy in setting the volume, tone, and boundary of self-disclosure without other positive or negative leads.    

On the other hand, we provide in-person counselling in multiple locations in Singapore.    

Offline sessions take place in a counsellor’s office or at the TYHO room in Chinatown to provide you with a space away from your daily life.     

A neutral location can increase your comfort when sharing sensitive information and may prevent influencing your emotional state.     

Decades of research have proven the effectiveness of offline counselling. You may also have more options for modalities, as some interventions may rely on movement.

Yes. We provide private counselling. Information you share during sessions falls under ‘privileged communication’, or confidentiality. Your details will not be shared without your explicit consent.   

In some cases where the counsellor observes the client is likely to harm themselves or others, they may reach out to an emergency contact person.  

At TYHO, we offer Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for companies of all sizes (eg big organisations or start-ups).  

You can receive our affordable counselling in Singapore at a subsidised rate.

If you are a student and in need of financial support, talk to your teachers or staff in school.  

Most schools in Singapore have at least one school counsellor. You may also have the facility to seek free mental health care.

Counseling is talk therapy. You can overcome specific issues such as financial stress, work anxiety, and low self-esteem through counselling.  

Therapy can help with deep-rooted difficulties like unresolve childhood trauma, attachment issues, and unhealthy relationships.  

At TYHO, we collectively refer to our professional counsellors and psychologists as ‘Therapists’. We also use counselling and therapy interchangeably.  

Hence, the difference does not have a huge significance on our platform.  

We only suggest that you select a counsellor in Singapore whose services and counselling style align with your needs. This ensures that you receive the best counselling sessions.

To choose a counsellor in Singapore, review their profiles.  

Before you start the research process, remember to find someone you think will understand your personal issues.  

You may have to attend 1 or 2 sessions to judge your comfort level.  

Try to assess how easy you find it to converse with your counsellor, because the benefits you gain from counselling boils down to the relationship you can build with the professional.

The question does not have a direct answer. The effectiveness of counselling differs for clients due to several factors like: 

• Motivations for seeking support 
• Goals of counselling 
• Levels of commitment 
• Client-therapist fit 

According to research, after attending an average of 8 sessions (Foundation Psychology; Saxon et al., 2016), individuals report the most significant decrease in psychological distress and are most likely to experience positive life changes.  

In addition, those who decide to withdraw within or just after three sessions are less likely to experience positive outcomes. This is because progress often starts taking a turn for the better after the third session (Crago & Gardner, 2012). 

Counselling is delivered through several mediums. The counsellor may see you:

• In person at their office/counselling centre  
• Your place (during a house visit) 
• Speak with you online (via audio/video conferencing) 
• Over the phone 
• In our in-person counselling rooms

At TYHO, besides English and Mandarin, you may also talk with your offline or online counsellor in your preferred language (eg Malay, Tamil, Hindi) or even dialect (eg Cantonese, Hokkien). 

You and your counsellor would typically discuss your struggles and feelings during your session. The expert may then use: 

• Relevant therapeutic approaches/techniques 
• Take you through specific exercises/activities 
• Perform assessments to help you better manage your challenges 

In addition, different services (eg individual, couples, or family therapy) may call for different mediums.  

For instance, a family may find attending their family counselling session in person easier than online. What matters is that you (and the other person(s) involved) select an option you find comfortable. 

Each counselling session on TYHO typically lasts one hour. How many total counselling sessions are required varies greatly based on your (or couple’s or family’s) needs.  

Clients usually start out with weekly sessions at the beginning of their offline or online counselling journey with us. Having regular sessions helps to keep their progress going.
