Counselling Singapore: Book the Right Counsellor for You

At Talk Your Heart Out (TYHO), counselling in Singapore is available in-person and online. You can book an in-person or online counselling session on our website in under a minute for as early as the same day; we don’t require any referral, nor is there a waitlist. Each session is one hour long.

You can switch between online and in-person at any time. Online and in-person appointment slots are available every day of the week 7 am – 11 pm so that you can attend sessions after work or other commitments. Sessions are available in English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, Hindi, Cantonese, and more.

At TYHO, sessions are available in two modes: 

• Online counselling via secure video or audio call from any location. Fees are from S$ 130.80 per session (w/GST). Online counselling sessions offer convenience, flexibility and affordability.

  Many of our clients report that online counselling at TYHO provides them with a greater sense of ‘ownership’ in the counselling process. For example, you may find you have more autonomy in setting the volume, tone, and degree of self-disclosure.    

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

• In-person counselling at 3 offices across Singapore at Tanjong Pagar and City Hall. From S$ 174.40 per session (w/GST). Many clients feel safer at a neutral location like our offices which are conveniently located and are designed for comfort and emotional safety.

Yes. TYHO welcomes expats, foreigners, and international clients for counselling in Singapore.

Many of our counsellors in Singapore have experience supporting clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and indeed many of them have lived, studied or trained overseas, which allows them to better understand cross-cultural experiences. TYHO also works with counsellors who are based in other countries such as Australia, USA and Canada. 

Sessions are available in multiple languages including English, Mandarin, Hindi, Thai, French, Russian, among others.

TYHO also supports clients outside Singapore through online counselling sessions.

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.  

Finding the right counsellor can feel a little daunting, especially when you’re already dealing with something difficult. You don’t need to get it perfect on the first try.

Start by browsing TYHO’s counsellor profiles. You can read about their backgrounds, the issues they specialise in, and watch their introductory videos. Trust your instincts about who feels like a good fit.

The most important thing is feeling comfortable enough to open up. That connection doesn’t always happen in the first session, and that’s completely normal. Some clients see one or two counsellors before settling on someone they click with — and that’s a perfectly reasonable way to find the right person.

If it doesn’t feel right after a session or two, you can always try someone else. There’s no pressure to commit.

Each counselling session on TYHO is one hour long.

The total number of sessions depends on your goals and circumstances.  Most clients begin with weekly sessions and start to see meaningful progress within 4–6 sessions.

TYHO offers session packages with 6–8% discounts for clients who wish to commit to multiple sessions upfront.  Sessions are available Monday to Sunday, 7am–11pm SGT.

Research consistently shows that counselling is effective for a wide range of mental health concerns. Studies indicate that most clients experience meaningful improvement after an average of 8 sessions (Foundation Psychology; Saxon et al., 2016). Progress often accelerates after the third session (Crago & Gardner, 2012).

Effectiveness depends on the client’s motivation, consistency of attendance, and quality of the counsellor-client relationship.

At TYHO, 98% of clients say they would recommend our counselling services — a direct reflection of the quality our counsellors bring to every session.

Counselling typically focuses on specific, present-day issues, such as stress, burnout, relationship issues and anxiety. Therapy can help with deep-rooted difficulties like unresolved childhood trauma, attachment issues, and unhealthy relationships.  

In general, there is a significant overlap between counselling and therapy, with many of the modalities used being common across the two. At TYHO, we suggest that you select a mental health professional whose experience and approach aligns with your needs, regardless of their title. This ensures that you receive the best outcomes for counselling sessions.
