Frequently Asked Questions
We currently have three categories of TYHO Therapists – Care, Empathy, and Expert – 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.
You may wish to commit to purchase sessions with your Therapist and book multiple sessions together once you have determined that they are a good fit.
We provide a 6 percent discount for a top up of your TYHO Wallet of between S$ 360 to S$ 959, and 8 percent for between S$ 960 to S$ 5000.
To purchase a package, you may click on the “Buy a Package” button on the righthand menu of your Dashboard.
For a start, individuals can consider going for therapy once a week. Research suggests that weekly sessions allow regularity which is highly beneficial to clients, particularly at the beginning of the therapeutic journey.
Having regular weekly sessions develops one’s emotional safety (Cameron, 2018) and enables one to build trust and rapport with one’s therapist (Hall, 2020).
This allows one to progress at a steady pace and ensures that during sessions, more time can be dedicated to working through one’s issues, rather than filling the therapist in about the time that has elapsed. Moreover, weekly check-ins reduce the possibility of slipping into bad habits or becoming overwhelmed by unwanted thoughts and feelings.
In addition, research indicates that after attending an average of 8 sessions (Foundation Psychology; Saxon et al., 2016), individuals report the greatest decrease in psychological distress and are most likely to experience positive changes in their lives.
It may also be helpful to note that individuals who decide to withdraw within or just after 3 sessions are less likely to experience positive outcomes as things often start taking a turn for the better after the third session (Crago & Gardner, 2012).
Nonetheless, committing to therapy is an investment of both one’s time and financial resources. You may want to speak with your therapist and come up with a plan or schedule that works best for you.
