Psychologists in Singapore: Introduction
What does a psychologist do?
Psychologists in Singapore help clients gain insight into their thoughts, behaviours and emotions so they can manage life’s challenges more effectively.
At TYHO, psychologists help with situational problems (eg health anxiety, conflicts in your workplace or relationships) or personal issues (like a lack of balance in eating, sleeping, or moving).
Our psychologists use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic therapy to help you:
- Manage your mood
- Replace negative thought patterns
- Improve relationships and communication
- Overcome procrastination
TYHO clinical psychologists (a sub-group of psychologists specialising in psychopathology) can also conduct diagnostic tests (subject to the availability of tests).
How do TYHO psychologists help during sessions?
During sessions, TYHO psychologists work collaboratively with you to address specific issues you’re facing. The sessions are structured to help you reach a place in life where you feel happy, healthy, and satisfied.
Please be assured that your therapy experience is our highest priority. All TYHO private psychologists in Singapore have the required qualifications (minimum Master’s degree), relevant experience, and specialisations in their therapeutic practice. In addition, all psychologists are assessed for soft skills such as being non-judgmental and empathetic.
You can explore psychologist profiles on our platform to easily find qualified and affordable psychologists in Singapore who meet your needs, preferences, and availability.
What should I tell my psychologist?
The first thing to remember is that there are no off-limits topics, except for the specific boundaries you agreed on with your psychologist.
A place to start is discussing your immediate emotions and worries. These feelings could include something that happened in the past hour or earlier in the week.
For example, you may have noticed:
- A pattern of avoiding food when you feel sad
- Poor sleeping patterns
- Racing and uncontrollable thoughts about your future or past (eg if you constantly think, “What is wrong with me?”)
If you are unsure where to begin, the first session is simply an opportunity to start the conversation with a qualified psychologist in Singapore.

How Can Psychologists Help You?
The issues a psychologist is equipped to help with can vary based on their training and individual specialisations.
As such, it is difficult to list all the issues an expert can help with, as different professionals are specialised in different issues. In general, however, some of the issues that TYHO psychologists are trained to help with include the following:
During your first session with your psychologist, you may need help with how to proceed. You may also need clarification on whether your psychologist fits you well or whether they can offer you the support you want.
Given that the therapeutic journey takes several months or even years, depending on the issues troubling you, it is important to address these questions.
Some questions that you may want to ask your psychologist are as follows:
While your psychologist may undoubtedly have their own opinions and beliefs, mental health professionals, including psychologists, avoid providing advice.
A key idea that psychologists believe is that you are the expert on your life experiences. Hence, the goal is to understand what motivates you and how to make better decisions with guidance and professional support.
TYHO psychologists avoid providing a ‘quick’ solution, as it usually decreases a person’s trust in themselves. Direct solutions would also incorrectly imply that the psychologist knows your life better than you do.
To avoid invalidating you, psychologists use various therapeutic techniques to help you gain self-awareness. They also provide tools to cope with life’s challenges, and improve your overall mental and physical well-being.
Doing so would involve you working together with your psychologist. Together, you will explore different perspectives, identify patterns in thoughts and behaviours, learn new skills to be more confident and assertive and connect with your past experiences.
That said, your psychologist might offer guidance or suggestions based on their professional expertise, especially when managing mental health conditions, stress, depression, or life transitions.
But this isn’t ‘advice’ in the conventional sense; it’s more about providing evidence-based strategies for managing psychological challenges.
Remember, each therapeutic relationship is unique, and the exact approach can depend on the psychologist’s style, your specific needs, and the nature of the issue you’re dealing with.
What to Expect in a Psychology Session
In a psychology session, you can expect to:
- Understand your experiences and current challenges
- Identify patterns in your thoughts and behaviours
- Explore coping strategies and tools
- Develop practical techniques to support your wellbeing
Psychologists may help you with the above through several steps, like breaking the ice, rapport building, and more, that we’ll explore in this section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can! TYHO online psychologists who provide online sessions connect with their clients via audio or videoconferencing.
Videoconferencing, in particular, allows online psychologists to perform psychological assessments or tests on their clients, as they can read their clients’ facial expressions and body language in real time despite not interacting with them in person.
You can choose a modality based on your comfort level. After a few sessions, if you wish to change your preferences, that is okay. You can communicate with your psychologist regarding your needs and preferences!
Sessions with a TYHO psychologist in Singapore last 50 to 60 minutes.
Yes. TYHO offers same-day, evening, and weekend sessions.
Simply navigate to the psychologist profiles and find someone who offers slots at your preferred time. Feel free to reach out to [email protected] if you’re struggling to choose an expert last minute.
Choosing the right psychologist depends on factors such as:
- Your specific concerns
- The psychologist’s area of expertise
- Therapy approach
- Language preference
- Availability and location
On TYHO, you can explore detailed psychologist profiles to find someone who matches your needs.
Yes. Sessions with TYHO psychologists are confidential and conducted in accordance with professional ethical guidelines. Your personal information and what you discuss during therapy will remain private.
The cost of seeing a psychologist in Singapore typically ranges from SGD 150 to SGD 350 per session, depending on the psychologist’s experience and the clinic.
TYHO offers access to psychologists with transparent pricing so you can find a therapist that fits your needs and budget.
People practising as psychologists are not currently regulated in Singapore.
Nonetheless, according to the Ministry of Health (Singapore), professional bodies such as the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC) and Singapore Psychological Society (SPS) guide its members’ professional and ethical conduct.
At the moment, registration with these bodies is not mandatory. However, almost all TYHO psychologists and other professionals are either registered with or are awaiting registration with SAC and SPS.
While the best psychologists in Singapore can diagnose psychological conditions and offer sessions, it should be noted that psychologists do not prescribe medication.
Most psychologists do not attend medical school and are not trained to provide prescriptions.
If you require medication, a psychologist may refer you to a psychiatrist.
General psychologists (or counselling psychologists) and clinical psychologists share much in common.
At TYHO, both clinical and counselling psychologists aim to help you work through your emotional difficulties, such as anger management and unhelpful behaviours like excessive shopping or drinking, to cope with emotions.
Both types of psychologists may also use similar therapeutic methodologies and conduct psychotherapy during their sessions.
The main difference between the two types essentially comes down to severity. On one hand, clinical psychologists tend to focus more on managing issues faced by individuals with severe psychological conditions or illnesses.
On the other hand, counselling psychologists work with clients facing various life stressors arising from interpersonal conflicts, academic pressure or expectations, work or financial stress, family or generational trauma, or mild mood disorders.
Of course, often, there is a significant overlap between the issues that clinical psychologists and counselling psychologists help with.
Therefore, choosing a specific type of professional on our platform does not make a significant difference.
Instead, we encourage clients to consider whether their preferred psychologist will be a good fit for them on the basis of the psychologist’s background, specialisation and approach to counselling.
Yes. Psychologists at TYHO are trained mental health professionals with relevant academic qualifications and clinical experience. Many are also members of recognised professional bodies such as the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS) and the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC).
Yes, psychologists can use diagnostic tests to diagnose mental health illnesses and disorders.
