Counselling / Psychotherapy is a process where a trained therapist helps you gain insight into mental, emotional, or relational struggles. The process resolves inner conflicts and enhances your relationship with yourself and others.

A counsellor is trained to listen and guide you through a process to help you resolve your emotional and thought challenges.
We create a safe environment that helps you explore your problems and issues without judgement. Counsellors also provide you with tools to help you change your life.

Most individuals seek counselling because they recognise that they need some help in being able to face a certain challenge or they find themselves stuck in a dilemma. You know you need help when you feel unhappy most of the time, you find it challenging getting along with people, and/or you depend on alcohol, drugs, or some other substances to get through the day. 

In your first session, your counsellor would typically ask certain questions about you and your life. This information helps your counsellor make an initial assessment of your situation. During the session, be prepared to Be open, ask questions, and Be honest about your feelings.

We will work together to:
•Ensure you understand why you are feeling this way.
•Equip you with tools that you can use to start feeling better
•reduce the amount of worrying and introspection you are doing
•resolve any practical problems that are causing you stress
•work on any relationship difficulties you may be having
•help you balance your thinking, so you are not plagued by negative thoughts
•as you feel better, gradually introduce elements to your life that will protect you from becoming stressed, Anxious or Depressed again

Not at all! People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to ask for it. Even the best sports car needs a little tuning up every now and then to have the best performance! In therapy, your counsellor will help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of your struggles.

The difference is between someone who jumps on your side or tells you what they think is best, and a professional who has no vested interests and is trained to help you activate your strengths to resolve the challenge you are facing.
When you’ve been confiding in friends or family, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of the negative emotions, or feel ashamed of the difficult time in your life. A counsellor can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you knew skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself.
Counselling is also completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about people you are close to knowing your business.

If you are concerned about your relationship, and both of you are ready for some help, marriage / family counselling can help.
If one of you requires individual support, your counsellor will discuss the best way to move forward that would support a trusting relationship.

No. With the exceptions of life-threatening and emergency circumstances, your counsellor will maintain full confidentiality and abide by the ethical code of the Singapore Association of Counselling. This requires your counsellor to securely keep an archive of records and receive regular supervision.

It’s wonderful that you are dedicated to getting the most out of your counselling. Besides being fully present, from time to time, your counsellor may assign homework to aid in your learning or self-discovery. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success.

This is not possible to say in a general FAQs page. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time it takes to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek help.
In saying that, generally our clients take 4 to 6 sessions to start feeling better.

Medication can be effective in some cases. However, all medication comes with their side-effects and adjustment period. it alone cannot resolve the route of your challenges or teach you to build new perspectives or habits that will see you living to the fullest. Counselling is designed to explore and unpack the problems you are experiencing and expand on your strengths that can help you accomplish your personal goals.
