Where to go for therapy or counselling in Singapore
Psychology Blossom – when the adventure gets tough
Living as an expat in Singapore can be both exciting and unsettling. The early months may feel like an adventure; then, over time, different challenges can surface. Work pressures can weigh heavily, with the fear of job loss and the possibility of uprooting a family adding to the stress. On top of that, the effort to make new friends and find a sense of belonging can lead to burnout.
“Another significant challenge is leaving your original support network behind and having to build a new one from scratch,” says VALERIE RJINDERS, counsellor at Psychology Blossom. “Your friends, family and colleagues are a vital part of life, offering emotional support, advice and a sense of belonging. In a new country, rebuilding those connections can feel slow and isolating. Without that support, the everyday pressures of expat life can become even harder to manage.”
To guide expats through the transition and beyond, the multicultural team at Psychology Blossom offers counselling services in more than a dozen languages, including English, Mandarin, French, Tamil, Italian, Hindi and Japanese. Located on Cecil Street, the practice provides individual, family, couples and group therapy, as well as psychological assessments. Therapists work with clients across all stages of life, from childhood through to later years, on issues ranging from depression and anxiety to life transitions, relationship challenges and loss.
Support is also available for couples navigating difficulties around communication, intimacy or trust, and for families facing shifts such as a teenager’s struggles with mental health. The practice offers flexible appointment scheduling and a WhatsApp line for inquiries between 8am and 6pm, weekdays and weekends.

White Canvas Therapy – adjusting to expat life
The expat experience can be transformative, opening the door to new cultures, experiences and perspectives. But it also comes with its share of challenges. REBECCA VERSOLATO, a psychoanalyst and couples counsellor at White Canvas Therapy, provides a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals, couples and families to explore concerns, roles and responsibilities, helping them navigate a smoother, more enriching transition.
“For families to thrive and build a fulfilling life in a new environment, professional support can be invaluable,” says Rebecca. “From language and cultural barriers to relationship tensions, frustrations with a new reality, grief over the loss of familiar structures, and the guilt that can come with distance, therapy can help families identify challenges and establish a fresh routine.”
In couples therapy, this may involve improving communication, setting boundaries and clarifying expectations around emotional, social and financial interdependence in an expatriate context. For individuals, a psychoanalytical approach can help clarify past issues and traumas, offering deeper insight into behaviour, feelings, relationships and recurring patterns.
Rebecca also offers counselling services for issues including divorce, infidelity, intimacy and sexuality.

Samant Psychotherapy – mental wellness and self-discovery for adults
How much do our thoughts, feelings and past experiences influence the way we relate to others, manage stress or move through life today? At Samant Psychotherapy, founded by UK-trained and accredited psychodynamic psychotherapist ANITA SAMANT, you’ll find a safe and non-judgmental space to explore these questions, uncover hidden patterns and gain deeper self-understanding and insight.
Anita works with clients on psychological, emotional, and relational issues, using personalised approaches that include short- or long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy. She also offers Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy, a structured, time-limited approach that can help change unhelpful relationship patterns, easing associated low mood and anxiety.
“My hope is that therapy feels like regular self-care, and that people don’t feel they need to wait for a crisis first. Instead, come to feel more connected, more fulfilled, and more at ease with yourself,” says Anita.
Centrally located, her multicultural practice is inclusive, welcoming adults across ages, genders, sexual orientations and neurodiversity levels.

Executive Counselling – counselling services in Singapore for professionals
Executive Counselling is the first counselling practice in Singapore dedicated exclusively to serving the needs of professionals. The practice was founded in 2023 by former CNBC Asia presenter LISA OAKE. As the co-host of the network’s morning show, Squawk Box, Lisa noticed a common thread among top performers: they quietly recognised and accepted that mental health challenges were normal and sought support in those areas.
Lisa went on to complete a master’s degree in counselling. And now she helps professionals realise they do not have to be perfect to be successful. “Issues like anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, imposter syndrome, relationship issues or grief are expected and manageable aspects of the professional journey,” she says.
Using a unique blend of counselling and coaching, Lisa helps clients at all stages of their careers manage both personal and work-related struggles. Services range from individual counselling and career or life coaching to ADHD coaching for adults, 360° leadership assessments, and couples counselling and family therapy.
In-person sessions are conducted at a cosy, private office located near Orchard MRT station. Online sessions are offered to clients from around the world via a secure platform to ensure complete privacy.

Alliance Counselling – turning conflict into connection
Many couples avoid conflict to keep the peace – but unspoken issues don’t disappear. Left unchecked, they often build into resentment and distance. On the surface, everything may seem fine, until one day it isn’t.
“Choosing short-term calm by avoiding tough conversations often comes at the cost of long-term closeness,” says WEISIM HO, counsellor at Alliance Counselling. “Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a different path.”
Rather than getting stuck in anger or frustration, EFT helps partners uncover vulnerable feelings – fears like “Will you be there for me?” or “Do I matter to you?” These fears reflect our deepest human need: closeness.
Through EFT, couples learn to share these tender emotions in ways their partner can hear and respond to. When fears and longings are expressed openly, couples feel understood and connected – even if the problem isn’t yet solved.
“This emotional honesty strengthens bonds and, ironically, turns conflict into an opportunity to grow closer and resolve issues together,” says Weisim.
Since 2009, Alliance Counselling has helped Singapore’s teens, adults, couples and families navigate everything from anxiety and grief to relationship struggles and major life transitions. The 34-strong multilingual team offers individual and couples therapy, sexual health and pre/postnatal support, workshops and assessments for ADHD, ASD and gender identity. They also run free monthly support groups, ensuring help is always within reach.

Counseling Perspective – life beyond the move
Life in Singapore can be rewarding, but for many families it also comes with pressure – work demands, school stress, and relationship changes can take their toll. When these challenges become difficult to manage alone, professional support offers a way to navigate them with clarity.
Counseling Perspective has centres in both Raffles Place and Joo Chiat, making counselling services accessible to families across the city. Its multicultural team speaks a wide range of languages, which helps clients feel understood and supported no matter their background.
The centre works with the whole family. Adults and couples can seek guidance for relationship or workplace stress, while children and teenagers receive help with issues such as anxiety, depression or adjusting to new schools. Importantly, there is no waiting list – something especially critical for young people in need of immediate care.
Services range from individual, couples and family therapy to child and adolescent support, as well as group counselling. Psychological assessments are also available for both children and adults, alongside QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback, which can help with challenges such as ADHD, anxiety and sleep difficulties.
“We go beyond traditional mental health care – we see each person as a whole, offering comprehensive support for mind, body and emotional wellbeing,” says DR GLENN GRAVES, psychologist and professional life coach at Counseling Perspective.
Beyond counselling services, the centre incorporates holistic wellness practices including mindfulness, stress management, lifestyle coaching, sound therapy, Yin Breathwork, Reiki, Ayurveda and BodyTalk. Workshops, retreats and support groups offer further opportunities for growth and connection, giving families and individuals space to work through difficulties and thrive in Singapore.

Mindwise Counselling – support for mental, sexual and relationship wellbeing
In the heart of the CBD, Singapore’s Mindwise Counselling provides support at the intersection of mental, sexual and relationship health. The practice is led by FAITH HOGAN, an experienced mental health counsellor and sex therapist, who works with adults from both local and expatriate communities.
With a focus on inclusivity, sessions here are tailored with cultural sensitivity and an understanding of diverse identities, orientations and relationship styles. The practice is also kink-friendly and offers counselling services for non-traditional relationships, creating a safe space for open conversation.

Evening appointments are available on weekdays, making it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
To help individuals find the right fit, Mindwise also offers a complimentary 15-minute exploratory video call. This allows new clients to ask questions, learn about the therapist’s approach, and explore whether it feels like the right match before beginning therapy.
“By combining evidence-based approaches with a compassionate, inclusive ethos, we support individuals and couples in navigating life’s more personal challenges – with the aim of fostering clarity, connection and emotional safety,” says Faith.

Dr Kamini Clinic – holistic psychological wellness
At Dr Kamini Clinic, psychiatry is about more than just medication. With a focus on healing, wellness and preventive care, DR KAMINI RAJARATNAM works with patients to uncover the root causes of mental health challenges and design personalised treatment plans that support lasting recovery.
With 17 years of experience across Singapore’s major hospitals – including the Institute of Mental Health – her approach blends traditional psychiatry with evidence-based holistic methods. Alongside cautious use of medication when necessary, she incorporates mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioural therapy, relationship counselling services, nutritional psychiatry and lifestyle adjustments.
Drawing on her background in functional medicine, she also explores the connection between the gut, toxins, inflammation and mental health – offering patients a broader path to recovery.
Dr Kamini’s areas of expertise span across life stages and circumstances. She works with children and adults living with ADHD, supports women through perinatal psychiatry, infertility and pregnancy loss, and helps patients facing burnout, insomnia, depression, anxiety or the hormonal shifts of perimenopause. Online consultations and medication delivery also make her services accessible.
For Dr Kamini, patients remain firmly in the driver’s seat of their recovery, with her role being one of guidance, partnership and support. “I’ve always fought to end the stigma around seeking psychiatric help,” she explains. “Too often, people are judged or told to ‘get over it’. Mental illness is real, and it’s not anyone’s fault.”
She says her clinic is a safe haven for anyone seeking help – whether for themselves or a loved one – and her mission is clear: to help patients not just get well, but stay well.

Won Yan Feng Shui Consultancy – integrating ancient Bazi wisdom with modern counselling in Singapore
Bazi, the Chinese Four Pillars of Destiny, is an ancient framework for understanding personality, timing and life cycles through the interplay of the five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal and water. With over 15 years of professional practice and a Master’s in Counselling from Monash University, JASON CHAN, life path decoder and founder, has integrated this knowledge into a contemporary counselling approach.
Unlike conventional talk therapy that relies on a first-person narrative, Bazi provides a third-person perspective: your birth chart serves as an objective map of patterns and cycles. “This integration of ancient metaphysics and modern counselling offers a living roadmap for clarity, confidence and purposeful transformation,” says Jason. “It helps you observe yourself more clearly and initiate meaningful change.”
Recognised by more than 130 five-star client reviews, each session combines reflective dialogue with Bazi analysis. It aims to clarify direction by revealing strengths, hidden challenges and recurring life themes; align with timing by identifying favourable periods for career, relationships and personal growth; and turn insight into action with practical, achievable strategies that flow with natural rhythms.
