Find Male Couples Counsellors in Singapore, Singapore

For a couple, the counsellors listed in Singapore offer talking sessions of about an hour ³. Counselling usually runs weekly, for a set number of sessions.

Assessment, diagnosis and medicine sit outside counselling; ask who provides them where you are. Open the profiles below to compare experience, language, fee, and whether they work online. Ask how soon each one can see you.

Everyone on this page describes their work as counselling. A counsellor listens and helps you find your own solutions to problems ³.

The training emphasises the conversation itself. Sessions usually stay close to something happening now: a loss, a relationship, work, a decision. That focus is what most often separates counselling from longer psychotherapy.

A counsellor is not a medical doctor and does not prescribe or diagnose. Ask a counsellor what they work with, and for how long.

Shan You Counselling Centre. Phone +65 6741 9293. The centre publishes subsidised fees. A further subsidy, based on your means, is available for up to six sessions. People of any age in the community can ask for counselling. An assessment follows the request.

Usually. Partners are almost always seen together⁴.

Some practitioners will see one partner alone where the other will not attend. A practitioner should still see you if you have no partner or cannot bring them⁵. Ask what a practitioner does when one person is unwilling.

No. Couples counselling is for people in a relationship, married or not, of any gender, living together or not. The same practitioners work with couples deciding whether to separate, and with couples who have already separated and are parenting together. Say which of those describes you at first contact.

No. The work is with what happens between two people rather than with a verdict on either of them. Effective work with couples needs its own theories and methods, drawn from research on relationships. Ask a practitioner how they handle it when you disagree in the room.

Yes, and many practitioners offer it. Couples therapy by video shows few significant differences from face-to-face sessions⁶. Symptom reduction, engagement and the therapeutic alliance are comparable.

Sitting in the same room at home suits some couples and not others. Ask what a practitioner offers.

Fees here are set practice by practice. No national fee schedule covers private mental health care in Singapore, and no professional body publishes one⁷.

Four things move a fee. The practitioner's profession and training, their experience, the length of the session, and whether you are seen in a room or online.

TherapyRoute publishes a cost guide for Singapore. It sets out what the public psychiatric service charges and which schemes sit behind those charges. It carries no figure for couples work, and we will not print a range we have not measured.

Where a practitioner states a fee on their listing, that figure is their own. Ask before the first session. Ask too whether the fee runs per session or per person in the room.

Both partners usually attend together. The practitioner works with what happens between you, not with one person's account of it.

Practice differs on what comes first. Some approaches open with a formal assessment that combines joint and individual meetings. Others use no set assessment stage⁴.

No rule settles whether either partner is seen alone. The practitioner's method does.

Ask before you start whether they see each partner alone, and what they do with what one partner tells them in private. Ask how you will know the work is done.

There is no threshold you have to cross first. Relationship distress is one of the commonest reasons adults seek psychotherapy at all⁸.

Neither of you has to have decided, and you do not have to agree on the problem before you make contact.

Two Singapore programmes carry the word counselling and are required rather than chosen. Parents of a child under twenty-one complete the Mandatory Co-Parenting Programme before filing for divorce⁹. A Muslim marriage requires the Syariah Court's Marriage Counselling Programme before an application is filed¹⁰. Neither is the work this page lists.
