FAQ

Counselling

What is the difference between psychiatrist, psychologist and counsellor?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in mental health, and licensed to prescribe medication if required as part of your treatment plan. If you have symptoms affecting your daily functioning (such as prolonged insomnia, persistent low mood, difficulties in memory, focus and information processing, or high levels of anxiety) a combination of medication and therapy would give the best treatment outcomes.

Psychologists and Counsellors have some overlaps in their training since they both help people facing psychological difficulties. They are trained in understanding how emotions and behaviours come about and how to intervene using therapeutic conversations or other techniques. The job title is a reflection of the educational degree they obtained, typically a Master in Psychology or Master in Counselling. If you see a "Dr." in their title, it refers to a doctorate degree, not medical doctor.

Some psychologists provide diagnostic assessments for IQ and/or mental disorders, so if you require a diagnostic report for specific purposes, they would be more suitable than a counsellor.

In any case, you should find out about the area of specialisation for each practitioner you intend to see. As Psychologists and Counsellors are required to undergo continuing education throughout their career, the training they receive and their work experience in various settings would influence their skill sets. Have a look at their profile and feel free to ask for a brief call to clarify if their service is appropriate for your needs.

Isn't stress common?

Common does not mean you have to put up with it. There are ways to care for your mind and reduce the effects of chronic stress on your mind and body.

Wellness is on a continuum and no matter where you are on the scale (eg. extremely stressed, slightly stressed, average, or moderately well),counselling can help you move towards the positive range and maintain that wellness. You wouldn't wait till your physical health is in poor condition, before you start taking care of your body. So don't do that to your mind.

Why should I pay to chat with someone?

What we do in counselling may seem like just chatting with clients, but there is a lot of mental processing going on in our minds the whole session! We create therapeutic conversations guided by professional knowledge gained through years of training and clinical experience. We also use our personal qualities and emotional energy to build a counselling relationship where clients feel safe to explore their vulnerabilities without feeling judged or hurt in any way. These seemingly intangible elements help create healing experiences, so counselling being a paid service is only right.

If you compare with what it costs to visit a General Practitioner (GP) clinic nowadays ($35 and above for a 5-min consult),$200 for a full hour of counselling is considered a reasonable investment. Mental health is as important as physical health, and shouldn't be valued any less.

Discounted rates are available for healthcare workers, educators and social service staff. For other clients, if you have genuine financial constraints, contact me to discuss options.

Alternatively, there are counselling services with lower fees in Singapore— in government-funded hospitals and community agencies. While more economical, these services tend to have long waiting times, may not operate on weekends, and limit the number of sessions for each client to meet a large client pool.

In the end, your mental health comes first, financial stresses included. As long as the service that you seek works for you, we are happy that you have started your mental health journey!

Can I just read up on tips or use well-being apps?

To some extent, yes. We highly recommend self-research and exploration when it comes to your mental health. But, many people often get lost in the plethora of methodologies and options out there, or find it hard to stay on track solely with self-motivation.

Just like in physical exercise, there are added benefits of hiring a personal trainer or joining a fitness class.

Seeking counselling services can increase your commitment to wellness, introduce you to well-researched methods that work, journey alongside you to discover new insights, and empower you with a greater sense of control.

What should I expect in my first session?

The first session is usually for clarifying expectations, setting counselling goals and understanding the background of your situation. It takes time, maybe even more than a session, to build up a good foundation with your counsellor. This is key in creating a safe and trusting environment, and supporting the interventions to come in subsequent sessions.

So don't be disappointed when you don't see a "solution" or any progress immediately. The problem situation you are facing has probably accumulated over time, and a therapeutic process is needed to gain awareness, repair, rebuild, and reinforce capacities for recovery and a sustainable state of wellness.

Will my employer know about what we discuss?

No employer has the right to request for information about your counselling sessions without your written consent. For clients paying through company benefits, your employer would only be informed of your session dates for billing purposes, and no other details shared.

Counsellors must adhere to professional ethics, which require strict upholding of clients' confidentiality. This confidentiality is only broken in situations where the client is assessed to have imminent risk of endangering themselves or other people, and only specific relevant parties will be informed to ensure everyone's safety.
