We compared 20 counselling in Singapore on Google Maps · 6 listed · How we rank

Reaching out for counselling in Singapore is often the hardest step, long before the first session even starts. Ratings across this page stay tight, 4.7 to 5.0, but review counts swing from 20 to 1,094, so scale, not stars, is where these practices actually separate. What follows looks at both, plus what each one specializes in.

Short answer: Singapore Counselling Centre has the largest track record here, a 4.9 average across 1,094 reviews. Emotional Wellness Counselling follows at 4.9 across 111 reviews, and The Psychology Clinic and Cornerstone Therapy have smaller but strongly positive review bases. Sofia Wellness Clinic offers counselling led by Sophia, whose clients describe her as empathetic and patient. This page compares public data only; it is not a substitute for professional advice.

Our take: A perfect 5.0 across 38 reviews, a modest base next to the larger clinics here, but it's included because the fit is different: this is a child-therapy specialist, not general adult counselling, and worth knowing if that's what you need.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume is how many clients actually left a rating, weighed against every counselling practice we compared in Singapore. Confidence combines both, since a perfect score on a small number of reviews carries less weight than a strong score built on hundreds. Recency checks whether people are still reviewing the practice now. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does counselling cost in Singapore? (2026)

Session fees vary by practitioner seniority, specialization, and session length, and can differ meaningfully between a general counsellor and a senior consultant or psychologist. This is a sensitive area where getting a specific, current quote directly from the practice matters more than any general figure. We haven’t listed prices here; ask each practice for their current rate and whether a sliding scale or subsidy applies.

Serving all of Singapore

These practices are concentrated around Orchard Road, Thomson, and Sin Ming, with several offering online sessions for clients elsewhere on the island. If you’re looking for counselling near me in Singapore, most of these practices can also see you remotely if travel is a barrier.

What to ask before your first session

  • What is the counsellor’s training and area of specialization?
  • What does a typical first session involve, and how long is it?
  • What is the fee per session, and is there a cancellation policy?
  • Do you offer online sessions if I can’t attend in person?
  • How many sessions are typically recommended before reassessing progress?
  • What happens if I feel the counsellor isn’t the right fit for me?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see a counsellor in Singapore?

No referral is required to book private counselling in Singapore. You can contact a practice directly to arrange a first session.

Is this page a substitute for professional mental health advice?

No. This page compares public reviews and business information only. If you’re in crisis or need urgent support, contact a helpline or emergency services directly rather than relying on this comparison.

The bottom line

Singapore Counselling Centre has the deepest, most established track record if you want a large practice with several counsellors to choose from. If child-specific therapy is what you need, Cornerstone Therapy is a clearer fit. Either way, ask about fees and fit before committing to a course of sessions.
