Specialised Counselling Services

Anxiety Counselling

Anxiety presents itself in many ways. From butterflies in your stomach, racing thoughts, to difficulties in breathing. These can be due to life transitions, difficult relationships, or being put in pressured situations. It just does not feel good.

Using techniques such as mindfulness can help you approach emotion in a grounded, centered manner, thereby not only reducing symptoms, but also finding greater strength, passion, and joy.

Trauma Counselling

Physical, emotional, and sexual abuse can all cause your life to turn upside down. You might notice yourself feeling edgy all the time, or crying for no reason. Sometimes you might even feel nothing at all. Trauma hurts, and it can feel lonely.

Work together with us to process your past experience, learn about how trauma has affected your life, and how to heal and regain control over your life after trauma.

Grief Counselling

We experience loss in many ways in our lives. We might grief when we lose a loved one, a pet, our jobs, a relationship, or even our job. Grieving for a short period of time is healthy and normal. However, if grief persists and does not go away no matter what you try, that’s when you might need help.

Work with us to help you process the grief and find hope and light in your life again.

Depression Counselling

Depression is one of the most common mental health issues. At least 15 per cent of us are likely to suffer from depression at some point in our lifetimes. That is not even accounting for the countless undiagnosed cases. But there is good news! Depression is highly responsive to treatment. In our years of working with depression counselling in Singapore, we’ve seen truly life-changing results.

Work Stress/Burnout

Feeling overwhelmed, agitated, cynical about work, decreased work performance, lost of interest in your job, or withdrawing from others? You might be experiencing burnout.

Journey with us to understand your stress and yourself better, learn and practice self-care strategies, how to set boundaries , and how to build a more resilient you!

Counselling for Men

Men often face unique challenges that can feel heavy to carry alone, whether it’s work stress and burnout leaving you exhausted and unmotivated, anger and irritability that strain your relationships, family and relationship pressures that feel overwhelming, or struggles with identity and self-esteem that make you question your worth and direction in life. Counselling provides a safe, supportive space to explore these challenges, understand yourself better, and build healthier ways of coping so you can move forward with clarity, balance, and resilience.
