Checking a counsellor’s credentials
Counsellor registration in Singapore is voluntary, not legally mandated — but the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC) Register lists counsellors who’ve voluntarily met its training and supervised-practice standards, and is a useful way to check a specific counsellor’s credentials before committing. If cost is a barrier, some services (including several listed here) offer employer-funded EAP access — check if your workplace already provides this before paying out of pocket.
FAQs about counselling in Singapore
Nestled on Orchard Road, this centre turns a routine trip into a purposeful act of self-care. The integration of EMDR, Schema Therapy, and mindfulness means your sessions are never one-size-fits-all; bilingual options in English and Mandarin ensure that your innermost thoughts are expressed with complete ease and authenticity.
What should I do if I’m in a mental health crisis right now?
Call Samaritans of Singapore at 1767 or National Mindline at 1771, both 24-hour services. For immediate danger to yourself or someone else, call 995 or 999.
Do counsellors in Singapore need to be licensed?
Registration with the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC) is voluntary, not a legal requirement. You can check whether a specific counsellor is on the SAC Register as one way to verify their training and supervised-practice credentials.
What’s the difference between online and in-person counselling?
Online counselling offers more scheduling flexibility and access regardless of location; in-person sessions may suit those who prefer face-to-face interaction or need in-room techniques. Many services now offer both, so the choice often comes down to personal preference.
