Review of Bricks and Blocks Coaching

Swetha helped me get closer with my son. She gave me a lot of ideas on how to handle young kids, and so far she has been quite patient, helpful, cheerful, and very positive. I have been with her about one and a half years already, and I really feel the positive mindset she gives can help. The price is not really cheap, but it is okay because it can help and the value is worth it.

Review of Vika H. Oliveira, Founder of Vibely

I hired Vika for personal coaching and a bit of career coaching while I was making a career change. We did about eight weeks of one-to-one sessions on Google Meet with exercises to work through, and she helped me make the right decision and transition career-wise. The sessions were very professional and I felt comfortable, even reaching out after our meetings to share small steps and milestones. Price felt moderate and ok to me.

Review of Paula

I found Paula when my family needed support after a divorce, with five adult kids in different states and a blended family situation because I was getting married. She was very easy to contact, very responsive, and I felt comfortable with her right away. We set up five family coaching sessions, and she was so helpful, giving us tools to work within ourselves and helping us understand some family dynamics. It was not easy, but all of us were happy with our sessions with her and the outcome.

How much does coaching cost in Singapore?

Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted coaches actually do. Prices updated August 2026

In person coaching

How much does in person coaching cost in Singapore?

Meeting face to face carries a premium over video, roughly S$490 against S$390 for the same coach, which reflects location and travel rather than a different service. Executive sessions run S$390 to S$650 in person and C-suite work S$1,000 an hour and up. Whether the premium is worth it depends on what you are working on: for anything involving presence, difficult conversations or reading a room, in person is measurably better. For accountability check-ins on a plan you have already agreed, it is money spent on a meeting room.

Online coaching

How much does online coaching cost in Singapore?

Online sessions are around S$390, roughly S$100 below the in-person rate with the same coach. Coaching is one of the few things that genuinely loses very little over video, since it is a conversation rather than anything physical, and it opens up coaches based outside Singapore, which widens the choice considerably at senior levels. The practical gain is scheduling: a 45 minute session between meetings is possible online and not in person. Take the call somewhere private and with the camera on, because a coaching session done from a car park is a phone call.

Executive / business coaching

How much does executive coaching cost in Singapore?

Executive coaching in Singapore is S$390 to S$650 a session, with C-suite engagements at S$1,000 an hour and above. Seniority is what moves it: coaching a manager sits at the bottom of that range, a director or VP in the middle, and a chief executive at the top. Engagements are usually sold as a programme of six to twelve sessions rather than one at a time, so the realistic commitment is several thousand dollars rather than the session price. Ask whether the coach holds an ICF credential and, more usefully, ask for two clients at your level you can speak to.

Mindset / confidence coaching

How much does confidence coaching cost in Singapore?

Priced with life and career coaching, so generally at or below the S$390 to S$490 band, and unregulated in the same way, which is the reason to check references rather than rely on a website. Where this overlaps with therapy is worth naming: persistent low confidence, avoidance and self-criticism are often better addressed by a counsellor at S$80 to S$200 a session or a clinical psychologist at S$150 to S$300, both of which are cheaper and clinically trained. Coaching is the right choice when the goal is performance in a specific setting, such as presenting or negotiating.

Coaching workshops and retreats

How much do coaching workshops and retreats cost in Singapore?

Group workshops cost far less per person than one to one coaching at S$390 to S$650 a session, and are quoted per event or per participant. Corporate workshops are quoted per day and are usually bought by an employer rather than an individual. Retreats are priced per person and include accommodation, so venue and location drive the number more than the facilitation does. For an individual deciding between the two, a workshop is the cheaper way to test whether a coach's approach suits you before committing to a programme of six to twelve sessions.

Career coaching

How much does career coaching cost in Singapore?

The Singapore market average for career coaching is S$390 to S$490 a session, with online at the lower end and in-person at the higher. That is a real amount of money for something with no guaranteed outcome, so be specific about what you want from it. Career coaching works best on a defined problem, a transition, a decision between two paths, or interview and positioning work, and less well as open-ended reflection. Before paying, check what is free: Workforce Singapore runs career services for citizens and permanent residents, and many employers fund coaching that people never ask about.

Health and wellness coaching

How much does health coaching cost in Singapore?

Health and wellness coaching sits around the S$390 to S$490 coaching band, which is well above what the adjacent regulated professions charge, and that comparison is worth making before you book. A personal trainer is S$80 to S$200 a session, a dietitian or physiotherapist is a licensed professional, and for anything medical a doctor is the correct route. Wellness coaching is unregulated in Singapore, so ask what qualification the coach actually holds. It earns its place on habits and accountability, which the clinical professions rarely have time for, rather than on advice about your body.

Life coaching

How much does life coaching cost in Singapore?

Life coaching is priced below executive work but still substantial, generally under the S$390 to S$490 career coaching band, and it varies more than any other coaching category because the field is unregulated. Anyone can call themselves a life coach in Singapore, so credentials and references matter more here than the price does. Be clear about the boundary too: coaching works forward from where you are, while therapy addresses what is behind you. If the issue is anxiety, depression or something unresolved, a counsellor at S$80 to S$200 a session is both cheaper and the right professional.

Personal development coaching

How much does personal development coaching cost in Singapore?

Sessions sit around or below the S$390 to S$490 market band, with executive-level coaches at S$390 to S$650. Most coaches sell a programme rather than single sessions, typically six to twelve, so ask for the total before agreeing to the first one. The question worth asking any coach is what happens between sessions, because the value is in what you actually do differently, not in the hour itself. A coach who sets nothing and reviews nothing is charging professional rates for a conversation you could have with a thoughtful friend.

Relationship coaching

How much does relationship coaching cost in Singapore?

Relationship coaching is priced with general coaching, so around the S$390 to S$490 band. Before booking, compare it against counselling, which is the regulated and usually cheaper alternative: couples counselling is S$180 to S$208 a session at a Singapore centre and S$40 to S$150 on an income-based sliding scale at a social service agency, with trained and accredited practitioners. Coaching suits a couple who are fundamentally fine and want to work on communication or a specific decision. Where there is conflict, an affair or a separation in play, counselling is the right service and it costs less.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people want to know before hiring coaching in Singapore.

How much does a coach cost in Singapore?
Coaches in Singapore typically charge S$390 to S$650 a session for executive or business coaching, and C-suite coaching can be S$1,000 and up per hour. Career coaching is around S$390 to S$490 a session, with online sessions often around S$390 and in-person ones around S$490. Life and confidence coaching usually costs less. These are typical figures from our listed coaches (updated August 2026) and can change, so confirm the price and what a package includes.
How many coaches does Locallista list in Singapore?
Locallista lists coaches in Singapore, covering executive, career, life and relationship coaching, in person and online. Every business is screened before it is listed, and reviews are usually collected by phone from people who have worked with them. Contact details are visible after you sign up; you then speak to the coach directly and can ask about a first call.
What's the difference between a coach, a counsellor and a psychologist?
A coach helps you set goals and move forward: your career, leading a team, confidence or a big life change. A counsellor or psychologist helps with mental health, like anxiety, depression, grief or trauma. Coaching is not a regulated profession in Singapore, while counsellors can register with the Singapore Association for Counselling and psychologists with the Singapore Register of Psychologists. If you're struggling rather than stuck, start there.
What should I check before hiring a coach?
Ask about their training and experience, and whether they're accredited by a body like the ICF, the International Coaching Federation; it's voluntary, but it shows formal training. Look for experience with your kind of goal, like a career move or a first leadership role. Agree how many sessions a package includes, how long it stays valid and the cancellation rule. Many offer a short first call to see if you get on.
What should I avoid when hiring a coach?
Be wary of big promises about income or results in a few weeks, and of pressure to commit to an expensive programme on the first call. Avoid long packages paid in advance before a trial session, and read the refund terms. A coach shouldn't try to treat depression or trauma. If the price is far below the usual S$390 to S$650 a session, ask what is included.
How do I find a coach I can trust in Singapore?
Read recent reviews and look for repeated comments about clear goals, honest feedback, sessions that stay focused and real change afterwards. On Locallista, reviews are usually collected by phone after the job, and listings are ranked by those scores. Read the reviews, then contact them directly after you sign up and ask about a first call.
