Review of Anusha

Met her through our company-sponsored program. I was looking for someone who could empathize with my situation, and Anusha was able to understand where I was trying to find words for what I was going through. She has great listening ears. We would meet every two weeks and it has been really helpful, especially because we have some similarities. She is professional, and I would highly recommend her and would go back to her sessions again.

Review of Anusha

We found Anusha last year, she is the therapist for my son, who has special needs, and we were looking for someone who understood the Singapore curriculum and school system. She really accommodated us by doing face to face sessions when Zoom was not working for my son, and since then we have been continuing with her. She coordinates with the school, psychiatrist, and doctors, keeps me posted, and changes the program based on his needs and our family requirements. My son is very happy, and we have seen a lot of improvement and a lot of change in him in the past one year.

Review of Anusha

I really, really liked Anusha as my counselor, there was a connection and I felt very comfortable with her. She went beyond just the service, she listened, guided me, and gave me perspectives that gave me a lot to think about, so I grew through the experience and learned a lot from her. I also liked that she shared evidence based information and sent articles to help me understand things better. She changed my entire perspective, and I’m in a much better place now thanks to her.

Couple counseling in person

How much does an in person counselling session cost in Singapore?

A couple session at a counselling centre is S$180 to S$208 before GST, or S$196 to S$227 with it, and private practices charge S$200 to S$350 an hour. Sessions run 60 to 75 minutes for couples, longer than the 50 to 60 minutes typical for individual work, which is part of why they cost more. Non-profit centres charge S$100 for a 65 to 75 minute couple session, already subsidised, with further reduction available on a financial assessment. Ask about packages before your second appointment, since buying four to ten sessions up front saves 8% to 15% and couples work rarely finishes in one.

Online couple counseling

How much does online couples counselling cost in Singapore?

Some agencies price online the same as in person, and others discount it, with one charging a one-time S$10 admin fee for a block of ten video sessions and from S$50 a session thereafter. Private practices generally charge their usual S$200 to S$350 an hour either way. Online genuinely helps couples counselling in one specific way, which is that it removes the scheduling problem of getting two working people into the same room at the same time. It works less well if one of you is joining from an office, so agree in advance that both of you will be somewhere private, at home, with the door shut.

Affair and trust recovery counseling

How much does counselling after an affair cost in Singapore?

Standard couples rates, S$180 to S$208 at a centre and S$200 to S$350 privately, with sliding scale agency rates from S$40 for those who qualify. This is the longest running kind of couples work, so plan for a block rather than a few sessions and use the package pricing, which saves 8% to 15% over four to ten sessions. Ask whether the counsellor has specific experience with infidelity, because it is a distinct process with a recognised shape and someone working it out as they go can make things worse. Expect individual sessions alongside the joint ones. That is normal practice here, not a bad sign.

Communication skills counseling for couples

How much does communication counselling cost for couples in Singapore?

Priced as ordinary couples work, S$180 to S$208 a session at a centre and S$200 to S$350 privately, with agency sliding scale rates from S$40. This is where most couples counselling actually spends its time, whatever the presenting problem was, and it is the part that tends to produce results within a defined number of sessions rather than open ended. That makes it a good candidate for a package of four to six at 8% to 10% off. Ask the counsellor at the outset what they will be teaching and what you should be practising between sessions, because this work is largely homework with a coach.

Couples / relationship counseling

How much does couples counselling cost in Singapore?

Private practice is S$200 to S$350 an hour. Established counselling centres are lower, around S$180 to S$208 a session before GST, with senior counsellors at S$230 to S$260. Buying a package of four to ten sessions typically saves 8% to 15%. The part people do not realise is how far the subsidised route goes: social service agencies charge on a sliding scale by income, from S$40 a session if you earn under S$3,000 a month up to S$150 if you earn above S$5,000, and some charge 2% of monthly salary per session. That is the same profession at a third of the price, and worth asking about before booking privately.

Family counseling

How much does family counselling cost in Singapore?

Family sessions are priced with couples work, S$180 to S$200 an hour at a counselling centre and S$200 to S$350 privately, with non-profit agencies at around S$100 for a 65 to 75 minute session and sliding scale rates from S$40. The fee covers the session rather than the number of people, so bringing three family members costs the same as two. Expect the counsellor to want to see different combinations at different points, sometimes the parents alone, sometimes a child alone. Where children are involved, play therapy is a related service at S$140 to S$200 and is often the right format under about ten years old.

Pre-marriage counseling

How much does pre-marriage counselling cost in Singapore?

Check the free routes before paying anything. Many religious organisations in Singapore run marriage preparation as part of the wedding process at no cost or a nominal fee, and community and family service centres run structured programmes cheaply. Paid privately it is ordinary couples pricing, S$180 to S$208 a session at a centre or S$200 to S$350 an hour privately, and it is usually a short defined block rather than ongoing work. It is worth doing properly rather than treating it as a formality. The topics that predict trouble later are money, in-laws, whether and when to have children, and where you will live, and none of them are romantic.

Separation and divorce mediation

How much does divorce mediation cost in Singapore?

Know the free route first. Where a divorcing couple has a child under 21, the Family Justice Courts require mediation and counselling through their own service, and that is provided at no cost. Private mediation outside that is quoted per case, and counselling alongside a separation is charged at normal rates, S$180 to S$208 at a centre or S$200 to S$350 privately, with sliding scale agency rates from S$40. Mediation and a lawyer are different things: mediation is about reaching an agreement, and a solicitor is still needed to file. Doing the mediation properly is what keeps the legal bill small.

Sexual / intimacy counseling

How much does intimacy counselling cost in Singapore?

Expect the top of the private range, S$250 to S$350 an hour, since this is a specialisation with relatively few practitioners in Singapore and most work in private practice rather than at subsidised agencies. Centres that offer it charge their standard S$180 to S$208, and a senior counsellor S$230 to S$260. Ask directly about training in sex therapy rather than assuming a couples counsellor covers it. It is also worth ruling out medical causes first with a doctor, because a number of the things people bring to a therapist here turn out to be physical, and that is a much shorter and cheaper path.

Conflict resolution counseling for couples

How much does conflict resolution counselling cost in Singapore?

Standard couples rates apply: S$180 to S$208 at a counselling centre, S$200 to S$350 privately, and S$40 to S$150 on an income based sliding scale at a social service agency. This is the most common reason couples come in, and it usually needs a block rather than a single session, so look at the package rates that save 8% to 15% across four to ten sessions. What makes the difference is both partners attending. A counsellor cannot resolve a conflict with only one side in the room, and the version where one person comes to be told they are right does not work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people want to know before hiring couple counseling in Singapore.

How much does couples counselling cost in Singapore?
Couples counselling in private practice in Singapore typically costs S$200 to S$350 an hour, and a senior counsellor S$230 to S$260. A counselling centre charges S$180 to S$208 a session, and social service agencies use a sliding scale from S$40 to S$150, based on income. A package of several sessions often comes with 8% to 15% off. These are typical figures (updated August 2026) and can change, so ask whether GST is included.
Does Locallista list couples counsellors in Singapore?
Yes. Locallista lists couples counsellors and therapists in Singapore. Every business is screened before it is listed, and reviews are usually collected by phone from people who have used them. Contact details are visible after you sign up; you then speak to the counsellor directly and can ask about a first session, online or in person.
Is couples counselling only for couples about to split up?
No. Many couples go to talk to each other better, to stop a recurring argument, before marriage or a baby, after an affair, or when work, a move or caring for parents puts the relationship under strain. Going early usually helps more than waiting for a crisis. If you've already decided to separate, a counsellor can help you do it with less conflict, especially when there are children.
Is couples counselling the same as divorce mediation?
No. Couples counselling works on the relationship itself: how you talk, argue and reconnect. Mediation is for couples who have decided to separate, and helps you agree on practical matters like the children, the home and money, with a neutral mediator. If you're divorcing with children, the Family Justice Courts also run their own mediation and counselling, so ask your lawyer what applies to you.
What should I check before choosing a couples counsellor?
Ask about their training in couples or family therapy, and whether they're a registered counsellor with the Singapore Association for Counselling or on the Singapore Register of Psychologists. Agree the price, session length and cancellation rule, whether GST is included, whether sessions are online or in person, and whether they ever see each partner alone.
What should I avoid when choosing a couples counsellor?
Avoid a counsellor who takes sides or seems to have decided who is to blame, and be careful with large prepaid packages before you've both met them. If there is violence or fear in the relationship, joint sessions are not the right first step: get help on your own first, and call 999 in an emergency. If the price is far below the usual S$200 to S$350 an hour, ask what is included.
How do I find a couples counsellor I can trust in Singapore?
Read recent reviews and look for repeated comments about both partners feeling heard, fairness, a calm and safe space and real change over time. On Locallista, reviews are usually collected by phone after the job, and listings are ranked by those scores. Read the reviews, check their registration, then contact the counsellor you choose after you sign up and ask about a first session.
