Jolene

Singapore, May 2026

I’ve been with them for 5 years now, and I still enjoy going. I take the 1 on 1 personal training sessions with Brandon, and it's very different from the other gym group classes I go to. He really keeps me motivated and there is definitely progress. I needed someone to look out for me and push me to do more and I notice it’s very beneficial with him. Compared to other places, the price feels really good. Depending on the experience level of the trainer, their starting price is a bit higher or lower, which is also fair.

I engaged with them last month. I had a very fast and good experience with them because the team communicated very clearly. When I told them what I wanted, they gave very good advice, and the quality exceeded my expectation. The colors were very nice and comfy, and they were more affordable than I expected. I searched for other companies and they were the most affordable ones, I highly recommend them.

Carolee

Alaska, Sep 2026

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.

What to know about mental health & therapy in Singapore

This is the one category in Singapore where the title tells you less than you would expect. Psychiatrists are medical doctors registered with the Singapore Medical Council, but counselling and psychotherapy are not regulated professions here, so anyone may use those titles. What exists instead is a voluntary register kept by the Singapore Association for Counselling, whose members have met set training and supervision requirements. Asking whether someone is on it is a fair and normal question. Locallista lists therapists, counsellors and psychologists in Singapore, screened before listing and ranked only on phone-verified reviews, so you can see who actually helped people.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my counsellor registered with anyone?
Possibly, but it is voluntary. Counselling and psychotherapy are not licensed professions in Singapore, so the meaningful check is the Singapore Association for Counselling register, whose members have met training, supervision and ethics requirements. Ask directly, and ask what qualification they hold.
What is the difference between a counsellor, a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a doctor and the only one of the three who can prescribe medication. A psychologist has postgraduate training in psychology and may do assessments and structured therapy. Counsellor is the least defined title here, which is why the register and reviews matter most for that one.
Will my insurance cover therapy?
Sometimes for psychiatric treatment, rarely for counselling, and it varies a lot by plan and by employer. Check your policy wording before the first session rather than after, and ask the practice whether they can issue the kind of receipt your insurer wants.
Do I need a referral?
Not for private counselling or a private psychologist, where you can book directly. A GP referral helps if you want subsidised care in the public system, or if medication might be part of the picture and you would rather start with a doctor.
Is what I say kept confidential?
Yes, with the narrow exceptions any professional will explain at the start, mainly around serious risk of harm. If you are worried about an employer knowing, note that seeing someone privately and paying yourself keeps it separate from a company insurance claim.
