I have been with Valerie since my wedding ten years ago, and I really like that she recommends colours that suit me, listens to what I say, and does not rush through the whole process. She explains why she is using certain products for me, so it never feels like something she just replicates for everybody, and she gives her honest opinion while still respecting what I want for myself. More recently she did my makeup and hair for a corporate shoot, and I also appreciated that she prepared a little touch up package for me afterwards because she considered that my shot might only be a few hours later. Her prices feel reasonable, maybe a bit premium, but not unreasonable.

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.

We had a wonderful experience with Paula during a one-to-one makeup class. We were actually her first clients, and she was incredibly patient, calm, and explained everything clearly while taking things step by step. Although the class was planned for one hour, there was no rush at all and she spent much longer with us to make sure we felt comfortable and got the most out of it. What I appreciated most was how personalised everything was-her advice, techniques, and colour matching were adapted to our individual faces, which is something you simply can’t learn from YouTube videos. I picked up some genuinely useful tips, and the final result was above my expectations. Paula clearly puts a lot of care into improving the quality of her service, and she even followed up afterwards to check that we felt confident applying what we had learned. Highly recommended.

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.
