# Psychologists & Counsellors in Singapore

Psychologists and counsellors in Singapore are not licensed by a statutory board; psychology is not among the professions regulated by the Allied Health Professions Council. Check credentials yourself, for example in the Singapore Psychological Society's voluntary register. Private sessions cost about $140–280, and free help is available via helplines such as mindline 1771.

## Licences
- **Singapore Register of Psychologists (voluntary)** (Singapore Psychological Society, optional): A professional register, not a legal licence. Psychology is not among the five professions regulated by AHPC, so membership of a professional body is the main credential check. Check: https://psychology.org.sg/members-directory/

## How to choose
- Ask about the person's qualifications and supervised training (for example, a master's or doctorate in clinical or counselling psychology) and whether they are on a professional register.
- Match the professional to the need: counsellors for everyday stress and relationships; clinical psychologists for assessment and therapy of mental health conditions; psychiatrists (doctors) if medication may be needed.
- Ask about the therapy approach and how progress is reviewed.
- If cost is a barrier, try NCSS-supported counselling, Family Service Centres or AWARE's sliding scale before ruling it out.

## Red flags
- Vague or unverifiable qualifications, or titles like 'therapist' with no stated training.
- Promises of a cure within a fixed number of sessions.
- Pressure to prepay many sessions upfront.
