Ain Society ✓ ACRA Verified

Ain Society does not publicly list a specific per-session rate, displaying only a moderate ($$) pricing indicator. Singapore counselling and psychotherapy sessions typically range from S$80 to S$200 per 50-minute session depending on the practitioner's qualifications, years of experience, and whether the session is individual, couples, or family-based. Some practices offer reduced rates for subsidised or community-referral clients. Confirm the per-session fee, any first-consultation charge, package pricing if multiple sessions are pre-booked, and the no-show or late-cancellation policy before your first appointment.

Most counselling services in Singapore do not require a GP referral for a standard first appointment — you can contact Ain Society directly via phone or the enquiry form to book. However, if you intend to claim through an insurer or Medisave (where applicable for specific mental health conditions under the Community Mental Health scheme), a referral letter from a GP or polyclinic can facilitate the process. At the first visit, expect to complete an intake form covering your presenting concern, relevant history, and any previous mental health support. Some practitioners conduct a brief assessment session before agreeing on a treatment plan. It is worth flagging any contraindications or crisis-level concerns upfront so the counsellor can confirm they are the right fit or refer you to a more appropriate level of care if needed.

Counselling in Singapore does not yet have a single statutory licensing body, unlike physiotherapy (AHPC) or TCM (TCMPB). Reputable practitioners hold credentials from recognised bodies such as the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC), the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS), or equivalent overseas accreditation. No regulatory licences are listed for Ain Society on the KakiList profile at this time. Before booking, ask directly about the lead counsellor's qualifications, membership of a professional association, years of practice, and areas of specialisation. If the practitioner is a registered psychologist, you can verify their registration on the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP). Confirming credentials is an important step given that counselling is a sensitive and ongoing engagement.
