Centre for Psychotherapy ✓ ACRA Verified

Centre for Psychotherapy displays a mid-range price indicator, though specific per-session fees are not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly with the practice. In Singapore, private counselling and psychotherapy sessions typically run S$120–250 per 50-minute session, with an initial assessment sometimes priced differently from follow-up sessions. Some practices offer package rates for a fixed number of sessions at a slight discount. Confirm upfront whether the quoted fee covers the full session or includes a separate assessment charge, and ask about the no-show and late-cancellation policy, which commonly attracts a full or partial session fee.

Centre for Psychotherapy can generally be approached directly without a GP referral for general counselling and psychotherapy. At a first visit, you can expect to complete an intake form covering your presenting concern, mental health history, and goals for therapy. The practitioner will use this alongside the initial conversation to determine the most appropriate therapeutic approach. A GP or psychiatrist referral is not required to book, but may be worth obtaining if you intend to claim under an insurance plan or if your condition involves a clinical diagnosis that benefits from coordinated medical management. Clients presenting with acute psychiatric risk, psychosis, or conditions requiring medication should confirm at enquiry whether the practice can support them directly or will refer to a psychiatrist.

In Singapore, the counselling and psychotherapy profession is currently not statutorily regulated under a single mandatory licensing board in the same way as physiotherapy (AHPC) or traditional Chinese medicine (TCMPB). Voluntary registers include the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC) and the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS); practitioners with these memberships have met training and supervision standards set by the respective body. Centre for Psychotherapy does not list specific regulatory licences in the provider data available on KakiList. Before booking, ask the practice directly for the named practitioner's qualifications, professional registration (SAC, SPS, or equivalent), clinical supervision arrangements, and professional indemnity insurance. Confirm the practitioner's licence or registration number on the relevant body's public register before committing to treatment.
