Haven Art Therapy ✓ ACRA Verified

Haven Art Therapy is listed at the mid-range ($$) price tier, but specific per-session fees are not published — contact the practice directly for a current quote. In Singapore, counselling and art therapy sessions typically run S$100–200 per 50-minute individual session at private practices, with higher rates for couples or family sessions. Ask whether single-session bookings are available or whether the practice offers a package rate for a committed course of sessions, which often reduces the per-session cost. Confirm the cancellation and no-show policy — most practices require 24–48 hours' notice to avoid a late-cancellation charge. See the full counselling cost guide for Singapore →

A GP or psychiatrist referral is not required to book a private counselling or art therapy session, though some clients come with a referral letter that provides useful background. Haven Art Therapy will typically ask you to complete an intake form before or at the first session covering your presenting concerns, relevant personal history, and any current medication or psychiatric care. For certain presentations — complex trauma, psychosis, active suicidality, or eating disorders requiring medical monitoring — the practitioner may recommend concurrent support from a psychiatrist or GP. If you are seeking reimbursement through an employee assistance programme or insurance, check with your insurer whether they require a referral or a registered practitioner's certification before your first appointment.

Counsellors and art therapists in Singapore are not yet regulated under a single statutory licensing body equivalent to the Allied Health Professions Council. Voluntary professional bodies include the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC), the Singapore Register of Counsellors, and — for art therapists specifically — credentials from internationally recognised bodies such as the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) or the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT). Haven Art Therapy does not currently list specific regulatory licences on its KakiList profile. Before booking, ask the practitioner directly for their professional qualifications, the body with which they are registered or credentialled, and their supervised clinical hours. This information is standard practice to disclose and helps you assess fit for your particular needs. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
