Novena Psychiatry Clinic ✓ ACRA Verified

Novena Psychiatry Clinic is listed at a mid-range price tier, but specific per-session fees were not published at the time of this listing. For psychiatric clinics at private medical centres in Singapore, initial consultations typically run S$200–400, with follow-up sessions at S$150–300 and counselling sessions at S$100–250, depending on the professional conducting the session and its duration. Ask the clinic whether fees include a medication review or are charged separately, and confirm the cancellation or no-show policy upfront. Medisave can be used for psychiatric outpatient consultations at approved clinics under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) — confirm whether Novena Psychiatry Clinic is a CDMP-registered provider, as this affects how much you can claim.

You do not typically need a GP referral to book a private psychiatry or counselling appointment in Singapore, though a referral letter from a GP or specialist can be helpful — it provides background clinical history and may be required if you intend to make an insurance claim or seek subsidised rates at a restructured hospital later. At the first visit, expect to complete an intake form covering your mental health history, current medications, sleep, mood, and the reason for attending. The clinician will use this to structure the initial assessment. If you are seeking help for a specific condition such as ADHD, depression, or an anxiety disorder, bring any previous diagnoses, reports, or medication records. Contraindications or physical health concerns are also relevant and should be disclosed at the outset.

Psychiatrists practising in Singapore must be registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC), which maintains a public register verifiable at the Ministry of Health's online portal. Psychologists providing counselling may be registered with the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS) or, for those with clinical training, with the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP). Allied health counsellors may hold accreditation from the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC). No specific licence details were provided in this listing. Before your first appointment, ask for the consulting professional's name and registration number, then verify on the SMC or relevant board's public register. This is standard practice for any private mental health consultation and takes under two minutes online. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
