O'Joy Care Services ✓ ACRA Verified

Pricing details are not publicly listed for O'Joy Care Services, so you will need to contact them directly for the current session rate. As a general reference, counselling and therapy sessions in Singapore typically run between S$80 and S$200 per hour at private practices, with subsidised rates available at some social-service agencies. Confirm whether O'Joy Care Services is affiliated with any subsidy scheme — for example, CHAS or ComCare — and whether a sliding-scale fee applies based on household income. Ask also about the initial consultation fee, whether a package of sessions carries a different rate, and the cancellation policy. See the full counselling cost guide for Singapore →

Most counselling providers in Singapore accept self-referrals — you can contact O'Joy Care Services directly without a GP letter. That said, a GP or polyclinic referral can be useful if you intend to claim under an insurance policy or if you have a complex clinical presentation that may benefit from coordinated care between a counsellor and a medical professional. At a first appointment, expect to complete an intake form covering your presenting concerns, any relevant medical or mental health history, and your goals for therapy. Flag any contraindications or medication upfront so the practitioner can assess fit. If the counsellor's approach or specialisation does not match your needs, it is entirely reasonable to ask to be redirected to a more suitable practitioner.

Singapore does not yet have statutory licensing for counsellors in the way that physiotherapists are registered under the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) or TCM practitioners under the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB). However, credible counsellors typically hold membership with the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC) or the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS), and psychologists may be registered with the SPS or hold an AHPC registration under the Registered Psychologist framework. No regulatory licences are listed for O'Joy Care Services in the available data. Before your first session, ask the assigned practitioner for their professional qualification, membership body, and registration number, and verify this independently on the relevant association's public directory. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
