Redwood Psychology ✓ ACRA Verified

Redwood Psychology displays a mid-range price indicator ($$), but exact session fees are not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly before booking. In Singapore, private counselling and psychology sessions typically run S$120–250 per 50-minute hour for a registered psychologist or accredited counsellor, with initial assessments sometimes priced higher. Some practices offer package rates for a block of sessions at a slight discount versus pay-per-session. Confirm whether a cancellation or no-show fee applies — most practices require 24–48 hours' notice. If you plan to claim through an insurer or Employee Assistance Programme, ask whether the practice issues itemised receipts and whether the practitioner holds the credentials your insurer requires.

Most private counselling and psychology practices in Singapore accept self-referrals — you do not need a GP letter to book a first appointment. However, bringing any relevant prior reports (previous psychological assessments, psychiatric notes, or medical records) will help the practitioner understand your history and begin the work more efficiently. At the first session you will typically complete an intake form covering personal history, presenting concerns, and any current medications or diagnoses. If your concerns involve a clinical condition — such as moderate-to-severe depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, or developmental issues — the practitioner may recommend a more structured assessment before therapy begins. A GP referral is worth obtaining if you intend to claim session costs through an integrated shield plan or corporate health insurance, as some insurers require a referral for psychology benefits.

In Singapore, the primary registration body for psychologists is the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS), which awards the Registered Psychologist (RPsy) designation. Counsellors may hold registration with the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC). Neither body is a statutory regulator in the way the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) covers physiotherapists and occupational therapists, but SPS and SAC membership signals that the practitioner has met defined training and ethical standards. No regulatory licences are listed for Redwood Psychology in the current directory data — confirm the practitioner's specific credentials, registration body, and registration number directly before beginning treatment. You can verify SPS Registered Psychologist status on the SPS public directory and SAC membership on the SAC website. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
