Root Psychology Group ✓ ACRA Verified

Counselling and psychology session fees in Singapore typically range from S$120 to S$300 per 50-minute session for private practice, depending on the practitioner's qualifications and experience (e.g. registered psychologist vs counsellor). Root Psychology Group does not publicly list a specific per-session rate; contact them directly via WhatsApp or the online form to confirm current pricing. Ask whether an initial intake or assessment session is priced differently from follow-up sessions, and whether package rates are available for a committed course of therapy. Confirm the no-show and late-cancellation policy upfront, as most private practices charge a partial or full fee for missed appointments without sufficient notice.

A GP or specialist referral is not required to book a private counselling session at Root Psychology Group — you can self-refer directly. That said, a GP referral can be useful if you intend to claim against a corporate health insurance policy or if you are seeking a formal psychiatric assessment, which requires a psychiatrist (medical doctor) rather than a psychologist or counsellor. At the first visit, you will typically complete an intake form covering your presenting concerns, relevant personal and medical history, and goals for therapy. Come prepared to discuss what has prompted you to seek support now, any previous therapy or mental health treatment, and any contraindications such as current medication. This information helps the practitioner recommend the most appropriate therapeutic approach and session frequency.

In Singapore, psychologists may be registered with the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS) or, for those in healthcare settings, with the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) under the Psychologists register. Counsellors may be accredited with the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC). These registers are publicly searchable and allow you to verify credentials before booking. Root Psychology Group does not currently list specific regulatory licences in this directory. Before your first session, ask for the full name and registration number of the practitioner you will be seeing, and verify this on the relevant public register — SPS, AHPC, or SAC. Confirm the practitioner's therapeutic modality (e.g. CBT, psychodynamic, ACT) and whether their experience aligns with your presenting concern, such as anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, or workplace stress.
