About Thrive Psychology
Thrive Psychology is a paediatric psychology practice located at 519 Balestier Road, Le Shantier, offering services islandwide. KakiList has verified the operating details and contact channels. The practice holds a 4.7-star rating across 25 Google reviews — a moderate sample size, though worth treating with some caution given that no regulatory licences have been confirmed in this listing and ACRA registration could not be verified.
Families typically begin by contacting Thrive Psychology by phone or through the enquiry form to describe the child's presenting concerns — whether developmental, behavioural, emotional, or academic — and to check appointment availability. A first consultation usually covers a detailed history, the child's developmental milestones and school reports, and an initial clinical impression. Depending on the referral question, the psychologist may recommend a formal assessment (cognitive, psychoeducational, or diagnostic) or proceed with therapeutic intervention. For paediatric cases, parents are active participants in the process: expect sessions that involve parental guidance, school liaison where relevant, and a written report if a formal assessment is conducted. Confirmed details on the consulting psychologist's qualifications, SMC registration, and fee structure should be requested directly before booking.
To take the next step, contact Thrive Psychology via phone or the online enquiry form to describe your child's needs, confirm the psychologist's credentials and SMC registration, and request a written fee estimate before the first appointment.

i brought my child to seek treatment with Jesslyn. However, she used this paid session to decide which therapist she would assign my child to if i signed up for a package with them. no useful advice/assessment/ therapy was given/ made. i left after 20mins. was charged close to $200 even though no therapy was given. complete waste of my time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Thrive Psychology charge?›
Private paediatric psychology consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first specialist visit, with follow-up sessions at S$80–180. Formal psychoeducational or diagnostic assessments (for conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, or giftedness) are usually priced as packages of S$1,500–3,500 depending on the battery of tests administered and the depth of the written report. Thrive Psychology displays a mid-range ($$) price indicator, but specific fees have not been published in this listing. Confirm the consultation fee, assessment package pricing, and any add-on charges (report preparation, school letters, follow-up reviews) directly with the practice before booking. GST applies on private medical and psychology services. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →
Is Thrive Psychology MOH-licensed and how do I verify the psychologist?›
No regulatory licences have been confirmed in this listing, which warrants caution. A legitimate psychology practice operating from a clinic premises should hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. If the consulting psychologist holds a medical degree and is a psychiatrist, they should also appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg. If the practitioner is a clinical psychologist rather than a psychiatrist, they are regulated by the Singapore Psychological Society or hold a practising certificate under the SPA register rather than SMC — confirm which applies before booking, as it affects MediSave claimability and prescribing rights. Ask the practice directly for the consulting psychologist's full qualifications, registration number, and years of paediatric clinical experience before the first appointment.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Thrive Psychology?›
Psychology consultations at private practices are generally not MediSave-claimable unless the practitioner is an SMC-registered psychiatrist and the condition falls under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), which covers selected mental health conditions. Outpatient psychoeducational assessments and therapy by clinical psychologists typically fall outside MediSave and MediShield Life coverage, meaning most fees will be out-of-pocket or covered by private insurance riders with a mental health benefit. Check your Integrated Shield Plan (IP) policy for outpatient psychiatric or psychological benefit limits and whether a GP or polyclinic referral letter is required to trigger the claim. For any planned assessment or extended intervention, request a written fee estimate from the practice upfront — this helps you calculate the out-of-pocket portion and submit pre-authorisation to your insurer where applicable. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
