Mental Health Counselling in Singapore and online

Looking for mental health counselling in Singapore?

​Life in Singapore can be demanding. High workloads, family responsibilities, and personal challenges often lead to stress, anxiety, or even depression. Left unaddressed, these struggles can affect relationships, career growth, and overall health. Mental health counselling provides a safe, supportive space to talk openly, develop coping strategies, and find sustainable solutions.

​

​At EMDR Singapore, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you navigate challenges such as trauma, stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, and work performance issues. 

​

At EMDR Singapore, we combine EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and other proven methods to offer a holistic approach to mental health.

  • Difficult conversations, conflict avoidance, and fear of confrontation

EMDR Focus:

CBT Integration:

  • Strengthening confidence, assertive communication, and executive presence
