What does a psychologist do?

A psychologist is a trained mental health professional who uses psychological evaluations and therapy to help people work through their mental health issues. A psychologist also conducts psychological assessments and testing to assess and diagnose any mental health problems that you may have.

If you are experiencing any short- or long-term mental health conditions, life and relationship problems or personal issues, you can seek help from a psychologist.

There are many different forms of therapy and psychological interventions, and psychologists will generally adapt their approach to your needs and concerns.

THW011-07- Early Identification and Prevention of Potential Problems

 

What should I expect from therapy sessions with my psychologist?

How your therapy sessions will go largely depends on the specific issue(s) you are facing, psychologist’s therapeutic approach and style, as well as your own goals and preferences for therapy. At the beginning of each session, your psychologist will likely ask you to share what you have been thinking about or feeling, and may also ask if you have specific issues you would like to focus on. 

The first few therapy sessions are often about gathering information, and gives you and your psychologist the opportunity to get to know each other better. Subsequent sessions will typically be more therapeutic and may involve exploring specific topics, such as past experiences or issues brought up in earlier sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Psychologists Singapore

What is the difference between a clinical psychologist and a counselling psychologist?

Both clinical psychologists and counselling psychologists (also known as ‘general’ psychologists) have the same foundation of training and are able to work with clients who face general mental health issues. Both types of psychologists may also use similar therapeutic interventions and approaches, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), during their sessions.

 

However, clinical psychologists have a more specific scope of practice, with a more intense focus on assessing and treating mental illnesses, often working with clients with severe mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, major depression, or bipolar disorder. Their training often involves more extensive clinical internships in hospitals or mental health institutions, which gives them targeted experience in more complex psychological conditions.

 

Both counselling and clinical psychologists are qualified mental health professionals who are able to provide counselling and therapy and work in any area of psychology within their scope of practice. Both types of psychologists are regulated by professional boards (such as the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS)), ensuring they adhere to standards of practice. When choosing a psychologist, it's important for clients to consider the psychologist’s background, specialisation and approach, and whether these align with the clients’ specific needs.

What is the difference between psychiatrists, psychologists and counsellors?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors trained in diagnosing and managing mental health conditions through both psychotherapy and medication management. In Singapore, they are often the professionals consulted when a client’s condition is severe enough to warrant pharmacological intervention, such as antidepressants or antipsychotics. Psychiatrists work in hospitals, private practices, or community health settings.

 

Psychologists focus on non-medicinal therapeutic interventions and use evidence-based strategies like CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and psychological testing to assess and treat mental health conditions. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists in Singapore do not prescribe medication. However, they play a crucial role in long-term therapy and often collaborate with psychiatrists when needed.

 

Counsellors typically have at least a postgraduate diploma or a Master’s degree in Counselling. At ThoughtFull, most counsellors hold at least a Master's degree, ensuring a high level of expertise. Counsellors in Singapore often adopt a person-centred approach, focusing on helping clients work through personal, emotional, or relational issues. While they are not qualified to diagnose severe mental health disorders or prescribe medication, they provide integrative therapies that help clients improve their overall well-being and resolve specific issues such as anxiety, grief, or stress.

Is it worth getting a psychologist? What are the benefits of seeing a psychologist?

It may be worthwhile seeing a psychologist as therapy can help to improve your quality of life. It can help you learn to express your feelings in productive ways, recognise and regulate your own emotions, and resolve conflicts or challenges. 

 

In general, the benefits you can expect out of therapy are:

  • Valuable and healthy coping mechanisms
  • Stronger communication skills 
  • Improved skills to manage conflicts in relationships 
  • Increased self-awareness 
  • Unlearning harmful habits
  • Improved mental resilience
  • Increased confidence and self-esteem 

Is online therapy effective?

Yes, numerous studies have shown that online counselling and therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy in providing mental wellness support for various mental health conditions.

How do I choose a good psychologist?

Finding a psychologist who is a good fit for you and your needs will increase the effectiveness of your therapy sessions. 

 

How to find your ideal professional Therapist

 

At ThoughtFull, you gain access to our curated network of certified mental health professionals. We recommend that you book a session with your shortlisted psychologist and try working with them for 3 to 4 sessions to assess if you feel comfortable with them and if they understand you. After a few sessions, if you want to change your psychologist, you have the option of doing so with no additional charges. 

Do you need a referral to see a psychologist in Singapore?

You do not need a referral from your GP or psychiatrist to book an appointment with a private psychologist. However, a referral may be required to be eligible for subsidised healthcare.

How much does it cost to see a psychologist in Singapore?

A 60-minute session with a psychologist in Singapore can cost between $150 to $350 on average. Online therapy sessions are generally more affordable than in-person sessions, though this will vary depending on the type and extent of mental health support you may require.

 

At ThoughtFull, we understand the importance of mental health support and aim to provide access to online therapy at affordable costs. We offer the option of monthly, three-monthly or six-monthly billing cycles, so our users can pay a lower fee depending on their subscription duration. This allows you to achieve cost savings when you commit to long-term mental care.
