Depression Counselling & Treatment

Depression burdens and saps hope, causing persistent unhappiness. It impairs functioning and self-esteem. Singapore's mental health study reveals its prevalence at 1 in 16. Our counselors aid your fight with diverse techniques.

Anxiety can cause significant emotional distress and disruptions to daily life, especially if you're a working professional. At our clinic, we aim to help you learn methods for managing your anxiety and avoiding triggers that may cause you to have panic attacks.

Hi, I’m Cassandra Chiu, a psychotherapist/Counsellor and accredited coach based in Singapore.

I am a mental health professional who has been offering counselling and coaching since 2011. At most times, I’m a psychotherapist to clients struggling with emotional and relational challenges. And on a few occasions, a consultant on diversity and inclusion to businesses and government agencies. After-hours, you’ll find me taking in the role of an advocate for persons with disabilities. I am especially passionate about Guide Dogs and equal opportunities for the Disabled in the Asian Context.

By working through your complex emotional state, you can understand how to reduce worries and resolve stressors in your life.

Here, in a safe space, you'll receive the support you need to work through your issues. If you're feeling afraid, know that you're not alone. We treat people from all walks of life, and our counselling services are meant to help improve your mental health significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

Do I need counselling / psychotherapy or coaching?

Should you have clear goals and know where you need to be in order to be at your best, coaching is the preferred process for you.

Should you be feeling emotionally or mentally stuck, you first need counselling to clear the blockages before working on improving the various aspects of your life.

Will you give my employer or somebody else information about what was discussed in our sessions?

No. With the exceptions of life-threatening and emergency circumstances, I shall maintain full confidentiality and abide by the ethical code of the Singapore Association of Counselling and the International Coach Federation. This requires me to securely keep an archive of records and receive regular supervision.

I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?

Not at all! People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to ask for it. Even the best sports car needs a little tuning up every now and then to have the best performance! In our work together, I’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of your struggles.

How much will it cost?

We charge $400 for an initial session that may last up to 1.5 hours and $250 per hour for subsequent sessions. We also offer additional packages, and do not charge GST. Find out more about our prices here.

How long is each session?

Typically, the first session takes up to 90 minutes. This will ensure that we have enough time to get to understand your concerns and work on solutions that will help you feel better quickly. Subsequent sessions are approx. 55 minutes.

How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?

Generally you must show up, be present, open and honest to yourself. However, each person is unique, so I tailor the counselling or coaching according to what you need.

  Cassandra is very professional at her job, and very quickly created a safe and welcoming environment for me to introspect. Her honest and empathetic approach has helped me gain clarity on my inner thought process. She has also given me valuable tools for reflection/communication that have helped me beyond our sessions.

  Cassandra is very patient and she checks in regularly during the session to assess whether I felt we were heading in the direction I had in mind. This really helps and I felt much lighter after just one session with her. Her solutions really helped me regulate my emotions and I would highly recommend her as a private counsellor.

  Cassandra worked with me for over two years. I started going to her when experiencing a personal crisis. She was able to get through to me on the same level that I tend to process life - cognitive intellect. The emotional tools I have learned from Cassandra have resulted in continuous personal stability. If you need an empathetic therapist who is kind but firm, then she is a great choice.

  Having never done counseling before, I could not have asked for a better first experience. Cassandra is a kind, thoughtful, but most importantly patient counsellor. Her soft but direct approach made me feel very comfortable talking to her. She did not rush the process and asked poignant questions. Cassandra helped me realize things I knew deep down, but needed a third party to acknowledge. Her guidance has gone a long way in helping me on this journey!
