Counselling & Therapy Services in Singapore
I’m Cassandra Chiu, a registered counsellor with over 15 years’ experience. I work with individuals and couples navigating demanding careers, family responsibilities and relationship difficulties. You will work directly with me to make sense of what is happening, address difficult conversations and identify practical steps towards change. My approach is warm, direct and purposeful, with room to speak openly about what matters to you.

My Counselling Services in Singapore
Depression Counselling
When low mood, exhaustion or loss of interest makes life harder, counselling offers a place to understand what you are experiencing and begin taking manageable steps forward.
Anxiety Counselling
You can appear capable and composed while living with constant worry, tension or overthinking. I help you understand what keeps anxiety going and develop practical ways to manage it.
Marriage Therapy / Relationship Counselling
When conversations become arguments, trust has been damaged or you feel increasingly disconnected, I help you understand the pattern and work towards clearer communication, greater trust and informed decisions about your relationship.
Online Counselling and Coaching
Work with me online when travel, work commitments or living overseas makes attending in person difficult. Online sessions are available for individuals and couples, including partners joining from different locations.
Meet the Counsellor/Therapist
I’m Cassandra Chiu, a psychotherapist, registered counsellor and accredited coach based in Singapore.
My counselling work focuses on emotional and relationship difficulties. I draw on Gottman Method training for couples work, alongside Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, according to your needs. I also consult on disability inclusion and advocate for equal opportunities for disabled people.
Private Counselling Singapore
Appointments are available in person at Rocca Balestier or online. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or your relationship, we begin by understanding your concerns, identifying your priorities and agreeing what to work on first.
You do not need to arrive with everything worked out. I will help you put difficult experiences into words, recognise patterns and develop practical ways forward. We review progress together and adjust our work as your needs become clearer.

What to Expect During a Counselling Session
The initial appointment is scheduled for up to 90 minutes, giving us time to understand your concerns, identify what needs attention first and begin working together. A standard follow-up is a one-hour appointment block, with approximately 50 minutes of counselling and the remaining time for clinical notes and administration.
A Private, Respectful Space
You can speak openly without being judged. I explain confidentiality and its safety and legal limits before we begin, including the different arrangements for individual counselling and couples work.
Clear Goals and Regular Review
Together, we identify what you want to change and agree practical goals. We review what is helping and where a different approach may be needed.
Individual and Couples Counselling
I offer individual counselling and couples counselling. We discuss which approach fits your concerns. Individual meetings within couples counselling remain part of the couples work, with confidentiality arrangements agreed in advance. Where there is abuse, coercive control or fear, safety takes priority.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Counselling can help you work through emotional or relationship difficulties. Coaching focuses on specific goals, decisions or changes in your personal or professional life. If you are unsure which fits, we can discuss your concerns and agree the most appropriate approach.
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.
I do not share your counselling conversations or records with your employer, partner, family or others without your consent, unless disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect you or someone else from harm. I explain these limits at the outset. Individual sessions within couples counselling have separate arrangements, agreed with both partners before those sessions begin. Please read the individual and couples confidentiality information for the full explanation.
Seeking counselling does not mean you are weak or unable to cope. It gives you focused time with a trained professional to understand what is happening, consider your options and work on changes that are difficult to make alone.

You bring the concerns you want help with; you do not need to know exactly how to explain them. I guide the conversation, help identify patterns and work with you on practical next steps. Your willingness to reflect and try things between sessions supports the work.
