Psychotherapy, Counselling & Somatic Therapy in Singapore

Manage your Mental & Emotional Health

Counselling & Psychotherapy or Coaching can help individuals learn coping mechanisms and strategies for managing their symptoms and improving their overall quality of life.

They can also gain a better understanding of themselves and their emotional needs, leading to greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. Therapy can be particularly effective for those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health conditions.

There's no single "right" therapist, and finding someone who fits your needs can take time, openness, and a little trial and error. Find a therapist for you.

How to work with us:

Psychotherapy & Counselling

Ongoing work, at whatever pace suits you.

Where most people start Counselling & Psychotherapy A space to understand what's happening, and why.

Therapy can be a powerful tool for identifying and addressing what sits underneath how you've been feeling. Our therapists work across a range of approaches, and the right one depends on you rather than on us — we'll find it together in the first few sessions.

Particularly suited to those navigating trauma, stress, or life transitions who feel stuck or disconnected from their bodies and their experiences.

Our counsellors work with a somatic lens — talking, but attentive to what the body is doing while you talk. If you've tried therapy and felt that talking alone wasn't where the relief was, this is worth reading: Why your counsellor should understand your body, too.

Clinical Hypnotherapy For chronic pain, and symptoms tied to stress.

Clinical Hypnotherapy uses focused attention, deep relaxation and guided imagery to work with the connection between mind and body. At Soma Haus it is offered primarily to support chronic pain management and psycho-neuro-immunology (PNI) — how psychological states, the nervous system and the immune system interact.

Sessions draw on hypnoanalgesia — the use of hypnotic suggestion to change how pain signals are experienced. Clients often report reduced intensity, greater tolerance, and less emotional distress around their symptoms.

It is not the stage-hypnosis stereotype. It's a collaborative process, and you learn techniques you can use on your own between sessions, giving you more say over symptoms that can otherwise feel outside your control.

Particularly suited to those who have found medical treatment alone insufficient, who want an active part in managing symptoms alongside their existing care, or who want to support the success of an upcoming procedure.

Approaches we draw on within sessions

Our therapists work eclectically, drawing on CBT, ACT, EMDR, somatic therapy, Jungian sandplay, tapping and more within your sessions rather than as separate bookings. Each is set out under Which therapeutic modality is right for me? below.

Assessment

One-off, and you leave with a report.

Diagnostic Assessments Understanding what's actually going on.

For adults and children. Diagnostic assessments are crucial in understanding an individual's cognitive, emotional, social and behavioural functioning — and in giving a name to something that may have gone unnamed for a long time.

Psychometric Assessments A detailed picture, and a report you can use.

For adults and children. Psychometric assessments provide detail about cognitive strengths and difficulties, helping to inform tailored supports, interventions and next steps. The report can be used to request accommodations within school or work settings.

Which Therapeutic Modality is Right For Me?

Choosing the right counselling modality can feel overwhelming, but it often comes down to what feels most relevant to your current needs and how you like to process. Some approaches focus on thoughts and behaviours (like CBT), others on the body and trauma (like somatic therapy or EMDR), or on relationships and attachment patterns. What matters most is feeling safe, heard, and supported.

Therapists at Soma Haus adopt an eclectic approach, integrating multiple modalities to meet you where you are. You don’t need to get it perfect but we highly recommend starting with a discovery call or the first few sessions to help you find the best fit for your journey.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Accepting thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, and moving toward what matters to you. Part of the third wave of CBT.

Attachment-Based Therapy

How the attachments formed with parents and caregivers carry into adulthood, and shape how you relate now.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

The most researched approach in psychotherapy, with sixty years of evidence behind it. Used for anxiety, depression, stress and trauma.

Clinical Hypnotherapy

Focused attention and guided relaxation, offered here primarily for chronic pain and symptoms closely tied to stress and the nervous system.

EMDR and MEMI

Working with distressing memories using bilateral stimulation, at a pace you set.

Emotion Focused Therapy

Emotions treated as guides carrying real information about your needs and values, rather than as problems to manage.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (Tapping)

Focused attention on a difficulty paired with light tapping on acupressure points. Simple enough to use on your own between sessions.

Expressive and Creative Therapies

Working through image, material and movement when words aren't the easiest way in.

Gottman Method

For couples

Research-based couples work on the patterns that determine whether a relationship thrives or struggles.

Jungian Sandplay & Psychotherapy

A tray of sand and a collection of small figures, working symbolically rather than through explanation. For when talking hasn't shifted things.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches

Working with the link between thoughts, emotions and the body, drawing on MBCT and related practices.

Somatic Therapy

Body-oriented counselling, working with what is held in sensation, posture and the nervous system as well as in thought.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Health & Well Being

It’s important to note that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. A holistic approach may include a combination of body-based therapy, mental health approaches, as well as alternative approaches such as sound bath meditation, breathwork, yoga and more. By working collaboratively with a therapist, individuals can feel empowered to take an active role in their overall well-being.

Questions people ask us

If yours isn't here, ask — there's no question too small, and nothing you're expected to know before you begin.

How much does therapy cost in Singapore?

At Soma Haus, counselling and psychotherapy start at $180 for a 50-minute session, rising with the seniority of your therapist. Clinical hypnotherapy is $200 for 50 minutes, and student counselling is $50. Diagnostic assessments are $250 per hour and psychometric assessments $300 per hour. A sliding scale is available.

What is the difference between a counsellor, a psychotherapist and a psychologist?

Counsellors and psychotherapists work with you therapeutically over time, and in Singapore may register with the Singapore Association for Counselling. Psychologists hold postgraduate training in psychology, may register with the Singapore Register of Psychologists, and are the practitioners who carry out formal diagnostic and psychometric assessments. Our team includes all three.

Do I need a referral to book therapy or an assessment?

No. You can book counselling, psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy or a psychological assessment with us directly, without a doctor's referral. If you have been referred, or have reports from a school, doctor or previous clinician, bring them along — they give your therapist a useful starting point.

How do I know which type of therapy is right for me?

You don't need to decide before you start. Our therapists work eclectically, drawing on CBT, ACT, EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy, somatic therapy, Jungian sandplay and more, and will find the fit with you across the first few sessions. If you'd rather talk it through first, book a discovery call.

What happens in a first session?

A first therapy session is mostly about what brought you here and what you'd like to be different. There is nothing to prepare and nothing you can get wrong. Assessments work differently — diagnostic sessions run 60 to 90 minutes, and psychometric assessments take three to six hours, sometimes across more than one visit.

Do you assess for ADHD and autism?

Yes. Our psychometric assessments can help identify specific learning disorders, ADHD and autism, and include IQ testing where relevant. The report can be used to request accommodations at school or work, or to support a special school placement. Assessments are available for both adults and children.

Can I claim counselling on insurance or MediSave?

Outpatient counselling at a private clinic is not generally claimable under MediSave. Some private insurance plans and corporate health benefits do cover psychological treatment, depending on the plan and sometimes on whether a referral is involved. We can provide an itemised receipt to support a claim — it's worth checking the specifics with your insurer first.

Is what I say confidential?

What you bring to a session stays between you and your therapist. There are a small number of legal and ethical limits to that, most commonly where there is a risk of serious harm, and your therapist will explain them at the start — so you know where you stand before you share anything.

Where are your clinics?

Soma Haus has two locations in Singapore: 281 Joo Chiat Road, Level 3, and Block 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, #02-107. Both are open seven days a week by appointment only.

Not sure where to start? Book a discovery call and we'll talk it through — no pressure, no hard sell.
