Before the initial session, you will receive an email with administrative details from Hope and Heart Counselling that include the payment details and a few forms to complete in advance. Payment is required 48 hours in advance before each session.

At the initial session, please allow the counsellor to get to know you and what made you seek counselling. You can ask any questions you may have about therapy as well. Therapy goals will be developed together, and the goals will guide the rest of the therapy sessions. 

The initial session will take 50 minutes. At Hope and Heart Counselling, the predominant approach used is Internal Family Systems (IFS), although other approaches (see "About") can be employed, depending on the suitability and preference. IFS sessions are best at 80 minutes each, to allow time for the deep intra-personal work. Nonetheless, you can choose to stay with 50 minutes. 

What you share with the counsellor is kept confidential except in cases where there might be harm to yourself or to others, or where there are legal obligations. As part of our professional obligations, counsellors are required to receive supervision with a clinical supervisor/consultant and sometimes with other counsellors; care will be taken to preserve the clients' anonymity. 

The current rate for therapy is S$250 for an 80-minute session and S$190 for a 50-minute session. Payment is required 48 hours in advance before each session.  The therapy will be held at a central location. Alternatively, you could also choose to have sessions held online via Zoom.
