The Finest Psychotherapists in Singapore

Psychotherapists in Singapore are able to help with difficulties in coping with daily life, the impact of traumatic experiences, medical illness, grief or loss of a loved one, and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety.

For many, life can be really a challenge. Everyone needs a little help to get through it. If you are not sure who to approach, don’t worry as we have listed the most recommended specialists on the island.

Whether you are looking for family counselors, counseling for your children, therapists to help you with your self-worth, psychological assessments, or intervention therapies, we have got you covered.

Before we get into the lists, here are some terms/ words that are commonly used and their differences:

• Therapy vs Counselling – These two terms are commonly used interchangeably, but counseling is generally prescribed for a fixed number of sessions and shorter than therapy. It focuses on problem-solving specific issues that are happening to you in the present.
• Counselors – works with individuals who are experiencing personal difficulties and help them to overcome the problem by making appropriate changes in their lives.
• Psychotherapist – is a professional field that uses therapy to treat people with emotional problems and mental illnesses. Depending on the degree and specialty they get, psychotherapists can be a psychiatrist, psychologists, counselors, or social workers.
• Psychiatrist –  is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health.
• Psychologists – seek to understand and explain thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behavior.

Let’s learn more about the rest of their services and why they’re regarded as one of the best psychotherapists in Singapore.

Tidylodge

Building lives without limits

High Success Rate, Peak Performance, Permanent Change Psychotherapy and Executive Coaching. Kellyjo Coney-Khan is the first psychotherapist to bring Singapore intensive EMDR to high-performing corporate clients and executives. She is an award-winning therapist who is both UK and USA trained in EMDR Psychotherapy, Couples EMDR and Executive Coaching (with Accelerated Performance Coaching). With ten years of condensed experience under her belt, Kellyjo created tidylodge, a premium boutique experience with this groundbreaking treatment at the forefront, for those in Singapore looking for rapid transformation.

Her services are fully intensive, working with clients over a long weekend or for three days a week, with a pre and post-interview for evaluation. Why take years when results can be achieved in just a weekend? KellyJo’s motto is to build lives without limits to improve quality of life. This evidence-based and proven neurobiological method targets the brain organically to fully reprocess belief systems in an accelerated time frame. Intensives speed up the brain’s natural healing process by taking it into a theta healing state faster, thus creating balanced brain wave states required for focused concentration, increased motivation and intellectual activity, for rapid growth.

This treatment reconnects neural networks and delinks negative experiences to create adaptive belief systems that efficiently change a person’s state of mind. In turn, producing desired behaviours and outcomes that rely on ‘ease of change’, as opposed to the use of willpower and excessive focus on constant hustling to make change happen. With this method, your seemingly impossible goals become internalised, creating rapid transformation. Having worked with the world’s leading professionals in the industry, this 100% proven approach for changing mental models and behaviour and accelerating workplace performance places her at the head of the curve. 

Highlights:

• Only EMDRIA Certified Female in Singapore
• Trained by globally famous psychologists and Executive Coaches 
• Extensive skill-set and highly qualified 
• Award-Winning Therapist
• High success rate with client testimonials to back
• UK and USA trained
• Ten years of condensed experience 
• First and only to offer Intensives (official training) in Singapore 

Kellyjo is simply amazing! She has helped me deal with various issues ranging from overcoming negative habits, resolving frictions at home and improving focus and confidence at work. Her effortless and pioneering use of EMDR can create surprising outcomes that may seem too good to be true. In a short span of time, Kellyjo has made a permanent impact on my life and I am grateful for her assistance. – Leading Male lawyer and Partner at Major International Law Firm, Expatriate, Singapore

Kellyjo is truly a wizard and I don’t know how she does it. I went to her to get over a bad breakup and ended up discovering so much about myself that I will use for the rest of my life. The changes from the EMDR therapy (single sessions and the intensive) have been astounding. My worst fears and feelings of inadequacy have disappeared and I have the tools to cope with triggers and/or difficult situations. She’s so very kind and provided me with incredible insights which helped me view situations in a different light. I will be forever grateful to her, there’s no one like her! – International Education Sector, Female, Singaporean, Singapore

Up to date, all our customers have been word of mouth clients through a network of corporates in Singapore, people see peoples results and say, ‘I want what you have, what did you do’, ‘how have you changed so quickly’, to which they often reply ‘I had EMDR at tidylodge with Kellyjo and it changed my life’. This trailblazing approach outperforms every other coaching and psychotherapy modality I have heard of. –Tidylodge Male Business Advisor, Advisory Board Member and Global Fintech Expert, Singapore
