If you are unable to meet your counsellor face-to-face at The Counselling Paradigm, you can also opt to have the counselling conducted over online using Zoom, with online counselling and therapy available for individuals couples and families, including local and international clients. Sometimes, this may work for you if you are unable to travel to our location, as you can access sessions from home, reduce travel time and costs, and many clients feel more relaxed in a familiar setting, which may also reduce the stigma of seeking help for some clients.

Zoom is an Internet-based communication system that allows secure video calls for mental health counseling, and therapists typically use Zoom for Healthcare with features such as a virtual waiting room and meeting passcodes to help protect confidentiality. All you need is a computer with audio and video capacity, a stable Internet connection such as broadband, external headphones for clearer audio, and good background lighting.

Because video calls can make it harder for a therapist to read nonverbal cues, expectations, boundaries, and informed consent agreements covering the risks and benefits of remote counseling, along with a backup plan for technical issues, should be discussed before sessions.

Once you have booked an appointment, the zoom link to attend the session will be sent to your email, and the first session usually focuses on understanding your symptoms, concerns, and unique needs; sessions typically last 45 minutes for individuals, while couple counselling sessions usually last 75 minutes.

Online counselling can help with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, personal growth, and emotional support, and outcomes can be comparable to in person sessions, similar to our broader range of counselling services in Singapore. Our experienced counsellors use multiple therapeutic techniques tailored to clients’ unique needs, helping them build coping strategies, gain insights, and make informed decisions, and our team of practitioners brings diverse specialties to support different therapeutic needs. These therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their emotions and process mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Whether conducted in person or through Zoom counseling, our professional counselling services aim to enhance emotional wellness and overall well being. We support individuals, couples, families, and children, including play therapy for younger clients, to navigate life’s challenges and improve mental wellness. Our approach fosters a safe and supportive space for clients to heal, process emotions, and reduce stress on a daily basis. We also collaborate with employee assistance programmes to provide accessible mental health support in the workplace. At The Counselling Paradigm, we are committed to compassionate care that promotes mental well being and emotional wellness for coping strategies and make informed decisions. Couple counselling can support distressed romantic partnerships, and family counselling can help with challenging family dynamics.
