Online Therapy for global clients
Effective therapy does not require you to be in the same room as your therapist. At Balanced Life Psychotherapy & Counselling, we have worked with clients globally via online sessions for many years — and the evidence is clear: online therapy works.
Whether you are based in Singapore and prefer the convenience of a remote session, or you are living abroad and want to work with a therapist who deeply understands Asian cultural contexts and the expat experience, we are here for you. Read our blog here on online therapy.
Who Online Therapy Is For
Our online therapy clients include:
- Singapore residents who prefer remote sessions for convenience or privacy
- Expatriates based in Singapore who travel frequently for work
- Expats and global professionals based in Dubai, London, New York, Amsterdam, Zurich, Tokyo, Jakarta and other cities
- People who have relocated from Singapore and want to continue working with a familiar therapist
- Individuals in countries or regions with limited access to quality English-language psychotherapy
- Clients who are temporarily overseas for work or study
What We Offer Online
All of our individual therapy services are available via online sessions, including:
- Individual therapy for anxiety, depression, burnout, stress, identity and life transitions
- Couples counselling (both partners join from the same or different locations)
- Teen therapy
- Executive coaching
- Exploratory 30-minute first sessions
Some psychological assessments (ADHD, ASD, IQ and others) may require in-person attendance at our Singapore clinic but we are able to do short assessments online.
Does Online Therapy Work?
Research consistently shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for the vast majority of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. The therapeutic relationship — the trust and connection between client and therapist — translates fully to the online environment.
Many of our clients who began with in-person sessions have seamlessly transitioned to online — and many new clients choose online from the very first session.
Privacy and Confidentiality Online
All online sessions are conducted via a secure, encrypted video platform. Sessions are fully confidential and comply with Singapore data privacy law and the professional standards of the SAC and BACP. We recommend you join from a private space where you feel comfortable to speak freely.
