Psychotherapy & Counselling

Psychotherapy & Counselling in Singapore

Psychotherapy and counselling—often referred to as talk therapy—offer a collaborative space for exploring your inner world with a trained, attuned professional. At Sol Therapy, we see therapy not as a service, but as a relationship. It’s a place where you’re met with presence, curiosity, and care; where emotional wounds and life’s challenges can be named, held, and worked through—at your pace, and in your own way.

In our sessions, we move beyond simply offering a listening ear. We create a confidential, compassionate environment that invites exploration of your emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and relational patterns. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Mind Mapping, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI), and Mindfulness-Based Interventions. Each session is thoughtfully adapted to your lived experience, needs, and therapeutic goals.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, burnout, trauma, or life transitions, psychotherapy and counselling can help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Through this ongoing process, clients often uncover patterns, build emotional resilience, and experience renewed clarity, connection, and self-agency.

 

A Relational Approach

At Sol Therapy, we are grounded in a trauma-sensitive lens. This means we recognize how trauma—whether overt or subtle—can shape nervous system responses, thought patterns, coping mechanisms, and our very sense of self. We understand that healing requires more than tools; it requires trust, pacing, and emotional safety.

Our therapists are trained to work with care to co-create sessions that feel collaborative, not directive. We do not rush the process or push for disclosure before you’re ready. Instead, we honour your boundaries, your voice, and your inner timing. For many clients, therapy becomes a space where they can begin to feel safe again—in relationship, in emotion, and within themselves.

 

The Role of the Therapeutic Relationship

One of the most transformative elements of psychotherapy is the therapeutic alliance—the trust and connection between therapist and client. This relationship provides a reparative space where you can explore your inner world without fear of judgment. It allows for emotional honesty, experimentation with new ways of being, and gently uncovering the roots of long-held pain.

As you share your experiences in the presence of a steady, attuned other, you may begin to notice new patterns emerging—new insight, new choices, and often, a new relationship with yourself. Our role is not to give you answers, but to walk alongside you as you find your way.

 

Psychotherapy and Counselling: What’s the Difference?

While both psychotherapy and counselling involve talk-based support, they may differ in focus and scope. Psychotherapy often explores deeper or longstanding emotional patterns, attachment wounds, or internal conflicts, and tends to be longer-term and exploratory. Counselling, on the other hand, may focus on more immediate life challenges such as grief, career changes, or relationship stressors, and may offer short-term, solution-focused support.

At Sol Therapy, we don’t draw hard lines between the two. Our therapists are trained to flex between approaches—offering depth where needed, and structure where helpful—always adapting to the needs of the client sitting in front of us.

 

Empowerment, Not Prescription

Rather than positioning you as a passive recipient of help, we engage you as an active participant in your healing. You are the expert of your experience. Together, we work toward goals that matter to you, using strategies that feel relevant and empowering.

For clients who have adapted to life through survival strategies—avoidance, numbing, perfectionism, over-functioning, or people-pleasing—therapy becomes a space to gently understand these patterns, honour how they helped you cope, and explore new ways of being that support your wholeness.

 

Your Story Matters

We know how much it takes to reach out. Whether you are stepping into therapy for the first time or returning after a break, you are welcome here. Our team of registered psychotherapists and counsellors is here to offer grounded support, not quick fixes. We meet you with care, clarity, and respect—holding space for who you’ve been, who you are, and who you’re becoming.
